Basic Operation Concept And Lcd Monitor Display - Canon EOS 40D Service Manual

1.10 Basic operation concept and LCD monitor display
As much as possible, the operation method, screen design, and specifications were kept the
same as with the EOS-1D Mark III.
１）Basic operation concept
While based on the EOS 30D's basic operation concept, the camera has a few
improvements to make it easier to use. The shooting buttons above the LCD panel have
been reassigned, an AF Start button (AF-ON) is provided as with the EOS-1D Mark III, and
the Picture Style selection button is new.
２）LCD monitor same as EOS-1D Mark III's
The 3-inch LCD monitor is the same as the EOS-1D Mark III's with approx. 230,000
pixels, wide viewing angle, bright screen, and low power consumption. The color
reproduction range and gamma are also the same as the EOS-1D Mark III's LCD monitor.
The color reproduction is thereby improved and natural-looking images are displayed.
３）Menu features
The screen design (Fig. 028) and basic menu operations are the same as the EOS-1D
Mark III. (The menu options are different.) With the EOS-1D Mark III, menu operations with
the Multi-controller were limited to the top menu hierarchy. With the EOS 40D, you can
now use the Multi-controller for all menu operations except "Erase images and Format."
