Changing the Focusing Screen

You can change the camera’s focusing screen to better suit the subject or shooting situation. You must also set C.Fn-00 so that the standard setting for obtaining a correct exposure matches the focusing screen.

•To change the focusing screen, refer to the instructions that came with the focusing screen.

•The Ec-A, Ec-B, Ec-I, and Ec-L focusing screens have a prism at the center. A correct exposure reading cannot be obtained with evaluative metering or spot metering based on the center area where there is a prism. Use centerweighted average metering or off-center spot metering with these focusing screens.
