Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The optional 202,000-dot equivalent Live View Finder (LVF) DMW-LVF1 featuring a magnification of approximately 1.04x (0.52x*) and 100% field of view is designed for use with the DMC-GF1. Because it displays the same information as the LCD, it is effectively used in situations where the LCD is difficult to see, such as under bright sunlight. The LVF is also handy for low-angle shots as it can be tilted vertically from 0 to 90 degrees.

    The DMW-LVF1E viewfinder for the Panasonic GF1 is expensive but extremely versatile. As expected, it allows photographers like me to hold the camera up to my eye. This may be a neccessary move in bright light when the screen would be almost unusable. However, it hinges through 90 degrees allowing you to hold the camera at low level without being a contortionist. This is extremely useful in close-ups of flowers etc. Finally, there is a switch on the viewfinder that allows easy switching between viewfinder and screen. If you have a GF1, then you should consider this as a potential accessory.

    This is a nice accessory for the GF1. It comes in a nice little leather case.
    I bought it because I prefer to look down a viewfinder. Having said this using the GF1 is great with and without the EVF, and allot of the time I dont have the EVF on me I really dont miss it.
    The resolution of the EVF is a little cause for concern as it isnt high enough to check the focus of an image accurately. So for important shots its best to stick to the LCD anyway.

    Its a very well made device that compliments the GF1 very well, however its not for everyone as well as being VERY expensive.
    I dont regret my purchase, but its not quite good enough for the money for real satisfaction..

    its also sold cheaper elsewhere on the internet just to let you know ;)

    very useful accessory 26 Dec 2009
    This electronic view finder is extremely usefyl with a small camera as Panasonic GF1. It adopts easily to my vision, it can be adjusted to be bright enough to cope with the mediterranian sun, it provides all screen info, saving battery, it also can tilt downwards, an extremely practical feature when shooting low and finally it can be easily removed.I am too happy to have bought it!

    Good product
    Very useful, as others have said, though the resolution isn't as good as the rear display. Nice - if pricey - addition to my GF1.
