Canon 100D focusing screen

Photography Asked by Mina Bolis on June 15, 2021

I have a canon 100D/SL1. I was swapping my lens today and when removed the lens I noticed something fell, turns out it’s the focusing screen. However I powered on the camera and took some pictures and it seems to be working fine, maybe a little bit overexposed but nothing terrible.

Do I still need to replace my focusing screen? And if so, what are my options? Found the screen itself on eBay for cheap but couldn’t find anyone that comes with the metal housing.

Edit: Added picture
camera without the focusing screen

focusing screen and it's housing

One Answer

Your focus screen fell out with its' metal carrier ring attached? If that is actually the case then the focus screen cannot be replaced w/o a major service... it will almost certainly be cheaper to replace it buying used.

But I do not see any reason that you could not use it via live-view photography (LCD screen). It sounds like that is how you normally use it anyway.
