Only afterwards. It's the difference between an SLR and a rangefinder style, which is what most digital cameras are. In order to see what the lens sees, there's a mirror that directs light up to the viewfinder and therefore not the sensor. The sensor is only exposed when you press the shutter release and the mirror moves up and out of the way, and the shutter opens. I've got both types of camera and I prefer the SLR's viewfinder to the EVF on my F717. In low light I find the EVF very annoying.

Currently, I use a minolta dimage 7hi. The histogram shows before shooting. My question relates to the D100. Does the histogram display before taking a shot or only afterwards? |
