Integrated digital viewfinder

Thanks to the integrated digital viewfinder, you immediately have the part of your subject you want to capture in your sights.
Thanks to the viewfinder’s high resolution of 2.33 megapixels, the clarity and contrast of the viewing image is outstanding at all times – even in particularly bright ambient light.
As the viewfinder covers 100% of the image field, framing of subjects is extremely precise and you have complete control of composition.
The C-Lux naturally also offers a range of dioptre compensation settings that allow unhindered use of the viewfinder by spectacle wearers.
