if it was viewed from even a slight vertical angle and image review involved some uncertainty. The new screen maintains the same brightness from almost any viewing angle. Brightness is adjustable in five levels with the menu item [LCD brightness]. The backlight uses six LED modules that illuminate the large monitor evenly. By comparison, 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. In addition, Quick Review images are now enlargeable.
