The Maxxum 7000 display system fits perfectly right under the base section of the viewfinder. The location of the LCD has proved to be one of the non-distracting segment inside the viewfinder of the picture frame. This allows the photographer to have a quick access to relevant information without the hassle of checking from the viewfinder. In relation to various exposure modes, the LCD will change in its display accordingly to reflect the mode in use.
