Viewfinder display

• RepairSurge Auto Repair Software

On the Rebel XSi/450D, the optical, high magnification viewfinder displays approximately 95 percent of the scene that the sensor captures. In addition, the viewfinder displays the AF points, a four-percent Spot metering circle that is etched into the center of the viewfinder, as well as information at the bottom that displays the shutter speed and aperture settings, the Exposure Level meter, space remaining on the card, the

current image number, a focus confirmation light, and other settings depending on the functions in use.

AF points are etched in the focusing screen. When you manually select AF points by pressing the AF-point selection/Magnify button, the AF points are highlighted as you rotate the Main dial. If the camera automatically selects an AF point, the selected point displays in red on the focusing screen when you press the Shutter button halfway down.

To ensure that the viewfinder image and focusing screen elements are adjusted for your vision, you can adjust the diopter setting from -3 to +1 dpt. Simply turn the diopter switch — located to the right of the viewfinder eyecup —up or down until the image in the viewfinder is sharp. If you wear eyeglasses during shooting, be sure to wear them as you set the dioptric adjustment. To set the dioptric adjustment, focus the lens by pressing the Shutter button halfway, and then turn the knob until the image in the viewfinder is sharp.
