Realised why I have trouble with my Z-Finder

Hey,

Wonder if anyone else feels this or can comment.

I thought it was the focusing, but it's not. It's something in the optics, and one's eye maybe, that makes using the z-finder whilst moving really difficult.

If it was a monitor I'd say looking through is like a tv with a low refresh rate. Whereas looking at the LCD is fine, when I put on the z-finder I can focus but the moment I move it either it or my eye or whatever just can't keep track, so it feels like it's a low refresh rate kinda deal.

Yeah the refresh rate on DSLR screens is not that great. They are more designed for reviewing still images than displaying a moving image.
 
Aye, and when using the magnifier and having a moving image, say filming live music as I do with moving band members, it does my head in!
