IV. CONTROLS AND DISPLAY 12High PerformanceLCD ScreenLarge, Bright ViewfinderWith InterchangeableFocusing ScreensThe EOS 5D camera has a 2.5 inchpolysilicon TFT LCD screen withapproximately 230,000 pixels. It has anexceptionally wide viewing angle of 170degrees, and the display area is doublethat of the EOS 20D’s 1.8 inch screen.Previous LCD screens had a narrow verticalviewing angle. Picture brightness was lostif it was viewed from even a slight vertical angle and image review involved someuncertainty. The new screen maintains the same brightness from almost any viewingangle. Brightness is adjustable in five levels with the menu item [LCD brightness].The backlight uses six LED modules that illuminate the large monitor evenly. Bycomparison, the 20D model’s 1.8 inch screen uses three LED modules.Along with the larger screen, the menu text is also larger and easier to read. The full-featured INFO screen includes file sizes, RGB histogram and AF frame displays. Inaddition, Quick Review images are now enlargeable.The viewfinder optics of the EOS 5D camera are newlydeveloped. They provide 96% vertical and horizontalcoverage with .71X magnification, a 20mm eyepoint and–3 to +1 dpt dioptric adjustment. The result is a largeand bright view that is very much like that of theEOS-1Ds Mark II (100% view, .7x magnification, 20mmeyepoint, same range of dioptric adjustment).Also like the EOS-1Ds Mark II, the EOS 5D features interchangeable focusing screens.The standard screen is the Ee-A, designed to work with all EF lenses down to f/5.6IV.
