erm .. guys wanna know something about focusing screen whats is it actually? can actually change the focusing screen for better AF or other features or not much?

I think you might mean focusing point. It's for better photo composition IMO

focusing screen is a screen that is placed above the mirror and below the OVF, effectively right in between the mirror and OVF.

one of them is a type of split screen, its purpose is used mainly in manual focusing, where there is usually a split screen, u turn the focusing ring until the image on both sides of the screen lines up and is in focus. u can see this mostly in older day slrs where AF capable lenses and bodies are still very young.

so far, i know of sony provided focusing screens are G, L and M types

I see because just looking some thread saying those old film SLR like K-3 focusing screen install on the DSLR will improve the focus accuracy but I'm not is true or not, now I get it.

hmm so is only useful for MF? AF don't have any effects?

zstan: The A700/A850/A900 vertical grips have almost all the settings.

wingster: You won't get better AF with a different viewfinder. You'll get a different MF experience, though. However MF Check LV means it does not matter what viewfinder screen you are using!
