You have to take your eye away from the viewfinder to see what you have set. If this is true, it is not a "match-diode" camera. For it to be, you have to be able to see BOTH in the viewfinder. I won't argue that one can get to know their camera well enough, or take certain kinds of pictures, etc., such that this is no handicap. If I'm wrong about what I've said, I apologize. My info comes from a review of the camera and from a friend who has one. Carl Yaffey cbosgd!cly
