LCD/EVF Live View displays

The X-E1’s rear LCD and electronic viewfinder share the same display modes and basic settings. The rear LCD also displays a "state panel", which is useful when shooting with the optical viewfinder as well as a way of testing the settings with just a glance.

In the P, A and S exposure modes, the initial display tries to preview your exposure settings to give an idea of how light or dark the image will become, in M mode, the preview image is always shown at a standardized brightness. When you half-press the shutter button, the lens always stops down the selected aperture to preview the image depth, which can result in a noisy image that can be seen in the EVF, especially in low light. The viewfinder re-established rate also decreases noticeably when the bright levels drop down, so while the motion is rendered very smoothly in daylight, under artificial light at night it can appear definitely jerky.

This is the simplest viewing angle with the only most basic exposure information displayed.

You can switch to a more detailed viewing angle by using the DISP button. As with the OVF display, the amount of information displayed here is fully customizable.

In the P, A and S modes, the camera diversifies the brightness of the direct display in an effort to match the final exposure, which is reflected by ranking directly.

However in M mode, the preview image is displayed at a fixed brightness, which means that ranking directly is positively possible to cause misunderstanding.

In EVF or LCD viewing modes, the selection of focus point expands to a 7x7 grid, which covers most of the frame.

You also can change the size of the AF operating region by using the rear rotating button, with five options available.

In the manual focus mode, you can select the rear rotating button to have a magnified vision, which allows accurate focusing. Rotating the button lets you choose between 3x and 10x zoom.

There is a third option on the rear LCD screen, the status display to check your settings, which is useful when shooting with the eye level of viewfinder. However, it only displays the icons when they are changed from the default.

Playback displays

The X-E1 can play back images on the rear LCD or using the EVF. Both cases almost have the equal vision, so here we’re presenting the rear versions of LCD.

The “information off" playback display is actually very simple, with a plain black bar below the image, where the basic exposure information should really be there.

The "information open" viewing angle supplements a full array of detailed exposure information, which is placed on top of the image nearly the same position as it is currently appeared in directly viewing.

The "Favorites" viewing angle allows you to assess your images from 0 to 5 stars, and you can then use this assessment to find and select your images.

The Histogram viewing angle only has brightness – there is no option to display an RGB version. Blown highlights are expressed as flashing white / black blinkies. The camera slows down a bit.

Unusually, pressing the Up key provides this alternative coating of image information (in any display modes except Favorites.)

Finally, another press shows the location of the focus point, but oddly you cannot click-in to check focus at this interface. If the image was captured using manual focus, the green plus sign Kas will disappear, at this point this display appears to be identical to the 'Information Off' interface (while behaving totally differently)

Pressing the thumb dial zooms to get your selected focus point. You can scroll around the image using the four-way controller, and zoom out and in using the zooming buttons on the left side of the camera. Although the maximum zoom is not too high, only about 6x, and only after shooting the large JPEGs.

After a few seconds, the magnification scale and navigation icon disappear to offer this neat display.

But strangely, when enlarging portrait format images to check focus, the magnified area is still in a portrait-format box, neatly wasting half of the screen.
