OMD EM1 II

[reubencahn 2]

My wife is new to shooting underwater.  She is using and OMD EM1 II in a Nauticam housing.  What settings are needed to be able to shoot using the viewfinder while automatically displaying the captured image on the LCD.  Sorry for the idiotic question, but I've only ever shot a Nikon, and I'm at a loss to help her.

For shooting with the viewfinder there is a physical button to the left of it.

For displaying images in the lcd you just need to set the time in the menu.

It displays the image it has just taken in whichever of the two you have been using - so if you expose in the viewfinder it will display the image taken in the viewfinder.  If you are using the LCD to compose - the image appears on the LCD.  There is a menu setting for the length of time it will display the image just taken - default I think is 0.5 sec.    This is in the spanner icon in the menu under RecView.  The idea is you don't need to change from viewfinder to LCD to see the image just taken.  If you press the review button that defaults to displaying on the LCD.  If you want to see the image on the LCD as above press the button to the left of the viewfinder.

There are a number of other EVF settings you need to set for example the EVF auto switch should be off or the EVF stays on because the housing makes it seem like there is always an eye at the viewfinder.  There is live view boost which always displays a bright image when composing - not attempting to show actual exposure.

So you can't shoot in the viewfinder and then use the LCD to automatically show a preview. This is the way a DSLR works as the OLF can't display the picture. 

In MFT both EVF and LCD are screens and are mutually exclusive
