cameradisplay

Cameradisplay, also called a camera display, refers to an electronic screen or view that presents a live video feed or captured images from an attached camera. It is used to frame shots, review footage, and adjust camera settings.

Common implementations include rear LCD panels on still and video cameras, electronic viewfinders (EVFs) built into mirrorless cameras, built-in or external digital displays for camcorders, and smartphone or tablet screens used as monitors via wireless connections.

In operation, the display shows real-time image data, often with overlays such as exposure metering, histograms, level gauges, focus peaking, zebra stripes, and audio meters.

Technologies vary by panel type (LCD vs OLED), resolution, brightness, contrast, and refresh rate. EVFs use magnification and eye relief; rear panels may be touch-enabled for focus, menu access, and gesture control.

Applications include still photography, cinematography, surveillance, live streaming, and research. In professional video work, calibrated displays enable accurate color grading and exposure decisions.

Considerations include latency between the camera and display, outdoor readability with glare, battery consumption, durability, and color accuracy. Wireless displays introduce potential compression and delay.

Cameradisplay technology continues to advance with higher resolutions, larger bandwidth, and improved color fidelity for both photography and video workflows.
