Live LCD View Now On Digital SLR Cameras

Three of the major digital camera brands: Sony, Nikon and Pentax are set to move to live view on their range of SLR digital cameras. Currently, SLR digital cameras do not allow live images to be viewed on the display screen.
The technology that the the vendors will adopt is the Olympus’ Live View technology that allows you to get a live image on the LCD screen on its digital SLR cameras just like most compact models.
Created by a camera accessory maker Argraph, the Zigview S2 Eyepiece Adapter slots over your camera’s optical viewfinder and shows a live view of what it sees in its swiveling screen.
The Zigview-S2 display module rotates 300 degrees and flips up and down 180 degrees.
Argraph says that it will also detect variations on the viewfinder image to fire camera shutter and you can divide the screen image into nine sections and vary sensitivity in each section for a wide range of applications.
The sensing module and display module can be separated using an accessory video transceiver cable.
This enables you to remotely monitor the viewfinder image from up to 20 metres away and also fire the shutter remotely from the remote monitor.
