A wide-viewing angle lets you frame your shot in a variety of ways for both shooting and viewing. The Intelligent LCD function also automatically adjusts the brightness in 11 steps according to shooting conditions.

Optional LVF (Live View Finder)

An optional 1,440,000-dot equivalent Live View Finder (LVF) DMW-LVF2 featuring a magnification of approximately 0.7x* and 100% field of view.

The LVF is also handy for low-angle shots because it can be tilted vertically from 0 to 90 degrees.
