The AF point is displayed only when Menu[AF point] > [Display] is set. When an image shot in RAW + JPEG mode is played back,the JPEG image size is displayed.The camera setting display now has the Picture Style setting and WFT-E1A image transferfailure indicator, neither of which appears on the EOS 20D and the latter is new to EOSDSLRs. Conversely, absent on the EOS 30D’s display are the AEB setting, processingparameters and image confirmation time, all of which were found on the EOS 20D’sdisplay. Additional information on the EOS 30D screen includes: Date/time, Color space,WB correction amount, WB-BKT setting, Auto power-off, Auto rotate, Flash exposurecompensation amount, Color temperature value, CF card space remaining and ISO speed.In the Basic Zone modes, items that cannot be set will not be displayed.

The Jump button takes the user to the topitem in each category (Shooting, Playback and Setup,color-coded red, blue and yellow, respectively). Any of 15languages can be selected for the LCD monitor. The GUI’sbasic design is the same as the EOS 5D’s.The following menu functions are new: Transfer order, AF points [Not display/Display]and Histogram [Brightness/RGB]. If AF points are set to [Display], the AF focus pointsappear over the image on the upper left of the screen in the Single-image display modewith Shooting information. The histogram has been improved to have a choice between[Brightness] and [RGB] displays in the manner of the EOS-1D series cameras. Brightness/RGB appears on the upper right of the screen in the Single-image display mode withShooting information.Vertical images can also be set to rotate automatically so that they are displayed uprighton the camera’s LCD monitor and/or on a computer screen. The three options are: autorotate for both camera and computer (with compatible applications), rotate for computeronly (not rotated on the camera, a feature new to EOS DSLRs) and auto rotate off completely.
