Basic Operation Concepts
While it is grounded in the EOS 30D's basic operation concepts, the EOS 40D has
improvements that 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. As much as possible, though, the operation
method, screen design, and specifications were kept the same as those of the EOS-1D Mark III.
Shooting functions are now assigned to 3 buttons above the
Layout of Shooting Buttons
LCD panel. Through these buttons, the most frequently-
changed settings are now accessible near the Main Dial. As
with the EOS-1D Mark III, one uses the Main Dial to change
ISO speed, AF mode, and metering mode. The Quick Control
Dial is used to change flash exposure compensation, drive
mode, and white balance. The menu operation method is also now the same as with the
EOS-1D Mark III. Canon is making camera operation methods as uniform as possible
throughout their professional and advanced amateur ranges.
The new interchangeable focusing screens, 2-sec. self-timer, sRAW file format, My Menu,
camera setting registration, Live View Function, 3.0-in. LCD monitor with wider color
gamut and enhanced information display (ISO always displayed, LCD monitor also used
to display settings of shooting functions) all make the EOS 40D easier to use, more flexible
and more controllable in an unlimited range of conditions and circumstances.
Camera Setting Display
The EOS 40D has a shooting function setting
Shooting Function Setting
display on the LCD monitor. Setting details
can be verified in the large text display. This
feature is also effective when the upper display
panel is difficult to see, such as when it is in
an elevated position during tripod use.
