The Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)
The X-Pro1’s EVF offers 100% frame coverage; unlike other
cameras with poor frame coverage, there is no need to
worry that photographs may include objects not visible in the
viewfinder. Full frame coverage is particularly important for
macro photography, which demands precise framing. The
high-resolution, approximately 1,440k-dots, 0.47-inch display
provides clear images during both live subject preview and
post-shooting image review.
Preview the Effects of Exposure Compensation, Film Simulation, and Other Settings
The EVF lets you preview the effects of camera settings before shooting. When the exposure compensation dial is rotated to adjust exposure compensation,
for example, the effect is immediately visible. You can also accurately preview the effects of each film simulation option.

Switching Between the EVF and OVF
Section II : The X-Pro1
The X-Pro1 features a viewfinder selector that can be used to switch
instantly between the OVF and EVF displays. The selector can be
operated without taking your eye from the viewfinder, allowing you to take
advantage of the features of either display according to your photographic
objectives.
Each time the viewfinder selector is raised, the camera switches instantly between
the OVF and EVF. The selector can be operated without taking your eye from the
viewfinder, allowing you to switch displays without missing a shot. A hallmark X-Pro1
technique is to first view the area around the frame in the OVF and compose a shot,
then switch to the EVF and add polish your artistic conception with precision framing

Review
While digital cameras are ready to shoot as soon as they are turned on, film cameras in the days before extensive
automation required that a certain sequence of operations be performed before pictures could be taken. Users of early
SLR cameras had to open the camera, install film and then, after finding their subject, set aperture and shutter speed,
put an eye to the viewfinder and focus, advance the film, and finally release the shutter. This process, which seemed
perfectly natural at the time, was in effect a kind of ritual that had to be performed before pictures could be taken, a
connected series of actions with a photograph as its result. A key element of this process connecting it to the choice
of subject, the genesis of any photograph, was the act of looking through the viewfinder and focusing. In contrast to
traditional rangefinder cameras with two separate optical systems operating in parallel, the X-Pro1’s hybrid electronic
viewfinder lets you experience the style of focusing used in SLR cameras, and we hope you will take advantage of this
opportunity to experience manual focus photography as it was meant to be.
