EOS SLR TECHNOLOGY
The history of Canon EOS SLR cameras is brimming 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 advancement 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
because they enhance the photographic 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
T h e best autofocus system is comprised of the ultimate combination of accuracy and speed. And for that combination, there’s nothing like the AF
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. Select EOS cameras feature up to 39 cross-type AF points that provide both vertical and horizontal sensitivity, guaran­teeing the same optimal performance no matter the camera’s orientation. To main­tain focus, advanced Canon focus tracking technology helps to retain the accuracy of the initial AF setting, no matter how fast the subject is moving. High-speed microcom­puters use advanced algorithms that ensure fast and accurate AF performance under a wide variety of conditions. Focus tracking modes include single point AF, Spot AF (which narrows the area used by the AF line sensor, helping to reduce detection errors that occur from near and far objects when aiming at small subjects), and AF point expansion, where AF points surrounding the one chosen can assist when the subject becomes unfo­cused. Canon’s AF systems also detect the type of light source and automatically compensate the focus by taking into account artificial lighting sources and making appropriate adjustments.
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
AF Technology — The EOS 7D features an all cross-type 19-point AF system with AI Servo II AF that precisely tracks subject movement for sharp, accurate focus almost every time.
it is off-center. AI SERVO AF/AI SERVO II 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 new AI SERVO II AF, found on the EOS-1D Mark IV and EOS 7D, uses new algorithms for even better pre­dictive focus tracking performance when shooting subjects with unpredictable movement. Even diffi­cult, high-magnification subjects, such as a flower in a breeze are captured accurately with a Canon Macro lens using these new tracking algorithms.
High-Speed Shooting
EOS SLR cameras have always been associated with speedy operation. Certain Canon EOS cameras offer 10 frames-per-second continuous shooting, up to 28 RAW files or 121 full-resolution JPEGs. Canon provides other aspects of camera responsiveness as well: the speediest EOS has a minimum lag time of 40 msec, an 80 msec viewfinder black­out time (at speeds of 1/60th and above), shutter speeds up to 1/8000 sec., and a flash sync as fast as 1/300 sec. when used with EOS Speedlites. Dedicated, quiet low-speed modes and
self-timers add flexibility to speed.
Diverse AF Shooting Options
Beyond the AF modes supported in each EOS camera, Canon developed a number of AF options to further enhance customization and creativity. Certain Canon models can register original AF points’ “Home Positions” and represent them in both horizontal and vertical shooting positions, suitable for shooting in situations where compo­sitions are retained from shot to shot. For more flexibility, the new Canon Zone AF system is particularly useful when the subject is off-center. One of five distinct focus zones can be chosen and the optimal point can be selected from there. In addition to these modes, certain EOS cameras’ AF systems can be further customized via the Custom Function Menu. Parameters such as initial focus point, AF beam control, AF zone expansion, AF Stop and more can be selected and refined to suit the photographer and the situation.

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 a digital EOS camera, 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.

tivities, 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 depth­of-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.
HD
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 gain 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.
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 new 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.
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

Movie Crop
The Movie Crop function, on cameras like the EOS 60D and EOS Rebel T2i, enables zooming at 7x the captured focal length for distant action and extreme
close-ups. This feature is perfect when the cho­sen subject is in a crowd, like a specific athlete, when it’s impossible to get close to the action.
Recorded as a VGA movie, Movie Crop shots are perfect for emailing, posting online, or editing into other movie clips.
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 shooting 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.

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 Highlight Tone Priority function calculates the exposure to expand the image’s dynamic range so that more detail is preserved in highlights. This renders a more continuous tone image without blown highlights, and helps to save time in

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 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

EOS-1Ds Mark III Full-Frame CMOS Sensor (actual size)
SLR cameras with full-frame sensors, found on the 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 digital SLR 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

Effective Light-gathering
The EOS-1Ds Mark III and 5D Mark II sensors have
21.1 effective megapixels and the EOS-1D Mark IV has 16.1 effective megapixels. Individual pixel size on the EOS-1Ds Mark III’s and 5D Mark II’s sensors are 6.4µm, and the EOS-1D Mark IV’s sensor is
5.7µm. By optimizing the gap between the on-chip microlenses and improving the fill factor (photo­diode area divided by total pixel size) of each pixel, light-gathering efficiency has been improved.

Image Processors by Canon use advanced signal processing technologies to dramatically enhance image quality and deliver a more intuitive, responsive camera. The 4/III Image Processors work in concert with Canon CMOS sensors to achieve even higher levels of perform­ance, with high-end EOS cameras incorporating Dual Image Processors. Signal processing
algorithms work with the multi-channel 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 repro­duction, noise reduction in low light situations and reproduction of fine detail are all signifi­cantly improved. In addition, the latest Dual
4 Image Processors speed up all opera-
tions such that a number of processor intensive features are possible. Canon technologies like Face Detection Live mode, Full HD and HD movie recording, Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction and Auto Lighting Optimizer are all possible thanks to the power afforded by the amazing DIGIC Image Processor.

breathtaking ISO range of ISO 100-12800 (L: 50, H1: 25600, H2: 51200, H3: 102400)! 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 digital SLR 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.
post-processing for highlight retrieval.
Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction
Another feature available in Canon’s newest EOS digital cameras is Canon’s Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction feature. Taking into 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 post-production work.

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 digital SLR cameras offer dioptric correction and several EOS SLRs have a number of different viewfinder accessories, including up to 11 different focus screens available for most any application.
Superlative Exposure Control
Canon EOS DSLRs incorporate advanced exposure control systems, offering the photographer 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
Intelligent Viewfinder
The Intelligent Viewfinder, found on the EOS 7D, is a transparent LCD in the viewfinder that superimposes a variety of shooting information at the push of a button. Whereas with other EOS cameras’ viewfinders the representation of AF points and metering areas are static, with the EOS 7D’s Intelligent Viewfinder, they can be displayed, adjusted, or hidden, in camera, 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.

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 Through­The-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.
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.
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 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 normal size, while enabling critical focus and 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, 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 Multi-controller can be used to select any face detected.
Multi-control Dial on EOS 60D
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 own shooting style, or to optimize camera performance for specific subjects or shooting conditions. Whether customizing a shutter speed range or specifying the parameters of bracketing, photographers lit­erally have hundreds of choices in how they
want their EOS digital SLR to operate with ease. With the EOS 60D, the Multi-control Dial, featur­ing a dedicated and easily-accessible Quick Control button for quick access to the Quick Control screen at any time, enables users to operate menus and enter settings with a simple touch. With its in-house capabilities, Canon is able to rapidly develop and manufacture proprietary ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits), eliminating dependence on common “off-the­shelf” components, and enabling the fast deployment of new, innovative solutions in digital camera design. Canon EOS DSLR cameras thus incorporate advanced sensors, processors and other key components. Combined with standout electromechanical and optical design know-how, Canon digital technologies make EOS simply one of the most powerful DSLR systems anyone can own.
Dual Axis Electronic Level Sensor
Among the newest and most useful features developed by Canon for the 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, 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.

forward directly at the subject (when facing the subject, the displayed image automatically flips, showing a right-side-up mirror image, perfect for self-portraits). Because the monitor opens out sideways, it switches between low and high angle shooting without interfering with the use of auxiliary camera grips or tripods.
Advanced RAW + JPEG Recording
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 will 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 EOS DSLR cameras, you can capture images in a number of RAW or JPEG modes and sRAW options, depending on the camera’s sensor, as well as record numerous
combinations of RAW and JPEG images simulta­neously. And models like the EOS 60D can pro­cess RAW files in-camera, delivering JPEGs based on the shot’s original parameters, or with changes as specified by the photographer. This makes it easy to experiment with the Canon Creative Filters, simulating grainy black and white photog­raphy, soft focus, toy cameras, even a Miniature Effect, with no effect on the original RAW file.
Maximum Durability and Performance
Hold a Canon EOS SLR in your hands. The look and feel of quality and reliability are the result of decades of camera-making experience and these translate to real-world performance and durability second to none. The newest EOS-1D class professional SLR 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 some of the world’s harshest shooting conditions.
Weatherproof – Select EOS cameras feature dust- and weather-resistant bodies. EOS 7D with BG-E7 shown.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon has designed an Integrated Cleaning System with a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit customized to the specifi­cations and performance characteristics of each EOS digital SLR 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.
Wireless Transmitter Technology
As quickly as the digital SLR has become commonplace in the hands of professional photographers and enthusiasts alike, so too has wireless communication between the SLR and external components. The EOS series has 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. The WFT-E5A (EOS 7D), WFT-E2 II A (EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark III) and WFT-E4 II A (EOS 5D Mark II) feature IEEE802.11a/b/g compatibility (Type-A/B/G), WPS compatibility, WFT Server Remote Live View, a camera linking function and Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, the WFT-E5A also includes 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 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. With 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. 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. WFT units can also connect to select GPS units, via the USB Host function, and have GPS infor­mation, altitude and time code added to each image’s shooting data. External hard drives can be attached for direct recording or backup. Plus, select 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.
