Viewfinder

Camera

In photography the viewfinder contributes to the frame.

Viewfinder is the name given to the device that allows you to focus a camera or fix the aim of a firearm .

By extension, various devices that, in household appliances and other machines, display information of interest to the user are known as viewers. The display of a microwave oven, for example, can display the time, cooking time and power.

For example: “Look in the viewfinder to see if all the models appear in the image” , “I didn't have time to look at the viewfinder: I just took the camera and started shooting” , “The sniper spent two hours motionless, looking through the scope with your finger on the trigger.”

Viewfinder in photography

In the field of photography , the viewfinder contributes to the framing of the field of view . It is a frame or a screen that the photographer can observe to have an approximation of the result of the shot.

Photographic cameras may have an electronic viewfinder , a screen viewfinder , a reflex viewfinder , an optical viewfinder or a frame viewfinder . Digital cameras, very popular since the arrival of the 21st century , usually have an electronic viewfinder, which is a screen that displays the photo.

The term on the helmets

Of course, we must not forget that the helmets used for riding a motorcycle have a visor. Its main function is, in addition to allowing the driver to see, to ensure that his eyes cannot be damaged for any reason. That is, it prevents everything from dust particles to insects and any other adverse element from affecting it.

Precisely because of the important function it performs, it is essential to keep the viewer in perfect condition. And that means washing it frequently , with soap and water, and avoiding leaving the helmet anywhere so that it does not get scratched.

Weapon

The scope helps to fine-tune your aim.

In the field of weapons , the idea of ​​a scope is linked to the concept of a scope : a piece that is used to fine-tune aim.

There are weapons that have a telescopic sight to increase the size of the target that is focused on, a feature that helps the shooter have greater precision at long distances.

a publishing house

In the same way, we cannot ignore the existence of Visor Libros , which is the name of a publishing house with more than four decades of work behind it.

It is an entity that specializes in poetry and has collections as important as those that revolve around the Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez and Mario Benedetti , among others.

Cartographic viewer

In addition, we also have to point out the existence of what is called a cartographic viewer. Basically we can say that it is a web resource that exists in Spain and that is responsible for offering data related to the Urban Information System (SIU) .

Thanks to it, any citizen can access those that have to do with the country's maps in different areas and at different levels.
