operating - eye cup or LCD?

I pretty much always use the top handle and operate looking at the LCD - it is too hard to operate glued to the eye cup - I find it constrictive and it tends to inhibit freedom of movement when you are handheld.

curious what others think.

camera out front.. lcd in normal flip out position. elbows in tight to body(very important.. ads stability, and less arm fatigue) right hand in strapped handhold, left hand with thumb underfront left flat corner of bottom and index finger on focus/zoom.

Actually you are missing a category. You need "sometimes from eye cup, but usually LCD".

he he... John, dont give up, you must know that quality has a price. period !
It takes a little more effort i agree, but you can see real time the exact look, and it should impress customers.

Go ahead, i'm sure the competition wont follow, and that's the ultimate viewfinder... ;)

but please, find a way to attach it to your cam for more flexibility.
Keep us informed.

Re: operating - eye cup or LCD?

I tend to use both, the same as if i was shooting Betacam, DVCAM or any other format. Eyecup, color lcd ( if the camera has one), and a seperate monitor. I think each one can be used to reference different things yet one may show you something your not seeing on the others.
 
Re: operating - eye cup or LCD?

i use both...but mostly the lcd...can get tired after awhile of squinting tarantino. :D
 
Re: operating - eye cup or LCD?

I try to use eye peice because I shoot on film alot and if I take my eye off the eye peice without closeing it light will reflect off the mirror and onto the film... and then I get fired the next morning :P

So I try and make it a habit... :-[
