Editing Viewfinder (section)

== Mechanical finders ==
Later referred to as "sports finders", for many sports and newspaper applications optical viewfinders gave too small an image and were inconvenient to use for scenes that were changing rapidly. For these purposes a simple arrangement of two wire rectangles, a smaller one nearer the eye{{cn|date=August 2024}} and a larger one further away, was used, without optics; the two rectangles were aligned so the smaller one was centered in the larger, and the larger rectangle would give an indication of what would be included. Cameras with sportsfinders usually had optical viewfinders also.
