A viewfinder is the viewing window you look through in a camera to compose your shot. The viewfinder on SLRs displays the exact same image that will be captured on the film or film. Most compact cameras also have a viewfinder but these are adjacent to the lens and so you don’t see the exact image that will be captured.
