Canon Innovation: The Hallmark of All EOS SLR Cameras
Highly Sensitive 15.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
14.9 mm
22.3 mm
EOS 50D APS-C CMOS Sensor (actual size)
The EOS 50D CMOS sensor delivers a high imaging resolution of approximately 15.1 effective megapixels. The recording area of the sensor is 22.3 x 14.9mm (APS-C), which results in a lens conversion (crop) factor of approximately
1.6 in relation to the traditional full-frame 35mm film format. An innovative micro semiconduc­tor manufacturing process has increased the photodiode area and the photoelectric conver­sion rate, significantly improving noise perform­ance, high ISO shooting capability and overall dynamic range. Light gathering efficiency has been improved through an improved fabrica­tion process that eliminates gaps between the microlenses. An enhanced high-speed data acquisition system, which employs four chan­nels per line, ensures faster image capture.
Advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Successive generations of Canon DIGIC technolo­gy have brought steady improvement in process-
ing speed and image quality, providing the necessary power to deal with the increased volume of data generated by imaging sensors of ever-increasing pixel dimensions. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor in the EOS 50D incorporates the latest Canon technologies, elevating imaging performance to dizzying heights. Moreover, the DIGIC 4 Image Processor makes possible, an array of
advanced features, such as Live View Function with Face Detection AF, Auto Lighting Optimizer, Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction and expanded RAW capture options.
Expanded ISO Range
The advanced design of the Canon EOS 50D CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor deliv­ers a remarkably wide ISO range of 100–3200 in standard mode, selectable in 1/3-stop incre­ments. In extended range mode, the high end can be boosted to 6400 or 12800. The combined low-noise performance of the CMOS sensor and DIGIC4 Image Processor makes the higher ISO settings usable in real-world shooting situations.
Multiple RAW Recording Options
The EOS 50D augments traditional RAW record­ing by providing three RAW capture modes. The standard RAW mode fully utilizes the sensor providing a 4752 x 3168 pixel (approximately
15.1 Megapixels) image. The sRAW1 and sRAW2 modes capture at 3267 x 2178 (approx.
7.1 Megapixels) and 2376 x 1584 (approx. 3.8 Megapixels) pixels, respectively. The latter two RAW recording options greatly enhance shooting flexibility, enabling the photographer to select pixel dimensions appropriate to the assignment and reducing file sizes whenever possible to streamline processing.
Outstanding Low-Noise Performance
Riveting image quality is also assured by an improved noise reduction system. A Custom Function can be used to select automatic noise reduction with long exposures. Similarly, a Custom Function allows the photographer to fine-tune the degree to which noise reduction is applied when shooting at high ISO settings. The DIGIC 4 Image Processor has significantly reduced chroma noise in shadow areas. Moreover, all but the strongest noise reduction setting can now be selected without adversely affecting the maximum burst shooting speed in continuous mode.
Rugged Construction
The EOS 50D is a durable, dependable camera. The top, front and rear covers of the body are made of magnesium alloy, known for its out-
standing strength and light weight. Furthermore, by integrating the camera grip with the front cover, Canon engineers achieved excellent body rigidity. The body’s basic chassis is constructed of stainless steel for exceptional durability and long-term mechanical reliability.
Innovative EOS Integrated Cleaning System
The Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System uses ultra­sonic vibration to remove dust that settles on the sen­sor surface. This self-cleaning routine is auto­matically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off, but can also be manually activated by the user. Moreover, by shooting a plain white subject, the photographer can acquire dust delete data that are transmitted along with the image (whether JPEG or RAW). Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software can then be used to manually or automatically erase the dust spots. The EOS 50D incorporates the advanced Integrated Cleaning System that features an ultrasonic vibration system and a fluorine coating on the low-pass filter that better resists dust adhesion.
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
Fast Continuous Shooting with Precise Autofocus
Nine AF points make it easier to lock onto subjects, even if they are not centered in the composition. All AF points are of the cross type, with a diagonally mounted cross-type sensor at the center AF point that is sensitive to both vertical and horizontal lines. This enhances available light autofocus performance when using lenses f/2.8 and faster. The EOS 50D autofocus system also incorporates an advanced automatic compensation system that virtually eliminates the focusing errors that can occur with different light sources. In addition, the EOS 50D provides AF microadjustment capability via a Custom Function. Microadjustment can be performed globally (for all lenses) or individually for each lens in a photographer’s arsenal. Up to 20 lenses can be programmed for AF microadjustment.
The high-performance shutter assembly,
the fast autofocus system, the advanced
CMOS sensor, and the world-class DIGIC 4 Image Processor combine to make the EOS 50D a highly responsive, fast-handling camera. Despite the increased data handling requirements associated with 15.1 Megapixel image capture,
6.3 fps con­tinuous shooting speed
the EOS 50D can shoot continuously at 6.3 fps. It can also capture up to 60 consecutive full­resolution JPEG images when a traditional CF card is used, and up to 90 JPEG images when a UDMA CF card is used, or up to 16 RAW images in a single continuous burst with either a CF or UDMA CF card.
Picture Style Presets
The Canon Picture Style feature provides a number of user-friendly presets that eliminate the need to make numerous individual changes to camera settings. They enable the photographer to make optimal choices based simply on the type of shooting. The EOS 50D provides six factory preset styles (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome) and enables the user to program three additional custom presets. Modifiable parameters include sharpness, contrast, color saturation, color tone, filter effect and toning effect.
Auto Lighting Optimizer
The Auto Lighting Optimizer automatically adjusts brightness and contrast during image processing. This process can dramatically improve the tonal qualities of an image, especially when shooting conditions cause AE underexposure, flash underexposure, low contrast, or back-lit scene underexposure. It is automatically selected when shooting with the EOS 50D in the Full Auto or Creative Auto mode. In all other shooting modes, the user can select standard, weak, strong or no processing.
Auto Lighting Optimizer (Backlit Face Detect): Standard
Auto Lighting Optimizer (Backlit Face Detect): Disable
Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction
This powerful feature automatically corrects for light fall-off at the four corners of an image with many lenses. Since peripheral illumina­tion characteristics vary for each lens, this cor­rective system relies on a registered database. With JPEG images, the correction is performed in-camera at the time of capture. With RAW images, the correction can be performed post­capture using Canon DPP software. The EOS 50D can store correction data for approximately 20 Canon lenses, and lens data can be added or deleted using the EOS Utility.
Extended Live View Function Capabilities
Live View Function allows the photographer to compose and shoot using the rear LCD moni­tor. Live View Function settings can now be accessed via a centralized function screen for easier use. In Live View mode, the camera uses Evaluative metering via the image sensor. Most shooting options — such as drive mode, ISO speed, Picture Style, white balance and AF mode (see below) — can be selected while in Live View mode.
There are three Live View AF modes. In Quick mode, the AF sensor is used for phase-differ­ence detection. One-Shot AF is automatically selected, and the user can select an AF point even while the Live View Function image is displayed. When the AF Start button is pressed, the mirror goes down, momentarily interrupting the live display. After autofocus has executed, the mirror flips up, and the Live View Function image is restored. The Live mode uses the image sensor to perform contrast-detection AF. The Multi-controller can be used to select the AF point within 63% of the picture area. The Face Detection Live mode uses contrast AF to detect the human face. If multiple faces are detected, the face closer to the center and/or the larger face is automatically selected as the AF point. The photographer can use the Multi-controller to select a different face for AF as desired.
3.0-inch Clear View LCD Monitor
A high-performance LCD monitor provides large, detailed image and informational display. The brilliant 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor
features approximately 920,000 dots/VGA, providing 100% image area coverage and a wide viewing angle of 160° (both vertically and horizontally). The color gamut is much closer to the sRGB colorspace, ensuring more tonally accurate, natural-looking, viewed images. A new panel coating is more smudge resistant and provides dependable anti-reflec­tion properties.
Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3A
Originally designed for use with the EOS 40D cam­era, the WFT­E3A is also compatible with the EOS 50D, providing advanced functions and capabilities, such as both wireless (802.11b or g) and wired (100Mbps Ethernet) LAN connectivity.
