Autofocus Technology

The EOS system leads the way in professional AF technology with multi-point AF systems that deliver an ever-increasing combination of accuracy and speed in diverse situations. The newest EOS camera, the EOS-1D X marks a new benchmark in AF technology, with a 61-Point High Density Reticular AF. It has improved tracking, 5 central dual cross-type points (f/2.8 diagonal), 21 central cross-type points (f/5.6 horizontal &

vertical) and 20 outer cross-type points (f/4.0 horizontal), and is remarkably sensitive in low light situations (EV-2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens). It remains stable in adverse conditions, with secondary imaging lenses that use temperature and humidity resistant glass molding.

AF Modes

Canon EOS cameras feature a number of dedicated autofocus modes designed to enhance reliability in specific shooting situations. ONE-SHOT AF mode is ideal for static subjects — the camera rapidly selects the optimum focusing point, and the subject is instantly brought into focus even if it is off-center. 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 vertically and horizontally as required. AI Focus AF mode, in which the camera automatically decides between ONE-SHOT and AI Servo AF modes based on subject movement, is ideal for shooting unpredictable subjects. The AI Servo AF III, found on the EOS-1D X uses new algorithms for even better predictive focus tracking performance when shooting subjects with unpredictable movement. Even difficult, highmagnification subjects, such as a flower in a breeze are captured accurately with a Canon macro lens using these new tracking algorithms.

Leading-Edge AF Technology — a highly advanced 61-Point High Density Reticular AF that delivers exceptional focus accuracy. It provides multi-zone wide area coverage for better tracking and astonishing AF performance in low light.

The EOS-1D X incorporates

High-Speed Shooting

The new AF system found on the EOS-1D X combines fast 16-channel data readout from the camera’s 18.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the processing speed of the Dual ≥ 5+ Image Processors with a speedier shutter and mirror system to raise the performance bar for all digital cameras, all while capturing images full-frame. A new mirror mechanism provides improved AF precision, speed and stability. The main mirror is equipped with two balancers and one bounce-lock mechanism, and the sub-mirror has two balancers and two bounce-lock mechanisms, thus effectively

controlling mirror bounce. This contributes not only to high-speed continuous shooting, but also a stable viewfinder image plus greater AF and AE accuracy.

Enhanced Subject Tracking

Reliable subject identification and tracking features significantly improve a camera’s performance in any number of situations. As seen on the new EOS-1D X, EOS iTR AF can use both face detection and color to track a subject. With acceleration and deceleration tracking, the

EOS-1D X’s AI Servo AF system can adjust response and react to sudden stops and starts, perfect especially for sports and wildlife photography. Specific parameters can be adjusted and refined and saved in the AF menu for later use.

Diverse AF Shooting Options

On the new EOS-1D X, there are 6 AF point selection methods: spot, single point, single point and adjacent 4 points, single point and adjacent 8 points, zone selection and full automatic, plus there’s a dedicated AF configuration tool for control of AI Servo AF tracking parameters. And to manage all of the new shooting options, the EOS-1D X debuts a dedicated AF menu tab, so AF settings are faster and easier to access than ever before.

61-Point High Density Reticular AF

12 fps — Proprietary Canon technologies in the EOS-1D X deliver state-ofthe-art performance: an astounding continuous shooting speed of 12 fps (RAW+JPEG) up to a maximum of 14 fps (JPEG) in Super High Speed Mode at full resolution.

EOS Full HD Video Advantage

Select EOS DSLRs feature 1920 x 1080 Full HD video capture and offer the enhanced image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation necessary in professional movie-making tools. By shooting video with an EOS DSLR, it’s simple to take advantage of the image quality and characteristics intrinsic to DSLRs, resulting in richer, more detailed and more diverse images. The large sensor found in EOS DSLRs means more high quality pixels plus the potential to shoot at higher ISO sensitivities without loss of detail.

EOS Full HD Video

EOS DSLRs increase shooting flexibility for the videographer in that they allow for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, including wide-angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift and fisheye, providing a wealth of focal lengths, depth-of-field and other creative shooting options once reserved for still photography. All Live View AF features can also be used in shooting video, and playback modes are available in-camera, with sound. Combined with their size, image quality and flexibility, EOS DSLRs with Full HD video capture are superlative all-in-one, multimedia image-capturing tools.

Exposure control in the display

Manual Control

For complete creative decision-making on the go, select EOS DSLRs offer flexible manual

controls for their movie modes. Not only can one take advantage of the DSLR’s range of ISO sensitivities, it’s simple to control exposure and depth-of-field, all of which can have a profound effect on the mood of a scene. It’s all as easy as the press of a button. By controlling depth-of-field, it’s simple to create gorgeous background blur. Exposure can be determined and set even in complex lighting situations, maintaining the same look and feel throughout an entire scene, not just the initial shot.

Large CMOS Sensor

With amazing Canon CMOS sensors, video is easy to shoot, and looks better than ever before. Large sensors provide a look and perspective impossible to achieve with traditional video cameras, and the quality must be seen to be believed. Large sensors also capture more light, and can record at high ISO sensitivities with less digital grain and reduced image noise. This enables low-light shooting, without loss of detail, in situations previously impossible without artificial light. Although many devices, even mobile phones, offer HD recording, the quality of video captured by an EOS DSLR and its CMOS sensor is markedly vibrant and truer to life.

Depth-of-field

When shooting a video on an EOS DSLR, it’s simple to control each shot’s depth-of-field, an option previously available only when filming with expensive professional cinema cameras. Thanks to the physical size of EOS DSLR CMOS sensors, combined with the large maximum apertures achieved by Canon lenses, depth-offield, or lack thereof, can be a creative decision reached solely by the photographer. If a large aperture is chosen, thus creating shallow depthof-field, evocative, dramatic moving images with blurred backgrounds can be attained with ease, something simply not possible with smaller sensors or compact cameras. If everything must be in focus, shooting with a small aperture helps ensure phenomenal depth-of-field, for illustrative landscapes, architecture or anything else where all details must be recorded. The drama, beauty and mood achievable by controlling a movie clip’s depth-of-field cannot be overstated — and an EOS DSLR controls it with ease.

Frame Rates

In select models, EOS Full HD video movies can be captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution, for up to 4GB per clip. Movies are saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps). No matter the end-application, the proper resolution and frame rate is easily defined with EOS cameras.

Creative Capabilities with EOS Lenses

From fisheye to super-telephoto, the amazing Canon EF and EF-S lenses offer a stunning combination of sharpness, speed, compactness and flexibility — the perfect complement to a user’s creativity. With the ability to create images of great beauty, with controlled depth-of-field, interchangeable lenses bring moviemaking to a whole new level. And the range of focal lengths is simply staggering. With over 60 lenses available, including the Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM, the world’s first real fisheye zoom lens that functions as a circular fisheye and full-frame fisheye for a full size CMOS sensor, and as a full-frame fisheye for APS-C/H sizes, there’s an EF or EF-S lens for everyone. No matter the photographer, no matter the situation, Canon’s superlative lenses help ensure quality results.

Video Snapshot

With the Video Snapshot feature, found on cameras like the EOS Rebel T3i, short video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) can be stitched together, in-camera, into one video file as a “snapshot album” perfect for sharing online, or displaying to an HDTV directly from the camera.

Sound Recording Level Adjustment

To ensure the best possible recording of sound, a number of EOS DSLRs offer a host of usercontrolled sound recording adjustments. The manual sound recording level can be adjusted to one of 64 levels, and an optional wind filter can minimize unwanted excess sounds. Whether recording through an external microphone (on certain EOS models) or through the camera’s internal mic, this important feature means more audible voices, less unwanted noise, and better overall sound.

Movie Digital Zoom

Movie Digital Zoom, found on models like the EOS Rebel T3i, make it possible to zoom while shooting motion video from 3x to 10x, adding a whole new level of drama to video clips.

Automatic Splitting of Video Files

The FAT file system’s 4GB size limit cannot be changed, but it no longer has to interrupt video capture. With the EOS-1D X, should a video file reach the 4GB limit during shooting, a new file is automatically created, enabling recording to continue without interruption. Sequential files can later be joined in an editor with seamless results.

extraordinary perspective and angle-of-view far beyond the limits of human vision.

Advanced Video Recording Options

Shooting HD video with an EOS DSLR, it’s simple to take advantage of the image quality and characteristics intrinsic to DSLRs, as the large sensor found in EOS DSLRs means more high quality pixels, the potential to shoot at higher ISO sensitivities without loss of detail and full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses with their wealth of focal lengths, depth-of-field and other creative shooting features. Most EOS DSLRs feature 1920 x 1080 Full HD video capture, delivering professional frame rates, adaptive exposure tools and phenomenal image quality. The new EOS-1D X offers users a choice between All-I and IPB compression and supports High Profile under the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC standard, combining high image quality with high coding efficiency and producing files that are well suited for transmission or broadcast. It automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT limitation) without interruption and offers the option of timecoding at all times (Free Run) or only during recording (Rec Run), useful for multicamera shots. It also features improved sound recording adjustment capabilities, offering 64-step volume control accessible through the quick settings screen during video shooting. New sensor technology in the EOS-1D X significantly increases image quality, reducing color artifacts and moire.

Wide-angle lenses are perfect for shooting in tight spaces or to capture large expanses.

Tilt-shift lenses allow you to control the area of focus.

Canon CMOS Sensor

Taking advantage of its own proprietary technologies, 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

APS-C (1.6x)

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, Canon’s own ≥ Image Processor processes the image to help eliminate those colors while retaining full detail. CMOS sensors can also be fabricated to full-frame 35mm dimensions, an important consideration for photographers who wish to use their lenses without a conversion factor. Canon’s CMOS sensors deliver outstanding resolution and signal purity, making them ideal for the most critical photo or video applications.

Full-Frame Canon CMOS Sensor

The Canon-manufactured full-frame CMOS sensor delivers professional performance with digital convenience. EOS DSLR cameras with full-frame sensors, found on the

EOS-1D X Full-Frame CMOS Sensor (actual size)

EOS-1D X, EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS 5D Mark II, 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 DSLR cameras with the same results, the switch from film to digital is truly seamless. Full-frame sensors provide greater control over depth-offield, which helps to create beautiful background blur, perfect for portraits. The large sensor area also helps to enable a marked reduction in noise levels at all ISO values. When combined with high resolution and smooth gradation from highlights to shadows, Canon DSLR cameras with full-frame sensors produce images that rival

EOS SLR cameras feature an extensive ISO range for greater flexibility in diverse photographic situations. The EOS-1D X features the breathtaking ISO range of ISO 100-51200 (L: 50, H1: 102400, H2: 204800)!

*Standard output sensitivity. Recommended exposure index.

Even at higher ISO settings where one might expect to see a higher degree of noise, the renowned Canon CMOS sensor and noise reduction system work to ensure superb image quality. Accordingly, even the most critical photographers can use EOS SLR cameras with confidence, no matter the light.

Advanced 14-bit A/D Conversion

EOS DSLR cameras 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 helps ensure smoother tonal transitions, more natural gradations, and superb 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.

Lens Aberration Correction

With the new EOS-1D X and its Dual ≥ processors, chromatic aberration in Canon lenses can be corrected at the time of shooting. Select EOS cameras can read the correction data from lenses, and those lenses can be registered to the camera. The EOS-1D X can even distinguish between different lenses of the same model by supporting registration of serial numbers (with compatible EF lenses).

Highlight Tone Priority

Loss of highlight detail is one of the greatest concerns for photographers shooting digitally in brightly lit and contrasty situations. Canon’s

account the lens in use, this feature automatically brightens the light level at the four corners of the composition where light falloff may have occurred. Peripheral illumination characteristics and correction data are detected automatically on a number of Canon lenses and can be entered manually through Canon’s EOS utility software. This function can be applied when shooting to JPEG images, and in post-processing with RAW images.

Auto Lighting Optimizer

One of Canon’s newest technologies, the Auto Lighting Optimizer, automatically corrects image exposure to help ensure accurate brightness and contrast. It can actually brighten areas of the composition while maintaining highlight details and accurate exposure in others, or darken areas of composition while maintaining brightness and shadow details in others. This remarkable feature is available as both an automatic feature in Full Auto and Creative Auto shooting modes, and can be used and fine-tuned in other modes. The Canon Auto Lighting Optimizer ensures beautifully exposed images that require little to no postproduction work.

exceptionally precise AE (auto exposure) with a wide range of metering options. Full-frame evaluative metering incorporates the camera’s multi-zone sensor reading with specific focusing point data. The onboard microcomputer compares input from all zones and calculates optimum exposure. While evaluative metering helps to assure excellent 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, with some models, linked to an AF point. With certain EOS cameras, up to eight separate spot meter readings can be recorded and averaged. For cameras like the EOS 60D, Canon developed the iFCL (intelligent Focus Color Luminance) 63-zone dual-layer metering system to incorporate the color wavelength surrounding the chosen focus point to help ensure more natural color rendition. Flash photography with EOS Systems also benefits from the extraordinary exposure control technology Canon has created. E-TTL (Evaluative Through-The-Lens) and E-TTL II autoflash systems work in combination with the camera’s multi-zone metering sensor to help

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 also incorporate distance information from compatible EF lenses, enabling the system to better handle dark, light and highly reflective subjects. Resulting images can have a virtually perfect balance between ambient light and flash illumination, even in complicated lighting situations and compositions.

Intelligent Viewfinder

The Intelligent Viewfinder, found on the EOS-1D X and EOS 7D, uses a transparent LCD monitor to superimpose a customizable combination of focus points, gridlines and other shooting information within the viewfinder. Whereas with other EOS cameras’ viewfinders the representation of AF points and metering areas are static, the Intelligent Viewfinder allows the information to be displayed, adjusted, or hidden with ease. This means less distraction and more clarity to view the image in its entirety. The Intelligent Viewfinder includes a Grid Display and in Spot metering mode, the specific area metered is shown.

Zone AF – The AF points are divided into five focusing zones, useful for off-center shots.

Spot AF – Focuses on an even smaller area for precise focus on small subjects.

Live View Function – With Live View Function, images can be composed and captured from the camera’s LCD monitor.

Viewfinder

No matter the camera’s specifications, a clear, bright viewfinder is the photographer’s first tool for great images. Canon innovates with their viewfinders, especially with the viewfinders in the EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS 7D, by offering approx. 100% viewfinder coverage, and several EOS SLRs have a larger pentaprism for higher viewfinder magnification. These cameras offer the best view of any EOS digital camera to date. All EOS DSLR cameras offer dioptric correction and several EOS DSLR cameras have a number of different viewfinder accessories, including up to 11 different focus screens available for almost any application.

Live View Function

Canon’s spectacular Live View shooting is now available through most of the EOS digital models. Live View Function, where the photographer can compose and shoot directly from the camera’s LCD monitor is an indispensable feature for creative photography in any number of situations. It enables the photographer to zoom in and navigate the composition 5x or 10x its normal size, while enabling critical focus and

10x magnified view.

allowing more attention to detail. Users can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for architectural photography. In the studio, Live View Function can be used remotely (via a computer) through the camera’s USB connection (via the gigabit Ethernet port on the EOS-1D X), or wirelessly if the optional Wireless File Transmitter is used.

Live View Focusing

Canon’s Live View Function includes 3 focusing modes: Quick mode, Live mode, and Face Detection Live mode. In Quick mode, One-Shot AF is set automatically and the AF point is selectable even while the Live View image is displayed. In Live mode, AF can be started by pressing the AE button for either AF mode. In Face Detection Live mode, the largest face near center is detected initially, but the multicontroller can be used to select any face detected.

Superb Ergonomics

EOS cameras not only produce phenomenal images, they are designed to be comfortable to use and carry all day long. From bright viewfinders, to tactile buttons and knobs, Canon is constantly refining ergonomics based on the feedback of real users. Canon’s Custom Functions further enable photographers to tailor features and operations to their shooting style. The new EOS-1D X has new,

programmable function buttons located on the front of the camera that enable fast access to frequently used features the photographer specifies.

Its vertical grip is redesigned for comfort and familiarity, and combined with a vertical position Multi-controller, provides every option and button found in the horizontal for uninterrupted, intuitive shooting no matter the camera’s orientation.

camera that helps 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 help it stay off. With DPP, dust missed by the cleaning unit can be captured by Canon’s Dust Delete Data Detection and can be erased from the image file.

Dual Axis Electronic Level Sensor

Developed by Canon and featured in the EOS-1D X and EOS 7D, the brilliant Dual Axis Electronic Level display aids in achieving perfectly oriented shots. Visible in the viewfinder and on the camera’s LCD monitor, in both Live View mode or as a standalone, and capable of displaying both roll and pitch in 1° increments, the Dual Axis Electronic Level Sensor is invaluable for architecture, macro photography, video, or any situation where critical composition is important.

Shooting Modes

Beyond normal shooting modes such as Auto, Aperture priority and Shutter priority, select EOS DSLRs offer shooting features such as Picture Style technology, which optimizes camera settings for subjects like landscapes and portraits, even monochromes. For even more creative imaging freedom, Canon developed Basic+. Basic+ makes it easy to create whatever image effects desired. Basic+ has two initial option categories: In “Shoot by ambiance selection,” standard white balance and exposure compensation are altered according to the chosen ambience,

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.

Scene Intelligent Auto

Scene Intelligent Auto, found on the EOS Rebel T3i merges a number of very complex measurements into settings that will ensure photographs of

Basic+ screen

like vivid, soft, warm, intense, cool, brighter, darker and monochrome. In “Shoot by lighting or scene type,” white balance is adjusted according to selections like daylight, cloudy, shade, tungsten, fluorescent and sunset. These features, complemented by the Canon Auto Lighting Optimizer, Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction, Highlight Tone Priority and Noise Reduction feature help ensure accurate, nuanced results.

gorgeous tonality, accurate color, sharp focus and phenomenal detail.

Use Picture Styles to Easily Achieve the Effect You Want

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 settings are optimal for the shot. Canon’s ingenious Picture Style feature comes to the rescue, providing a number of user-friendly presets, including standard, neutral and landscape, giving the ability to fine-tune the images the camera 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, and more can be created using Canon’s included Picture Style Editor Software. Individual camera settings—such as sharpening, contrast, color tone, and saturation can be overridden if need be.

Advanced RAW+JPEG Recording (in-camera processing)

Best described as “digital negatives”, RAW images contain pre-processed image data as captured by the sensor and, with post-processing, they yield the highest image quality possible from a DSLR. While professionals and advanced amateurs often prefer to shoot in RAW mode, JPEG images take up significantly less storage space and are often more immediately pleasing to the eye. With Canon’s EOS DSLR cameras, images can be captured in a number of RAW and JPEG modes, depending on the camera’s sensor, as well as record numerous combinations of RAW, sRAW and JPEG images simultaneously. Several models even offer in-camera post processing. The EOS-1D X features in-camera post processing with image correction options like white balance, brightness, picture style and more, plus image resizing with JPEG images. Additionally, the EOS-1D X features Expanded Quick Control functions during playback like image protect, image rotate, rating, RAW image processing, resize, highlight alert, AF point and image jump, meaning a streamlined workflow can begin in the field.

Enhanced GUI (Feature Guide, Easier Menu System)

While Canon’s Graphical User Interface has long been the industry standard, Canon is constantly refining and developing new features for a smoother user experience. Accordingly, the GUI has been revamped for the new EOS-1D X based on the response and feedback of professional users. Its Graphic User Interface is faster, more precise and more intuitive than ever. The menu structure has been redesigned so that frequently used functions

In Burst Mode, continuous shooting is prioritized, up to 9 shots are captured, perfect for capturing golf or baseball swings.

Wireless Transmitter Technology

As quickly as the DSLR camera has become commonplace in the hands of professional photographers and enthusiasts alike, so too has wireless communication progressed between the SLR and external components. The EOS DSLRs have a number of dedicated Wireless File Transmitters that keep the camera connected to the wireless world, simply, with tremendous speed. Whether connected through a port on the side of the camera, or incorporated into a camera-integrated design – some units serve as an auxiliary hand grip – Canon Wireless Transmitters can connect securely to Local Area Networks (LAN) wirelessly (with a range up to approximately 500 feet) or directly, and can connect and upload to FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or dedicated WFT Servers.

Fast, Reliable Image Data Transfer – The WFT-E6A (EOS-1D X), WFT-E5A (EOS 7D), WFT-E2 II A (EOS-1D Mark IV and EOS-1Ds Mark III) and WFT-E4 II A (EOS 5D Mark II) feature IEEE802.11a/b/g compatibility, WPS compatibility, WFT Server Remote Live View, a camera linking function and Bluetooth connectivity. The WFT-E6A conforms to IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standards, performing up to 2.5x faster than other models, and features an image resend feature that ensures that all images get transferred, even if wireless signal drops interrupt transmission.

Media Server Function – Models such as the WFT-E6A and WFT-E5A also include a media server function. With select models, in WFT Server mode, up to three separate computers can access the camera’s memory card using a

Wireless Transmitter for EOS-1D X

standard Web browser from anywhere in the world (Microsoft Internet Explorer®, Apple Safari®, etc.). Images can be selected from the browser window and dragged onto a computer’s desktop or to a folder, which copies the full file to a computer. Remote firing of the camera over the Internet is also possible using the Remote Live View function. With the EOS-1D X and the EOS 7D, a dedicated media server can also be created with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compliant devices, allowing numerous points of access to images instantaneously.

Computer Connectivity – EOS Utility Mode, or PTP (Point-to-Point) connectivity, allows the photographer to connect a single camera to a computer for advanced two-way communication and professional tethered camera operation. Certain WFT units can also connect to select GPS units adding location and time code shooting data. Plus, WFT models can be used as remote control receivers, allowing for wireless shooting and control, from a range of Wi-Fi enabled handheld devices including smartphones.

USB Host Capability with GPS Support – Photographers can take full advantage of the WFT unit’s USB host capability* by connecting a compatible GPS device via USB cable or

optional Bluetooth dongle. This makes it possible to add GPS coordinates, altitude and UTC time code to embedded shooting data within image files. Compatible GPS units include several in Garmin’s GPSMAP series and in the Magellan eXplorist series (using NMEA 0183 v.2.0.1 output data standard or “Garmin protocol”). USB Host capability also allows connectivity to some external hard drives for added storage options.

Weather-Resistant Design –The WFT units designed for the EOS-1D class professional DSLRs feature rugged and lightweight magnesium alloy bodies, just like the cameras to which they attach. Moreover, they feature the same fully sealed construction, ensuring that the highly weather-resistant design of the camera is not compromised.

Extensive Wired and Wireless LAN Functions – Select WFT units not only support wireless LAN environments but also enable wired network connections, providing high-speed 100Base-TX communication.** Built-in WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) makes it easy to make secure LAN connections.

Linked Multi-Camera Shooting – Using multiple WFT units on compatible EOS digital cameras, up to ten Slave/Remote cameras can be

linked wirelessly to a master camera. Connections are made simply and conveniently via wireless LAN. Remote camera shutters are automatically tripped when the master camera shutter is released. With such a setup, a photographer can, for example, shoot simultaneously from various angles.

*The WFT-E6A provides an internal Bluetooth function but does not have USB host capability. A dedicated GP-E1 accessory is available for the EOS-1D X.

**The WFT-E6A has no provision for wired LAN connectivity because the EOS-1D X is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet port.

Expandable Accessories (GPS, compass, etc.)

The GPS Receiver GP-E1† attaches to the EOS-1D X, offering the same dust and waterproof protection as the camera body itself, features its own power supply and is always ready to append location data to images. It records latitude, longitude/elevation and UTC time, and features GPS Time Sync Function and features an electronic compass that records the camera’s orientation when shooting.

CMOS Sensor (Actual Size)

designed from the ground up to create high resolution, perfectly detailed images with great speed and clarity. A full 24 x 36mm, the sensor captures 5208 x 3477 large individual 6.95 µm pixels and has a much-improved S/N ratio resulting in better images from the start. A new photodiode structure with an increased photoelectric conversion rate increases the sensor’s sensitivity by approximately 2 stops over previous models, meaning higher ISOs with the lowest noise of any EOS DSLR. And a 2-line 16-channel simultaneous signal readout means speeds of up to 12 fps (14 fps in Super High Speed Mode) are possible, even at full resolution!

Dual ≥ 5+ Image Processors

For a whole new level of performance, the EOS-1D X uses Dual ≥5+ Image Processors. Delivering speeds of up to 12 fps (RAW + JPEG) and 14 fps (JPEG). Compared with the predecessor, Canon’s ≥4 Image Processor, the ≥ Image Processor offers approximately 17x faster processing speed, and features new algorithms that promote greater noise reduction at higher ISOs. In addition to conventional image processing functions, the Dual ≥5+ Image Processors offer real time compensation for chromatic aberration in both still and motion images. With the power of these two processors, speed improvements are noticeable from the instant the camera is turned on and the stunning results speak for themselves.

51200 High ISO Standard

The EOS-1D X not only offers higher standard and expanded ISOs, it delivers a score of new options to enhance shooting in varied and fast-changing lighting situations. With a standard range of ISO 100-51200, the EOS-1D X represents a 2-stop increase in sensitivity over previous cameras. Thanks to the improved signal-to-noise ratio of the new sensor and the powerful noise reduction provided by the Dual

≥ 5+ Image Processors, the EOS-1D X can

21 central cross-type points (f/5.6 lenses)

central cross-type points (f/5.6 horizontal & vertical) and 20 outer cross-type points (f/4.0 horizontal), and is remarkably sensitive in low-light situations (EV-2 for a central point with a f/2.8 lens).

The AF unit itself is designed to perform flawlessly even in adverse conditions, with secondary imaging lenses that use temperature- and humidity-resistant glass molding. Combined with the EOS-1D X’s quick

return mirror mechanism, the AF sensor is reliably stable, every time.

To complement the sophisticated improvements to the EOS-1D X’s AF system, the camera has a system-first dedicated AF menu tab, so AF can be controlled without having to go through custom function menus. There are 6 AF point selection methods (spot, single point, single point and adjacent 4 points, single point and adjacent 8 points, zone selection and full automatic), plus a dedicated AF configuration tool for control of AI Servo AF tracking parameters.

EOS iTR AF

With help from the EOS-1D X’s new 100,000-pixel RGB Metering sensor, subject identification and tracking is significantly more reliable than with previous models. EOS iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) AF allows for subject recognition based on color and face detection. These improvements are evident in tracking movements that were previously too unpredictable to follow. With acceleration and deceleration tracking, the EOS-1D X’s AI Servo AF system can adjust response and react to sudden stops and starts, perfect especially for sports and wildlife photography. Specific parameters can be adjusted and refined and saved in the AF menu for later use.

New AF and AE systems deliver significant improvement in subject identification and tracking.
