What do SLR cameras mean by shooting with viewfinder and shooting with real-time display?

1, viewfinder shooting: shooting through the "small window" above the camera.

2, real-time display shooting: shooting through the camera LCD screen.

3. The viewfinder of most cameras can't achieve 100% framing, that is, the range of photos taken is larger than what you see.

And LCD framing can be 100% the same.

Digital SLR camera is a single lens reflex digital camera, referred to as SLR (single lens reflex). This technology is to install a mirror at a 45 angle in front of the film plane, and there are ground glass, pentaprism eyepiece and so on above the mirror in turn.

The pentaprism repeatedly reflects the real image light to change the optical path, and sends the image to the eyepiece, so that the image seen in the observation window is always consistent with the image on the film, and the framing range is basically consistent with the actual shooting range. The unique design of this prism enables the photographer to directly observe the image passing through the lens from the viewfinder.
