The monitor LCD on the back is just like they all have. Frank by the way the first time I saw Electronic Viewfinder abbreviated to EVF was with my first VHS video camera about 25 years ago. Its use on this forum probably only started during the discussions of the EVF on the Leica (which was a chrome Panasonic LC1 forget the Leica model number), around 2003/2004 winter. There was a -lot- of discussion about this at that time...
