The Camera Menus - Canon EOS 6D Digital Field Manual

Looking through the viewfi nder during shooting allows you to verify whether camera
settings are as you want or if they need to be changed. In addition, you are alerted
when any exposure element you have chosen is beyond the exposure capability of the
light in the scene.
The 6D has interchangeable focusing screens inside the camera body. If you change
the focusing screen that's installed in the camera, be sure to select the corresponding
custom function setting for the new focusing screen being used. Do this using Custom
function C.FnIII, menu 2 - Operation/Others, Focusing Screen. The options are
Standard Precision Matte, Precision Matte with Grid, and Super Precision Matte.
