Replacing the Focusing Screen on the Canon EOS 20D Digital SLR Camera.Pdf

PDF Preview :

This PDF gives step by step instructions for replacing the focusing screen on the
Canon EOS 20D digital SLR camera, with some illustrations.

INTRODUCTION

The focusing screen on the Canon EOS 20D digital SLR camera may be readily
changed in the field. Often this is desired in order to replace the factory screen
with an alternative screen having manual focusing aids, such as a split image prism
and/or a microprism field, or merely to replace a damaged screen.

The details, including the information on determining the proper orientation of the
new screen, are predicated on the installation of a new OEM screen or an “aftermarket” screen closely adhering to the configuration and dimensions of the
OEM screen. If you have a screen for which this is not so, please get the necessary
supplemental information from the manufacturer or distributor.

I understand that with some aftermarket screens, the shim installed at the factory
to properly position the focusing screen must be removed. If you have such a
screen, please get the necessary supplemental information from the manufacturer
or distributor.
