About focusing screen characteristics

Eg-A II: Standard Precision Matte

Standard focusing screen that comes with the camera. It provides both adequate viewfinder brightness and manual focusing ease.

Eg-D : Precision Matte with Grid

The focusing screen has grid lines. It helps to keep the picture horizontal or vertical.

Eg-S : Super Precision Matte

Makes it easier to see the perfect focus than with the Eg-A II. Convenient if you often focus manually.

Although the Eg-A focusing screen can be installed in this camera, it will not obtain the correct exposure.

Maximum Lens Aperture with Super Precision Matte Eg-S Optimum for lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger.

If you use a lens whose maximum aperture is smaller than f/2.8, the viewfinder will look darker than with the Eg-A II focusing screen.

This setting will be retained even if you select [8: Clear all Custom Func. (C.Fn)].

Since this camera’s standard focusing screen is Eg-A II, C.Fn III -2-0 is set upon factory shipment.

For details on changing the focusing screen, refer to the focusing screen’s instruction manual. If the focusing screen does not come down together with the holder, tilt the camera toward you.
