The EOS 5D Mark III is designed to behave like an
extension of your eye. A clear, bright viewfinder helps
you engage with your subject, and in-camera workflow
and editing functions make life easier.
Intelligent viewfinder technology
The EOS 5D Mark III’s Intelligent Viewfinder
offers approximately 100 per cent coverage
and 0.73x magnification. Focusing
information is overlaid using a transparent
LCD screen, which is illuminated in low light.
The active AF point (or group of AF points)
is shown in the viewfinder, when focus is
achieved the AF points used are illuminated.
An information display at the bottom of
the screen shows exposure information, as
well as shooting mode, ISO sensitivity and
battery status.
Clear View II technology
On the rear of the camera an 8.11cm
1,040,000-dot Clear View II LCD screen
is used for accessing menu commands,
reviewing images and Live View
composition during still-image and
movie shooting.
A viewing angle of approximately 170°
ensures accurate colours no matter how you
look at the camera. Reflections are reduced,
thanks to an optical polymer which fills the
space between the screen and the reinforced
glass cover which protects it.
Dual Axis Electronic Level
Helping keeping horizons straight, an
electronic spirit level can be displayed
both in the viewfinder and on the Clear
View II LCD screen during Live View and
movie recording. It is accurate over ±360°
horizontally and ±10° vertically, in 1°
increments.
