conditions. A large, clear grey scale is provided for guidance. Also, the color reproduction range has been increased and gamma is added to simulate a personal computer monitor. Thus, color reproduction is improved to make the images look more natural. LCD Viewing Angle Vertical Viewing Angle Horizontal Viewing Angle The number of dots comprising a character is the same as with the EOS 5D for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Mandarin, and Korean. For other languages, the number of dots for a character is the same as with the EOS-1D Mark II N. However, the larger 3.0-in. LCD monitor makes the character's display size bigger, making it easier to read. EOS-1D Mark III (3.0 inch) EOS-1D Mark II N (2.5 inch) Viewfinder The viewfinder design is entirely new and is now easier to see, clearer, and sharper. The viewfinder has approximately 100% coverage, 0.76x magnification, a 30° angle of view, a 20mm eyepoint, -3 to 1 dpt. dioptric adjustment, and an eyepiece shutter which is now gray to make it easier to see when it is closed. By comparison, the EOS-1D Mark II N has approximately 0.72x magnification and a 28.2° angle of view.

The same highly refractive material found in the EOS-1D Mark II N is used for the pentaprism of the EOS-1D Mark III. To improve viewfinder magnification, a larger pentaprism is employed. The basic configuration of the eyepiece optics is the same as with the 1D Mark II N, with 4 lens elements. However, by increasing lens power, high magnification is attained. To improve lens sensitivity for higher magnification, the mechanical parts configuration is of higher precision. IX. CONTROLS AND DISPLAY 42
