A to Z Challenge - V

There are two ways to plan/frame/view your subjects before taking the shot. You can set your camera to "live" mode, which makes your LCD screen active or you can look through the viewfinder, or eyepiece. Most photographers prefer the latter as viewfinders give a more realistic view of your photo. LCD tend to distort what will be the final photograph, colors are off, etc.
 
Most SLR cameras have accurate through the lens viewing, so what you see is what the lens sees.
