Canon 4000D LCD and Viewfinder

Canon 4000D has a Fixed Type 2.70-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 230k dots. At only 2.70", the screen is on the smaller side and 230kdot resolution is lower than most of the recent models in this class.

Unfortunately Canon EOS 4000D doesn't have a Selfie friendly screen. If this feature is important for your shooting style, check here the list of Best DSLR Cameras with Selfie Friendly LCD screen.

4000D has a built-in Optical (pentamirror) viewfinder, making it easier to shoot in direct sunlight and in other situations where it might be difficult to view the LCD monitor. The viewfinder has a coverage of 95%. 95% coverage means that what you see in your viewfinder while shooting will slightly be different from the actual image.

Canon 4000D Connectivity, Storage and Battery

Canon 4000D features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11b/g/n) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection.

You can connect 4000D to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.

Canon 4000D Battery

Canon 4000D is powered by LP-E10 battery which provides a battery life of 500 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of DSLR type cameras is 943 shots, Canon 4000D has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend 4000D owners to invest in some extra batteries.
