What are the zoom levels of magnification on the 5D Mk II?

Does anyone know what the levels of magnification are and where 100% is on the LCD of the 5D Mk II?

Starting from the thumbnail there are 15 levels but I can't find any documentation indicating where 100% is and what the other levels represent.

I think 100% is one or two clicks before you can't zoom in anymore, but I could be wrong. That's how it seems to me, and how my D700 worked.

Thanks Sam,

I recall that was the case on my D300 as well. I think 8 clicks up was 100% but I was wondering if this is documented or anyone has the definitive answer.

You could take a pic and view it in PS or LR at 100% then crop to about 680x450 , put the card back in the camera and zoom till you get a view similar to the cropped pic in PS.

Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong but the 5D II has an LCD with 920,000 pixels (red, green and blue) so to get the real number divide by 3 and you get 306,666. 680x450=306,000. That's if the screens aspect ratio is exactly 1.5:1 and I'm not positive it is.

Your guess was absolutely correct. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Canon tech support and they couldn't help me or figure it out. I actually had to laugh listening to the tech trying to do all kinds of math and not getting anywhere.

Anyway, I followed your lead and used 678 x 452 with got me very close to the 306,666. It gave me 306,456. I then took the card and viewed the image on the LCD of the camera.

There are a total of 16 views, or 15 levels of magnification from default. 14 levels up (1 less than maximum) matched the image in Photoshop exactly. Thanks.

Cool. Glad it helped. Funny thing is, since I posted that I got a 5D mark II and now I know how where 100% is on the LCD.
