Electronic level l LCD panel
Viewfinder
The EOS 7D has a viewnder with 100% coverage and 1.0x
magnication – a rst for EOS. This gives photographers an unrivalled
experience when using the viewnder.
The EOS 7D doesn’t have interchangeable focusing screens but
instead deploys a Transmissive LCD Screen. This LCD screen can
be illuminated in low light and enables several new views to be
superimposed such as Single AF points, Spot AF points, AF Area, AF
Zones, Spot metering circle and a Grid display.
Viewnder information includes a battery indicator, and extended
exposure compensation meter that shows +/-3 stops - arrows
have been included to indicate when the exposure compensation
is set off of the scale as the 7D has up to +/-5 stops of exposure
compensation.
Dual Axis Electronic Level
The EOS 7D is the rst EOS camera to feature a Dual Axis Electronic
Level that is capable of indicating both pitch and roll angle. This
is particularly useful for landscape photographers to ensure level
horizons and for photographers shooting with tilt and shift lenses
who need to level the pitch of the camera to ensure that verticals are
captured vertically.
LCD panel
The 3.0” VGA Clear view II LCD monitor has 920,000 dots, a viewing
angle of 160°, and an all-new, more advanced construction. To
combat glare, the air-gap between the LCD’s protective cover and
the liquid crystal has been lled with an elastic optical material.
This is designed to remove the cause of reections and helps
photographers to view the panel from tight angles and in bright
weather conditions.
