Canon EOS D60 User Manual

State of the art digital single lens reflex (SLR) technology is

now within reach: the Canon EOS D60 is our latest addition

to the EOS range. It features an amazing 6.3 megapixel CMOS

sensor, guaranteeing superb image quality. Before starting the

actual design process of the EOS D60 we spoke to professional

and advanced users of Canon’s first digital SLR, the EOS D30.

After listening to their ideas and suggestions, key features of

the EOS D30 like the continuous shooting speed of approx.

3 fps and the maximum burst of 8 shots have been maintained

in the EOS D60. The new superimposed LED display for

AF functions and the illumination of the LCD panel are but a

few of the other user suggested features that we incorporated

into the EOS D60. The final result is a camera that represents

the ultimate in high-end digital photography.

YOU CAN HAVE SUPERB IMAGE QUALITY

At the heart of the EOS D60 lies the newly developed CMOS

sensor. 6.3 million effective pixels provide an image

quality that is hard to beat. The low-pass filter configuration

has been modified to countermeasure red ghost outline

that can occur in digital cameras. The firmware has also

been completely revamped resulting in a considerably

shorter shutter-release time lag and a quicker startup from

power off. But not only the inside has been upgraded,

the black outer case with metallic accents gives the camera

an extra touch of class.

YOU CAN HAVE TOTAL CONTROL

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE

The EOS D60’s full-frame viewfinder contains a new super-

imposed display as found in some of the higher-end

EOS analogue SLR cameras. The partial metering circle and the

illuminated AF points are now both visible in the viewfinder.

As is information on shutter speed, aperture, maximum

burst during continuous shooting, CF card information,

exposure level, flash information and autofocus confirmation.

More information and custom settings can be found on the

full colour illuminated LCD, which also allows you to zoom

in on your images. The EOS D60 features six different JPEG

compression storage modes as well as a RAW image storage

possibility for advanced image manipulation.

YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR OPTIONS

The shooting options on the EOS D60 are vast. Ranging

from fully automatic mode to total manual control.

Semi-automatic modes like portrait, landscape, close-up,

sports and night scenes are available as well as the more

advanced program AE, aperture priority AE, shutter priority

AE, and depth-of-field priority AE modes.
