In both modes, you can zoom in x5 and x10 to magnify a small, high contrast region of the image to fine tune the focus.

WARNING: How the 40D and 450D implements these functions could be different so remember, I am talking about the 40D here, and the screen dumps below are from the 40D.

There was a post on the Images Plus Yahoo Group the other day about how mirror lock up is implemented differently on the 450D compared to the 40D, so there are differences.

Cheers

Interesting .... maybe I can do without the optional precision focusing screen and the angle C finder (focusing microscope) .... I'm new to DSLRs and still think in 35mm SLR mode.
