Information, please.

The DSC-R1 viewfinder and LCD monitor present a wealth of shooting information. Because the R1 image sensor has a wider 3:2 aspect ratio than the viewfinder or monitor, Sony can position a full-time exposure display at the bottom of these screens. You always see status for aperture, shutter, Exposure Value over/under, focus lock, exposure lock and flash.

Selectable Grid Lines can divide the frame vertically and horizontally into thirds, for easy "rule of thirds" shot composition. Selectable Zebra Stripes give you on-screen warning of overexposure. Histogram shows you the range of scene brightness levels while you shoot. And R/G/B Histograms analyze color during playback!
