9xi: Advanced Graphic Display Viewfinder


The Dynax 9xi's bright Advanced Graphic Display Viewfinder is one of those rare design concepts that transcend existing technical limits. It displays all the information you need to monitor camera settings, right before your eyes, including the focus and exposure modes currently selected as well as focus and metering areas. In addition this display superimposes only the relevant camera control information over the viewfinder image, so you can quickly adjust camera settings using the front and rear control dials without taking your eye away from the viewfinder.



Pressing the function button once lets you monitor the current function assignments when you select an exposure mode with the front control dial and adjust an exposure setting using the rear control dial.


Focus Area Indicator

In most situations, the Dynax 9xi's ultra-wide focus area, using four AF sensors, appears in the viewfinder. When you hold the camera vertically the optimum focus frame for vertical shots, using three AF sensors, is automatically indicated. One of four local focus areas may also be temporarily selected using the Quick button or locked using the function button and front control dial.
