A large, 2.5-inch LCD monitor makes it easy to compose and review your shots. In recording mode, the screen displays detailed information about current settings and exposure values in large, easy-to-read type, and automatically switches to a vertical-format display when you rotate the camera for vertical shooting. Versatile display functions include a multi-frame File Browser that allows you to quickly scan through stored images, and a new interface layout that makes it easy to navigate the menus and select advanced settings. In addition, the monitor screen is protected by a hard, scratch-resistant coating, and turns off automatically to conserve battery power when you put your eye to viewfinder.

The DYNAX 5D / MAXXUM 5D packs powerful SLR performance into an extremely compact body for high mobility and quick, responsive handling. The ergonomically designed grip also enhances stability and security when shooting.
These ready-made solutions make it easy to obtain optimum results in a wide range of shooting situations. Instead of fumbling with various settings individually, you can simply set the mode dial on the top of the camera to the Digital Subject Program that matches the scene you're shooting. When you choose Night Portrait mode, for example, the camera automatically applies a combination of settings to ensure that people in the foreground and lights in the background are both correctly exposed.
An intuitive control layout adds to the DYNAX 5D / MAXXUM 5D's outstanding ease of use. Large, clearly labeled dials make it easy to select exposure and white balance modes. In addition, the exposure-compensation, AE lock, and function buttons are conveniently positioned for easy operation.
The viewfinder offers a bright, clear view of your subject, and features a spherical acute matte focusing screen that makes it exceptionally easy to confirm focus.
