Exclusive Eye Controlled Focus

Featured on the EOS ELAN 7 NE SLR, Canon’s

exclusive Eye Controlled Focus adds an extra

dimension to the photographer-camera interface.

When activated, Eye Controlled Focus enables

the camera to respond to your eye movement,

automatically selecting the best AF point based

on where in the frame you are looking.

taneously. Other models offer an eye-controlled

focus point selection. Some EOS SLR cameras

additionally provide the AI Focus AF mode, which

automatically switches between One Shot and

AI-Servo AF modes based on subject movement—

ideal for shooting stop-and-go subjects. No matter

which camera, or which mode chosen, Canon’s

EOS autofocus is fast, reliable, and versatile.

High-Speed Response

The high-speed microcomputers in EOS SLR cam-

eras use advanced algorithms that ensure the

fastest, most accurate AF performance under the

widest variety of conditions. The One-Shot AF mode

is ideal for more static subjects. The camera rapidly

selects the optimum focusing point, and the sub-

ject is instantly brought into focus even if it is

off-center. The AI Servo AF mode is excellent for

moving subjects. Aided by a highly “intelligent”

predictive focusing algorithm, it precisely tracks

subject movement across the wide AF coverage

area, automatically shifting the active focusing

point as required, even at shooting speeds of up

to 10 fps. Even with erratic or rapid subject move-

ment, the photographer can shoot continuously,

concentrating solely on image composition.

Unparalleled Exposure Control

Canon EOS SLR cameras incorporate uniquely

advanced exposure control systems, offering the

photographer exceptionally precise AE (auto expo-

sure) with the widest range of metering options.

You can choose full-frame Evaluative Metering,

where the EOS SLR camera’s proven 21-zone,

35-zone or 63-zone sensor is used in conjunction

with specific focusing point data. The onboard

microcomputer compares input from all zones and

calculates optimum exposure using a sophisticated

program. While Evaluative Metering assures excel-

lent results in even the most challenging lighting

situations, advanced photographers can choose

from among several additional metering options.

Center-weighted metering is available for those

who prefer a more traditional pattern. Partial

metering limits readings to sensor zones in the

center of the image area, giving the photographer

more area-specific control. Spot readings can be

taken at the center of the frame area or linked to an

AF point. You can even take up to eight separate

spot meter readings with high-end EOS cameras,

63-zone Metering System — Canon’s sophisticated 63-zone

evaluative metering system considers not only the active

focusing point but also a range of metered values from adjacent

areas to determine correct exposure even in difficult lighting.

metering sensor to take the guesswork out of flash

photography. The camera performs instantaneous

calculations based on readings from the preflash,

ambient lighting conditions, and assessment of

subject location to determine the optimum flash

output and exposure settings. With E-TTL II, the

calculations additionally incorporate distance

information from compatible EF lenses, enabling

the system to better handle dark, light and highly

reflective subjects. Your photographs will have

the perfect balance between ambient light and

flash illumination, even in complicated lighting

situations and compositions.

The history of Canon EOS SLR cameras is replete with examples of technological

innovations that have set new industry standards for performance and usability. And

yet, at Canon, technology is never an end in itself. Every technological advance must

yield tangible benefits to the user. Does a new feature enable the camera to more quickly

and faithfully respond to the photographer’s will? Does a new material or process

improve the camera’s long-term reliability? Canon EOS advancements endure (and

are often imitated) because they enhance the photo-

graphic experience, whether you are a seasoned

professional or new to SLR shooting. Put simply,

Canon EOS SLR technologies are impressive

because of the quality of the images they

enable you to create.

Autofocus Technology

An autofocus system with multiple focusing points

is preferable to one with a single central point, but

for a multi-point AF system to be truly useful, it

must be sophisticated enough to select the correct

focusing point for any given image. Canon EOS SLR

cameras have consistently featured leading-edge

AF technologies. Today, the

top EOS SLR cameras use

an extraordinary 45-point

high-density Area AF sys-

tem that provides not only the industry’s largest

AF coverage area, but also the greatest range of

control over focusing point selection. The focusing

point can be selected automatically by the camera

(based on high-speed microcomputer analysis

of image content) or manually by the user. With

Canon’s flagship EOS-1Ds Mark III, users

can select from 19 high precision, cross-

type AF points which are complemented

by 26 contrast light analyzing Assist

High-Speed Shooting

EOS Digital SLR cameras have always been asso-

ciated with speedy operation. Canon’s EOS-1D

Mark III is the fastest DSLR* in the world, offering

10 frames-per-second continuous shooting, up to

30 RAW files or 110 full-resolution JPEGs. Other

aspects of the camera’s responsiveness have been

improved as well: the 1D Mark III has a minimum

Flexible Shooting Modes

Most EOS models with the Mode

Dial let photographers select

from a variety of preprogrammed

shooting modes, making it easy for even novice

shooters to get professional-looking results. When

you want the camera to make all the decisions

for you, choose one of the Image Zone shooting

modes. For greater control over camera settings,

including full manual operation, select from the

Creative Zone.

Simultaneous

RAW + JPEG

Recording

Often referred to as

“digital negatives,”

RAW images essentially contain unaltered image

data as captured by the sensor. RAW mode shooting

has the potential to yield the highest image quality

from a digital SLR. In post-processing, it’s even

possible to find and extract added highlight and

shadow detail from RAW images. While profes-

sionals and advanced amateurs will often prefer to

shoot in RAW mode, or in Canon’s new sRAW mode

(which saves files to approximately half the size

of a normal RAW), JPEG images take up even less

storage space and are often more immediately

pleasing to the eye, thanks to Canon’s high-per-

formance ³ Image Processors. With Canon’s

EOS Digital SLRs, you can capture images in RAW

or JPEG mode as well as record RAW and JPEG

images simultaneously.

Canon CMOS Sensor

Taking advantage of its own proprietary technolo-

gies, Canon develops and produces its own CMOS

sensors. Unlike CCD sensors, CMOS sensors convert

and amplify signals before they are transferred to

the image processor, enabling them to produce

exceptionally clean image data and reduce power

consumption by as much as 90%. Data transfer

speeds are increased by using multi-channel signal

paths that dramatically improve the camera’s

responsiveness. Canon’s CMOS sensors incorporate

a unique on-chip noise reduction technology to

deal with both fixed pattern and random noise.

In addition, a multilayer low-pass filter is placed

in front of the sensor to isolate false colors that

the sensor may detect. Then, the ³ Image

is virtually the same, thanks to the optimized

photodiode construction and more sophisticated

processing of the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D

Mark III. By optimizing the gap between the on-chip

microlenses and improving the fill factor (photo-

diode area divided by total pixel size) of each pixel,

light-gathering efficiency has been improved.

Extensive ISO Range*

EOS Digital SLR cameras feature an extensive ISO

range for greater flexibility in different photographic

situations. The EOS-1D Mark III features the widest

ISO range found on EOS Digital SLR cameras at ISO

100–3200 with 1/3-stop increments plus ISO 50

(L) and ISO 6400 (H) in extended mode. Even at

higher ISO settings where one might expect to see

a higher degree of noise, Canon’s renowned CMOS

sensor and noise reduction system work to ensure

the highest image quality. The result, EOS Digital

SLR cameras that even the most critical photog-

raphers can use with confidence.

concert with Canon’s CMOS sensors to achieve

even higher levels of performance. Signal process-

ing algorithms work with the multichannel signal

from the sensor and the high-speed DDR-SDRAM

buffer to deliver significantly improved camera

response. Power consumption has been further

reduced for even longer battery life. Color reproduc-

tion and noise reduction in low light situations

have been significantly improved as well.

professional performance with

digital convenience. EOS Digital

SLR cameras with full-frame

sensors, found on the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS 5D,

do not require a focal length conversion factor

common to other digital SLR cameras on the market.

Instead, they deliver the same angle-of-view as

35mm film cameras, so the working distance to

the subject, with a given lens, is the same as it

would be on film. Since you can use EF lenses

on either 35mm film cameras or Canon Digital

SLR cameras with the same results, the switch

from film to digital is truly seamless. Full-frame

sensors provide greater control over depth-of-

field, which helps to create beautiful background

blur, perfect for portraits. The large sensor area

also enables a marked reduction in noise levels

at all ISO values. When combined with high

resolution and smooth gradation from highlights to

shadows, Canon digital SLR cameras with full-frame

sensors produce images that rival those taken with

professional medium-format and large-format film

cameras. Currently, no other camera manufacturer

offers a digital SLR with a full-frame sensor in a

35mm form factor; Canon offers two: the EOS-1Ds

Mark III and the EOS 5D*. For maximum control and

dependable performance, the choice is simple—

Canon full-frame Digital SLR cameras.

Advanced 14-bit A/D Conversion

EOS Digital SLRs employ 14-bit converters to process

the output of the imaging sensor. Compared to

the 12-bit converters used in most digital cameras,

the Canon design ensures smoother tonal tran-

sitions, more natural gradations, and superior color

fidelity. RAW images are recorded at 14 bits so

that processed 16-bit TIFF images contain the full

range of tonal values captured by the sensor.

Effective Light-gathering

The EOS-1Ds Mark III sensor has 21.1 effective

megapixels. Individual pixel size on the EOS-1Ds

Mark III’s sensor is 6.4µm, and the EOS-1D Mark III’s

can be used remotely via a computer through

the camera’s USB connection, or wirelessly if

the optional Wireless File Transmitter is used.

Among digital camera makers, Canon is unique

in its in-house capabilities. Canon’s ability to

rapidly develop and manufacture proprietary

ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits)

eliminates dependence on common “off-the-shelf”

components, and enables the fast deployment of

new, innovative solutions in digital camera design.

Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras thus incorporate

the world’s most advanced sensors, processors,

and other key components—components that

are unavailable to other camera makers. Combined

with Canon’s unequaled electromechanical and

optical design know-how, these digital technologies

make EOS simply the finest digital SLR system

anyone can own.

Standard

This default setting produces vivid, crisp images that look

great immediately and are optimal for printing directly from

the camera without post-processing.

Landscape

Great for shooting nature scenes and blue skies, this setting

enhances the blues and greens typical in landscapes, and

enhances saturation, contrast and sharpening.

EOS Integrated

Cleaning System

Canon has designed its

Integrated Cleaning System with a Self Cleaning

Sensor Unit for select EOS Digital SLR cameras

to combat stray dust that can enter the camera

when changing a lens or when out in the field. The

front surface of the

sensor’s IR-cut/Low-

pass filter

cleans itself

automatically

with ultrasonic

vibrations every time the camera is turned on or

off. Removed dust adheres to material around

the filter to ensure it stays off. With DPP, dust

missed by the cleaning unit is captured by

Canon’s Dust Delete Data Detection and can be

erased from the image file.

Advanced Camera Direct Capabilities

Some Canon Digital SLR cameras give photogra-

phers an unprecedented level of in-camera control

over image optimization with Canon’s advanced

camera direct capabilities. Photographers can

adjust images, using the Face Brightener and

Red-eye Correction functions. With control over

contrast, saturation, color tone, and color balance

levels, high image quality is attainable without

post-production software. Photographerscan

also crop a vertical image to create a horizontal

image or, by simply zooming in on a detail, an

image can be cropped with the in-camera trimming

tool. When connecting a Canon digital printer,

photographers can generate 35-frame contact

sheets and single image or 20-image prints along

with shooting information. Printers like the PIXMA

Pro9000 and Pro9500 Photo Printers are designed

to allow advanced camera direct settings to

override its default settings, so even the finest

image adjustments on Canon EOS Digital SLR

cameras are accurately translated onto prints.

The entire body of the EOS-1D Mark III, including its internal chassis

and mirror box, is made of an advanced magnesium alloy.

cameras, for example, feature bodies made of

coated cast magnesium alloy, which, while light

in weight, deliver outstanding strength, rigidity

and electromagnetic shielding. Furthermore, the

body is extensively gasketed and sealed, making

the cameras exceptionally water and dust-resistant.

These are truly cameras built to take on the world’s

harshest shooting conditions.

Superb Ergonomics and Custom

Functions

Refined ergonomics and smooth operability are

Canon EOS traditions, and even with the

unavoidable complexities involved with digital

capture, Canon’s EOS interface design puts the

most frequently used controls where they make

the most sense—in the hands of the photographer.

Operation is enhanced by custom functions, a

concept pioneered by Canon. Custom functions

enable photographers to tailor features and

operating functions to suit their Canon shooting

style. Whether customizing a shutter speed range,

specifying the parameters of bracketing, or speci-

fying the preferred type of flash metering, to name

a few, photographers have literally hundreds of

choices in how they want their EOS Digital SLR

to operate.

Picture Style

Technology

With the myriad features

and settings available,

even the best photographer might occasionally

have doubts as to whether all of the camera set-

tings are optimal for the shot. Canon’s ingen-

ious Picture Style feature comes to the rescue,

providing a number of user-friendly presets,

including standard, neutral and landscape, giv-

ing the ability to fine-tune the images the cam-

era produces. They enable the photographer to

make optimal choices based simply on the type

of shooting. These presets can be used in much

the same way one would use different types of

film. Individual camera settings—such as sharp-

ening, contrast, color tone, and saturation can

be overridden if need be.

No matter the camera’s specifications, a clear,

bright viewfinder is the photographer’s first

tool for great images. Canon leads the way with

their viewfinders, and has entirely revamped the

viewfinder in the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D

Mark III. Offering 100% viewfinder coverage, and a

larger pentaprism for higher viewfinder mag-

nification, these two cameras offer the best view

of any digital EOS to date. All EOS Digital SLR

cameras offer dioptric correction and a number of

different viewfinder accessories, including up

to 11 different focus screens available for

most any application.

Color Management

At every step of the design and manufacturing

process, Canon ensures that your SLR, lens and

computer will work together seamlessly, resulting

in color that is accurate and pleasing to the eye.

Canon’s proprietary image-rendering processes

utilize numerous data for color rendition. The sensor

captures an even wider gamut of colors than your

computer is capable of displaying, and through

complex operations, the processor ensures that

whether you’re shooting in sRGB for the Web, or in

Adobe RGB color space for commercial applications,

your colors will turn out just right. Advanced users

can set their own white balance, color temperature,

saturation and much more.

Faithful

An excellent choice for shooting

reproductions and still-lifes with

accurate colors, this setting “faith-

fully” reproduces the subjects’

colors without enhancement.

Standard

Monochrome

This setting emulates the color filters of silver halide film for

bold black and white images and allows for red, green and

other types of filter work.
