IV. DISCUSSION OFNEW AND IMPROVED FEATURES 15
Aswith the EOS-1Ds Mark II, the superimposition display consists of the lead-in compo-nent, integrating the dichroicprisms (SI prism 1 and 2) with the pentaprism and the illu-mination (SI-LED), liquid-crystal(SI-LCD), and the eyepiece lens. Compared with theEOS-1D MarkIII’s dichroic mirror system, the dichroic prism system can have a morecompactlight path in the lead-in component. This contributes to a higher viewfindermagnification. The exceptionallegibility of the viewfinder means it is now a practical option to includeagreatquantity of information in the finder display.SI lens 2
