Viewfinder - Canon EOS D60 Service Manual

1.4 Viewfinder

1) Viewfinder optics
The configuration and specifications (0.88×
viewfinder magnification, 95% picture coverage,
20mm eye relief) are the same as the EOS D30's
viewfinder. Note that although the focusing screen is
the same New Laser Matte type, the dispersion
characteristics have been improved to make it easier
to discern the focus point during manual focusing.
2) SI (Superimpose) display optics
The SI display optics for the AF points include
three small SI-LEDs (1.9 dia) in front of the
pentaprism. The light from the SI-LEDs passes
through SI prisms 1 and 2 and the main mirror
before reaching the AF points on the focusing
screen. The SI display brightness is about the same
as the EOS ELAN 7/7E, 30/33's.
3) Dioptric correction mechanism
It is the same as the EOS D30.
4) Viewfinder information display
Compared to the EOS D30's information display,
the EOS D60 provides more information with the
following four new information displays at the
bottom of the viewfinder:
(1) SI display
The display and AF point selection method are
the same as with the EOS ELAN II/ELAN II E,
50/50E.
(2) Flash exposure compensation icon
Lights when flash exposure compensation has
been set with the built-in flash or external
Speedlite.
(3) Maximum burst during continuous shooting
During continuous shooting, the current
maximum burst is displayed from 0 to 8
according to the amount of available buffer
memory. Regardless of the drive mode, the
maximum burst decreases with each shot taken.
(As with the EOS D30, while the shutter button
is fully depressed during continuous shooting,
the viewfinder information is not displayed. The
maximum burst thus cannot be known.) When
the captured images are saved on the CF card
and more buffer memory becomes available, the
