The viewfinder features a spherical acute matte focusing screen that provides a bright, clear view, making it easier to see your subject and compose your shots. Unlike conventional focusing screens, the spherical acute matte focusing screen also makes it easier to visually confirm focusing sharpness, so you can enjoy uncompromising clarity, brightness and the ability to shoot with complete confidence.
For action photography and moving subjects, continuous shooting is the way to go. Just switch into Continuous mode to enjoy ultra-high-speed film advance of up to 3 frames per second*, with the assurance that at least one of the shots will capture the moment that memories are made of.
