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

inno

vations 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 f

aithf

spond 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

bec

se of

the quality of the images they

you to create.

EOS SLR TECHNOLOGY

Aut

ocus 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 allow the user a variety of ways to select

the correct focusing points 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 system that provides not only the industry’s

largest AF coverage area, but also the greatest

ange of control over focusing point selection.

The focusing point can be selected automatically

by the camera (based on high-speed microcom-

uter analysis of image content) or manu-

ally by the user. With Canon’s flagship

EOS-1Ds Mark III, users can select

om 19 high precision, cross-type

AF points which are complemented

AF Sensor

by 26 contrast light-analyzing assist points for pin

sharp accuracy, instantaneously. 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

-c

enter. 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.

High-Speed Shooting

EOS Digital SLR cameras have always been asso-

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

Mark III is 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 lag time of

40msec, an 80msec

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. Combined with Canon’s

superlative high-speed focusing options, the

1D Mark III is the fastest EOS Digital SLR among

all EOS Digital SLR cameras.

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

om amon

g 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,

and have the system average the light readings for

you. Flash photography with EOS Systems also

benefits from Canon’s extraordinary exposure

control technology. E-TTL (Evaluative Through-The-

Lens) and E-TTL II autoflash systems work in

combination with the camera’s 21-, 35- or 63-zone

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 per

ect balance between ambient light and

flash illumination, even in complicated lighting

situations and compositions.

Flexible Shooting Modes

Most EOS models with a 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

reative Zone.

5-point Area AF

—

Canon’s unique 45-point High-Density

rea AF not only delivers much greater freedom of composi-

tion but also provides improved subject tracking.

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

evaluative metering system considers not only the active

ocusin

g point but also a range of metered values from adjacent

reas to determine correct exposure even in difficult lighting.

10 fp

— This

highl

spon

e AF technology contributes to the

rapid continuous shooting capability of EOS SLR cameras—a

maximum of 10 fps (frames per second) with the EOS-1D Mark III

& EOS-1v equipped with Power Drive Booster.
