The LCD
With the XS/1000D, the 2.5-inch LCD not

tings, and menus, but it also provides a con-
tinuous view of the scene during Live View
shooting.
Viewfi nder display
The XS/1000D has a Pentamirror viewfi nder
with a precision-matte focusing screen. The
viewfi nder displays approximately 95 per-
cent of the scene that the sensor captures.
In addition, the viewfi nder displays the
seven AF points, as well as information at
the bottom that displays the shutter speed
and aperture settings, the Exposure Level
indicator, exposure and fl ash exposure com-
pensation settings, a focus confi rmation
light, and other settings, depending on the
functions in use.
Seven AF points are etched into the focusing
screen. When you manually select AF points
by pressing the AF Point Selection/Magnify
button, the AF points are highlighted as you
rotate the Main dial. If the camera automati-
cally selects an AF point, the selected point
displays in red in the viewfi nder when you
press the Shutter button halfway down.
