3 Custom Function Settings C.Fn5: Display/Operation Focusing Screen C.Fn5 You can change the focusing screen with an Ec-series focusing screen (sold separately) more suited for the techniques in the photography. If you change the focusing screen, make sure to change this setting to match the focusing screen type. This is to obtain a correct exposure. Std.: Ec-C6 Standard focusing screen. : Ec-A, B, L For Laser-matte screens. Since the Ec-A/B/L focusing screens have a prism at the center, correct exposures cannot be obtained with evaluative metering and spot metering at the center. Use either center-weighted average metering or AF point-linked spot metering (except for at the center). Since the Ec-A/B/L focusing screens have a prism in the center, AF based on color or facial information may not be achieved if the subject is near the center of the viewfinder, even if [24: Auto AF pt sel.: EOS iTR AF] is set to [EOS iTR AF (Face priority)] or [EOS iTR AF] (p.127). Although an Ec-C/CII/CIII/CIV/CV/D/H/I/N/R/S focusing screen can be installed in the camera, the correct exposure will not be obtained. Use a commercially-available light meter to shoot with manual exposure or exposure compensation. If [Ec-A, B, L] is set, the spot metering circle will not be displayed at the viewfinder center. The Area AF frame displayed on the Ec-CIII/CIV/N/S focusing screens does not match this camera's AF Area. The focusing screen setting will not be cleared even if you select [88: Clear all Custom Func. (C.Fn) ]. To change the focusing screen, refer to the Instruction Manual of the focusing screen. 435
