viewfinders
Framing device eyepieces
Viewfinders are the optical or electronic devices on cameras that let photographers see what will be captured in an image.
Looking through a viewfinder frames the shot and helps compose the scene before pressing the shutter: She squinted through the viewfinder to check the composition.
Digital cameras often supplement or replace traditional viewfinders with LCD screens.
