technical characteristics for a spotting scope
From a list of technical characteristics for a spotting scope with incorporated digital camera (with a flip-up LCD screen):
- Technologie XXX pour alterner observation à travers l’oculaire et à l’écran
(The full list is:
"Zoom 15-45 x (grossissement de l’appareil photo de 22x)
Lentille de l’objectif de 70 mm
Pupille de sortie (mm) : 4,6 à 15x / 1,5 à 45x
Résolution de 5 mégapixels
Technologie XXX pour alterner observation à travers l’oculaire et à l’écran
Optiques traitées multicouches
Ecran LCD rabattable 2,5 ‘’/6,4 cm
Zoom numérique 4x
Emplacement pour carte SD (4Go max, non-fournie)
Port USB
Trépied compact, câble déclencheur à distance et étui de transport souple fournis")
So far I have come up with
"XXX technology for alternating observation through the eyepiece and on the screen"
but I'm not sure if I have correctly understood the French.
Also, perhaps 'viewfinder' would be better than 'eyepiece'?
Thank you for your suggestions!

I have one of those. You can switch between viewfinder mode and screen mode.

In photography, a viewfinder is what the photographer looks through to compose, and in many cases to focus, the picture. Most viewfinders are separate, and suffer parallax, while the more complex single-lens reflex camera lets the viewfinder use the main optical system. Viewfinders are used in many cameras of different types: still and movie, film, analog and digital.
