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."
