A Trustworthy High-Performance

Full-Frame S R

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II is an exceptional

digital SLR, perfect for professional photogra-

phers as well as serious digital photography

enthusiasts seeking a camera a cut above typical

offerings. eaturing a technologically advanced

Canon 21.1 Megapixel ull- rame CMOS sensor,

the powerfull Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor,

14-bit A/D conversion and numerous perform-

ance enhancements, the EOS 5D Mark II delivers

outstanding image capture capability while

expanding traditional SLR functionality.

Image Quality

ight Capturing

Full-Frame CMOS Sensor

The EOS 5D Mark II incorporates the Canon

CMOS sensor, which delivers an imaging reso-

lution of approximately 21.1 Megapixels.

The recording area of the sensor is 36.0 x

24.0mm, which is equivalent to the full-frame

size of the 35mm film format. Compared to

typical smaller digital camera sensors, the

Canon full-frame sensor can accommodate a

tremendous pixel count while maintaining a

larger individual pixel site size for incredible

light gathering characteristics. Moreover, full-

frame sensors enable photographers to take

full advantage of the entire range of superb

Canon E lenses without a conversion factor.

That means lenses perform at their best,

making optimal use of the specific optical

characteristics for which they were designed.

This is an important benefit for photographers

who have sizable E lens collections.

Image Processor

The Canon

DIGIC Image

Processor is a high-per-

formance imaging

processor that has been

a major distinguishing

feature of Canon digital cameras. Designed

and developed by Canon, the DIGIC Image

Processor features proprietary algorithms and

high-speed signal processing, delivering razor-

sharp image detail, natural color reproduction,

advanced camera responsiveness and reduced

power consumption. Successive generat ions

of Canon DIGIC technology have brought about

steady improvement in processing 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 5D

Mark II personifies Canon image technologies,

elevating imaging performance to dizzying

heights. While retaining all of the best features

of its predecessors, the DIGIC 4 Image Processor

ensures faithful natural color reproduction and

handles the high-resolution data from the 21.1

Megapixel CMOS sensor at the high speeds

required to assure instantaneous camera

response.

Moreover, the DIGIC 4 Image Processor

makes possible richly advanced features,

such as ull HD video recording, Live View

unction with face detection A and Auto

Lighting Optimizer (all described later).

High-Resolution Image Capture

The 21.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor

captures images with extraordinary detail

and acuity. The generous pixel dimensions

(5616 x 3744) not only assures uncompro-

mised image quality at enormous print output

sizes, but also provides expanded image

cropping flexibility. In many professional

applications, the EOS 5D Mark II makes it

unnecessary to use medium-format cameras

to capture sufficient image detail.

Advanced 14-bit A/D Conversion

The extra power of the DIGIC 4 Image

Processor enables far greater precision in the

analog-to-digital conversion of the data from

the CMOS sensor. The EOS 5D Mark II improves

A/D conversion from 12 to 14 bits per channel.

Tonal gradations for RAW images are

represented by 16,384 separate levels per

channel rather than 4,096. When saved as a

16-bit TI image, the image retains the full

range of tones captured at 14 bits. Also, JPEG

images, at 8 bits per color channel, are gen-

erated from the 14-bit data. Artifacts related

to limited dynamic range, such as tonal skip-

ping and highlight clipping, are thereby

reduced substantially, improving gradation,

detail and overall image quality.

Exceptional ISO Range

The very design of the EOS 5D Mark II CMOS

sensor has advanced image capture capa-

bilities and improved sensitivity. Combined

with the sophisticated performance of the

DIGIC 4 Image Processor, the EOS 5D Mark II

delivers an amazing ISO range of 100 – 6400

in standard mode, selectable in 1/3-stop

increments. In extended range mode, the

available ISO settings are 50, 12800 and

25600. More importantly, the combined low-

noise performance of the sensor and image

processor makes the higher ISO settings

usable in real-world shooting situations.

Outstanding ow-Noise Performance

The EOS 5D Mark II CMOS sensor features

advanced on-chip noise-reduction technology.

To achieve its remarkable performance, this

design incorporates a novel feed-through out-

put amp that ensures both high speed capture

and low noise. Noise is further reduced by an

improved manufacturing process, an optimized

pixel amp and an optimized reading circuit.

Gorgeous image quality is also ensured by

an improved noise reduction system, which

can be used for long exposures and/or high-

ISO shooting. A Custom unction can be used

to select automatic noise reduction with long

exposures. Similarly, a Custom unction enables

the photographer to fine-tune the degree to

which noise reduction is applied when shoot-

ing at high ISO settings. The EOS 5D Mark II

has the ability to select all but the strongest

noise reduction setting without adversely

affecting the maximum burst shooting speed

in continuous mode.

Multiple RAW Recording Options

RAW capture is a must for photographers who

wish to maintain maximum control over their

images using a variety of post-processing

options. The EOS 5D Mark II augments tradi-

tional RAW recording by providing three RAW

capture modes. The standard RAW mode

provides a maximum resolusion of 5616 x

3744 pixels (approximately 21.1 Megapixel)

Professional Features

High-resolution 3.0-inch Clear View

CD Monitor

The high-performance LCD monitor provides

large, detailed image and informational display.

The brilliant 3.0-inch Clear View LCD features

approximately 920,000 dots, providing 100%

image area coverage and a wide viewing angle

of 170° (both vertically and horizontally).

Brilliant brightness ensures excellent viewing

ability even in bright outdoor conditions. A

built-in light sensor below the monitor is used

to automatically adjust screen brightness to

suit the ambient light conditions. Automatic

adjustment selects dark, standard or bright,

however, the user can choose manual adjust-

ment over a range of seven brightness levels.

The increased resolution of the LCD monitor

makes it possible to view images with far

greater detail, making it easier for shooting

judgments and camera adjustments, especially

when using the Live View unction. The large

size and pixel dimensions make the LCD easier

to use and more informative than ever.

The screen also features a panel coating that

is more smudge resistant and provides

excellent anti-reflection and water-repellent

properties. The monitor can thus be viewed

more clearly in a greater variety of shooting

situations.

Expanded ive View Function

Capabilities

The EOS 5D Mark II enables the LCD monitor to

be used for Live View unction in all capture

modes, whether shooting still photos or

movies in ull HD or SD. Live View unction

settings can be accessed via a centralized

function screen for easier use.

Via the unction screen, the user can enable

or disable the Live

View unction and

choose whether to

use it for stills

only or for both

stills and movies.

In Live View mode,

the camera uses

Evaluative meter-

ing via the image

sensor. Most

shooting options —

such as Drive

mode, ISO speed,

Picture Style,

white balance and

A mode (see

right) — can be

selected while in

Live View unction.

Three screen settings automatically adjust

display brightness to suit the mode of operation.

The Still Display setting makes the Live View

image easier to see with standard still expo-

sures. The image is shown at maximum lens

aperture unless the depth-of-field preview but-

ton is pressed, in which case Live View image

simulates the actual picture brightness as well

as the depth-of-field. The Exposure Simulation

setting provides a preview of expected

changes to the capture image when shutter

speed or aperture changes are made or expo-

sure compensation is used. The Movie Display

setting provides optimal brightness for video

shooting. The video capture frame is indicated

by a semi-transparent mask superimposed on

the screen area, showing the video recording

field of view and aspect ratio. The Movie

Display setting is automatically selected dur-

ing any video shooting.

Full HD Video Recording

Evolved Video Shooting Capability

Still photographers who also need to capture

motion picture video will find the video record-

ing capabilities of the EOS 5D Mark II highly

useful, often eliminating the need to carry a

separate camcorder. The EOS 5D Mark II can

shoot video at ull HD (High Definition) at

1920 x 1080 pixels or SD (Standard Definition)

at 640 x 480 pixels.

The free irmware Upgrade 2.0.3 adds 24p

video acquisition and changes the 30p video

frame rate to 29.97, complying with TV produc-

tion standards, plus adds manual audio level

control and increases the audio sampling fre-

quency to 48KHz. When shooting movies man-

ually, the new histogram display facilitates

monitoring, while Shutter Priority AE mode (Tv)

and Aperture-priority (Av) mode offer flexible

options for controlling exposure. Additionally,

2.0.3 improves camera and lens communica-

tion during manual sensor cleaning.

To begin video shooting, the user simply

presses the SET button while the camera is in

Live View mode. Pressing SET again ends

recording. The maximum file size of individual

video clips is 4GB. This works out to approxi-

mately 12 minutes of footage when shooting

in ull HD, and 24 minutes shooting SD. There

is no real delay before being able to start the

next new video clip, and the only limit to the

number of clips you can shoot is the size of

your memory card. Videos are recorded as

MOV files (with MPEG-4 compression), and the

sound is recorded using uncompressed linear

PCM (pulse code modulation).

The Picture Style selected for the Live View

mode is used for video recording. Thus, adjust-

ments to a Picture style — such as sharpness,

color saturation, etc. — will be reflected in the

captured video footage.

ocus is performed prior to the start of video

recording. As with still shooting, the user can

focus manually or use one of three A modes.

ocus can be re-acquired in the midst of video

shooting using the A Start button. Either Program

AE or full manual exposure control is available

for video recording. The image sensor is used

for metering, and exposure is calculated in real

time using an evaluative algorithm.

A built-in microphone below the camera

nameplate records monaural sound. Stereo

recording is possible with an external stereo

microphone connected to the camera’s mic

input connector (a standard 3.5mm stereo

jack). Audio levels are automatically adjusted

whether recording with the built-in or an exter-

nal microphone.

Still photos can be captured at any time

during video recording simply by pressing the

shutter release button. The photo is captured

at the currently active still image quality settings.

Video recording is momentarily interrupted while

a still photo is being captured; the Live View

unction returns and video recording auto-

matically resumes as soon as the still capture

is completed.

Video can be played back on the EOS 5D

Mark II LCD monitor with sound reproduced via

a built-in speaker located to the right of the

viewfinder eyepiece. Playback options include

standard and slow motion replay (with variable

speed) and various still-frame capabilities.

Easy File Transfer

The new plug-in will allow for simple and easy

transfer of video content from Canon’s EOS DSLR

cameras directly into inal Cut Pro. The EOS

MOVIE Plugin-E1 will take advantage of inal Cut

Pro’s powerful Log and Transfer feature, which

allows users to select video for import from the

memory card, add custom metadata and ingest

the clips in the background so the editing

can begin immediately. The plug-in will be

compatible with inal Cut Pro 6.06 or higher

and currently supports Canon EOS 5D Mark II,

EOS 7D and EOS-1D Mark IV cameras.

Rugged, Durable Design

Magnesium Alloy Body

Magnesium alloy is known for its excellent

strength-to-weight ratio. Because the EOS 5D

Mark II body is constructed of magnesium

alloy, the camera is exceptionally rigid and

durable while maintaining a light weight that

promotes excellent portability and handling.

The magnesium alloy also functions as an

electromagnetic shield, providing added data

protection. Above all, the EOS 5D Mark II is

built to withstand heavy-duty use, providing

reliable long-term performance even under

harsh conditions.

Heavy-duty Shutter, Tested to

150,000 Cycles

The EOS 5D Mark II

shutter assembly

features resilient

durability and

advanced capabilities.

It is rated for 150,000 shutter cycles, a dura-

bility rating surpassed only by the EOS-1 series

digital SLR cameras. It also continues to ensure

high precision and outstanding performance,

providing a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000

second, X-sync at 1/200 second, and continuous

shooting speeds of up to 3.9 fps with a full-

frame sensor. The refined design of the shutter

also enables the camera’s extensive Live View

shooting capabilities.

Innovative EOS

Integrated Cleaning

System

Professional photogra-

phers, especially those

who must change lenses in dusty environments,

have universally praised the Canon EOS

Integrated Cleaning System. It uses both

mechanical and software methods to effectively

deal with dust accumulation on the imaging

sensor. Dust that settles on the sensor surface

is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This

self-cleaning routine is automatically activated

whenever the camera is powered on or off (It

can also be manually activated). A special col-

lar positioned around the sensor collects the

loosened dust. Moreover, by shooting a plain

white subject, the photographer can acquire

dust delete data that is 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, potentially saving a

tremendous amount of time in post-processing.

The EOS 5D Mark II incorporates an

advanced Integrated Cleaning System. The Self

Cleaning Sensor Unit is optimized for the EOS

5D Mark II’s full-frame sensor and improved

with a more effective ultrasonic vibration

mechanism. The

low-pass filter on

the front surface

also has a fluo-

rine coating that

has a high resist-

ance to dust

adhesion. Sticky

and moist dust

particles, which

have always been

difficult to loosen

by vibration

alone, are now

more effectively

moved.

Wireless File Transmitter

WFT-E4 II A/WFT-E4A

The W T-E4 II A or W T-E4A gives the EOS 5D

Mark II body added handling versatility while

providing wireless file transfer and networking

functionality. Attached to the camera, the

W T-E4 II A or W T-E4A serves as a vertical grip,

duplicating basic

camera controls

for easier vertical

shooting. It pro-

vides wired or

wireless network

connectivity, and

its USB port can be connected to an external

storage device, multiplying the camera’s

recording media options. The unit is powered

by one LP-E6 Lithium-ion battery (see below),

the power from which is not used to augment

the camera’s own power supply in any way.

High-capacity

P-E6 Battery Pack

Although about the

same size as previous

battery packs, the

LP-E6 Lithium-ion battery

features significantly boosted

capacity (1800mAh). It also incorporates an

information transmission feature, which

enables photographers to more accurately

assess remaining

capacity and

recharge perform-

ance. Each LP-E6

pack has a unique

embedded serial

number, and up to

six packs can be

registered with the

EOS 5D Mark II.

This makes it

possible to keep

track of usage

history and

performance, information which can be read

on the camera’s display.

Battery Grip BG-E6

A dedicated battery grip for the EOS 5D Mark II,

the BG-E6 houses two LP-E6 Battery Packs.

With the Battery Magazine BGM-E6, six

AA/LR6 alkaline batteries can be used as an

alternate power source. or easier vertical

shooting, the BG-E6 duplicates the following

camera controls: shutter release, Main Dial,

A point selection control, AE lock button and

A Start button. The vertical camera controls

on the grip can also be disabled using the

on/off switch.

Focusing Screens

In addition to the Eg-A

Precision Matte screen,

which is standard equip-

ment on the EOS 5D

Mark II, photographers

can choose from two

additional optional

focusing screens: the

Eg-D Precision Matte

with Grid and Eg-S Super

Precision Matte.

8685

or still shooting, the EOS 5D Mark II’s Live

View unction provides a choice of three A

modes. In Quick mode, the A sensor is used

for phase-difference detection. One-Shot A is

automatically selected, and the user can

select an A point even while the image in Live

View unction is displayed. When the A Start

button is pressed, the mirror goes down,

momentarily interrupting the live display. After

autofocus has executed, the mirror flips up

automatically and the image in Live View

unction is restored. The Live mode uses the

image sensor to perform contrast-detection A .

The Multi-controller can be used to select the

A point, and the A Start button initiates

autofocus. The ace Detection Live mode uses

contrast A to detect the human face. If multiple

faces are detected, the face closest to the

center and/or the largest face is automatically

selected as the autofocus point. The photogra-

pher can use the Multi-controller to select a

different face for A as desired.

The Grid display can be superimposed during

Live View unction to aid in composition. There

are two grid choices: two horizontal and two

vertical or five vertical and three horizontal lines.

The EOS 5D Mark II also provides Silent

Shooting options that can be used during Live

View unction. The CMOS sensor features an

electronic first-curtain shutter function, enabling

exposures to be made while the mechanical

shutter is open. This significantly reduces

shutter noise, making it possible to shoot in

situations that demand quiet camera operation.

Highlight Tone Priority

Activated via a Custom unction on the EOS 5D

Mark II, the Highlight Tone Priority feature

employs advanced exposure and processing

algorithms, taking advantage of the sensor’s

increased dynamic range to preserve greater

detail in image highlight areas — a perennial

problem for digital photographers, especially

in bright sunlight or contrasty studio lighting.

This feature extends the usable capture range

of highlights by about one stop and improves

gradation within highlight areas. By expanding

the range from the correct exposure level (18%

gray) to the maximum allowable highlight

level, the gradation from the grays to the high-

lights becomes smoother and loss in highlight

detail is minimized. Depending on shooting

conditions, noise in the shadow areas may

increase slightly.

Auto ighting Optimizer

When shooting with the EOS 5D Mark II, the

photographer can use the Auto Lighting

Optimizer to automatically adjust brightness

and contrast during image processing. This

process can dramatically improve the tonal

qualities of an image, providing a more pleas-

ing rendition and greater visual impact. It is

automatically selected when shooting in the

ull Auto or Creative Auto mode. In all other

shooting modes, the user can select standard,

weak, or strong processing as well as an

option to disable.

ens Peripheral Illumination Correction

This powerful fea-

ture automatically

corrects for light

fall-off at the four

corners of an

image that occurs

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 same correction can be

performed post-capture using Canon DPP soft-

ware. The EOS 5D Mark II includes pre-regis-

tered data for approximately 30 Canon E

Lenses. The camera can, however, store cor-

rection data for about 40 E Lenses. Lens data

can be added or deleted using the EOS Utility.

When enabling the correction feature, the user

will be informed whether or not data for the

lens in use has been registered in the camera.

When the feature is enabled, correction is

automatically applied whenever there is corre-

sponding data for the attached lens.

Picture Style Presets

The myriad features and settings available to

the digital SLR user can be daunting. Even the

most proficient professional might occasionally

have doubts as to whether all of the camera

settings are opti-

mal for the shot.

The ingenious

Canon Picture

Style feature

comes to the res-

cue, providing a

number of user-friendly presets that eliminate

the need to make numerous individual changes

to camera settings. They enable the photogra-

pher to make optimal choices based simply on

the type of shooting. The EOS 5D Mark II provides

six factory preset styles and enables the user

to program three additional custom presets.

1. Standard – or crisp, clean images with good

sharpness and vivid color reproduction —

ideal for general shooting requiring little to

no post-processing.

2. Portrait – Color settings are optimized for

pleasing skin tone reproduction. Slightly

weaker sharpening than the Standard mode

yields more natural skin and hair detail.

3. Landscape – Color settings are optimized

for deep blues and greens for more saturated

skies and greenery. Slightly stronger sharp-

ening than the Standard mode yields more

crisply defined image elements, such as

mountains, trees and buildings.

4. eutral – Provides natural color reproduc-

tion with no in-camera sharpening applied

— a good choice for images that will be

post-processed.

5. Faithful – Delivers the most accurate color

rendition when shooting in 5200° K (day-

light) lighting. No in-camera sharpening

is applied.

6. Monochrome – All parameters are optimized

for black-and-white photography.

Modifiable parameters in Picture Styles

include sharpness, contrast, color saturation,

color tone, filter effect and toning effect. To

create a custom Picture Style, the user can

start with one of the base style presets above

and modify it before saving as a user-defined

preset. or even greater creative control, use

the included Picture Style Editor software to

create a specific and unique user-defined style.

Recording Media Versatility

In addition to capturing to C cards, the EOS

5D Mark II can record to any external medium

using a USB interface — such as a USB hard

drive — via the optional Wireless ile

Transmitter W T-E4 II A or W T-E4A. In Standard

recording mode, the camera records to the

inserted C card. In Automatic Switching

mode, the camera will automatically switch to

a second connected medium when the first

medium becomes full to ensure uninterrupted

shooting. Using the Separate recording mode,

the user can assign different media to record

images with different recording quality (e.g.,

simultaneous JPEG and RAW capture, each on

its own dedicated medium). Multiple recording

mode puts simultaneous identical image files

on primary and secondary recording media. At

any time after capture, the user can backup

recorded images from one medium to another.

UDMA Recording

The EOS 5D Mark II is fully compatible with the

UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) C cards,

which provide faster write/read performance.

Important Capture Information

Every image cap-

tured is accompa-

nied by important

peripheral infor-

mation, including

the photograph-

er’s and copyright holder’s names. This infor-

mation is added to the EXI data, which are

recorded with each image. The EOS 5D Mark II

enables the information to be checked and, if

desired, deleted. Moreover, the information

can be edited and registered to the camera

using the EOS Utility.

For the ove of the Image

His life-long love of photography

took Rodney Charters from his

native New Zealand to the Soviet

Union and the Amazon. Later set-

tling in the U.S.A. with an eye for

television series, Charters worked

on the sets of

Nash Bridges

and

The Pretender

, and now serves as

director of photography for the

TV show

. To help achieve the

signature look of the show,

Canon EOS SLRs are at the ready.

Historic Images as They

Happen

In his documentary Gaza Strip, he

captured a city in chaos; in Iraq in

Fragments, the chaos enveloped

an entire country, and James

Longley caught it all for the world

to see, using his Canon EOS SLR

cameras to freeze-frame the polit-

ical and emotional landscape of

the Middle East. Tapping Canon

EOS technology to capture the

stories of people, cities and

countries, Longley brings the

chaotic into unflinching focus.

Superl tive Im ge Qu lity

The EOS 7D features a superb, Canon designed, 18.0

egapixel C OS sensor that incorporates a number of

significant refinements to enhance the capture of each

image. Thanks to advanced, in-house semiconductor

manufacturing, the EOS 7D’s sensor has more pixels than

any other APS-C sized sensor in the Canon lineup, with

less digital noise, a higher ISO sensitivity (up to 12800

in H mode) plus a wider dynamic range than previously

available. The EOS 7D employs a 14-bit converter to

process the output of the C OS sensor for smooth tonal

transitions, natural gradations and striking color fidelity.

The EOS 7D’s Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors help to

ensure that images are captured, processed and saved

with remarkable speed — up to 8.0 frames per second.

Full HD Video C pture

EOS 7D does not just shoot video clips, it

offers the enhanced image quality, smooth

frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation neces-

sary in a professional movie making tool. Shooting video

with the EOS 7D increases flexibility for the photogra-

pher by allowing full use of Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses,

including wide angle, macro, tilt-shift and fisheye, pro-

viding a wealth of depth-of-field and other creative

shooting options once reserved only for still photography.

By shooting video with a large sensor camera, it’s simple

to take advantage of the image quality and characteristics

intrinsic to SLR photography. Combined with its size,

image quality and flexibility, the EOS 7D is an all-in-one

image-capturing tool.

Profession l Level

Perform nce

Capable of shooting

up to 126 Large/JPEGs

with a UD A CF card

at 8.0 fps, the EOS 7D

is a perfect camera for

action. The EOS 7D is

outfitted with a rugged, rotary magnet shutter, which,

aided by the Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors, ensures

instant response and performance on par with most pro-

fessional cameras on the market while outpacing every

camera in its class. Featuring a revamped 19-point high-

precision, all cross-type AF point system with dedicated

microprocessors, the AF system helps to ensure the

fastest, most accurate AF under a wide variety of shoot-

ing conditions. The EOS 7D also has a broad range of ISO

settings, up to ISO 12800 in H mode, for finely-detailed

dawn-to-dusk shooting. RAW images are recorded at 14

bits so that processed 16-bit TIFF images contain the full

range of tonal values.

New Viewfinder, Intelligent New

Perspective

The EOS 7D features a bright, clear, completely

redesigned viewfinder that offers approximately 100%

coverage, 1x magnification, a glass pentaprism, a 29.4°

angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment. It

also features the new Intelligent Viewfinder, which super-

imposes important shooting tools, like a grid display or the

new Dual Axis Electronic Level, within the viewfinder.

Adv nced 19-point AF System

Canon EOS SLR cameras have consistently fea-

tured cutting-edge AF technologies; the EOS 7D takes them

a step further. The EOS 7D uses a brand new 19-point AF

all cross-type system providing tremendous AF coverage

and phenomenal control over focusing point selection.

Any of the 19 high-precision, cross-type AF points can be

selected automatically or manually. High-speed microcom-

puters in the EOS 7D use advanced algorithms that ensure

fast, accurate and responsive AF performance under the

widest variety of conditions. Focus tracking is on par with

the EOS-1D/1Ds series, and includes single point AF, a new

Spot AF mode, and AF point expansion where AF points

surrounding the one chosen can assist. The EOS 7D can

them automatically in both horizontal and vertical shooting

positions. The EOS 7D also has an all-new Zone AF system,

wherein one of five distinct focus zones can be chosen, par-

ticularly useful for off-center subjects. 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. AI SERVO II AF mode is excellent for moving sub-

jects; it precisely tracks subject movement across the wide

AF coverage area, automatically shifting the active focusing

point as required. AI FOCUS AF mode, which automatically

switches between One Shot and AI Servo AF modes based

on subject movement, is ideal for stop-and-go subjects. In

addition, Canon Light Source detection AF automatically

compensates the focus by taking into account

artificial lighting. The new AF algorithms used for

tracking performance in the EOS 7D camera are so

responsive that AI Servo II AF can even be used

when shooting with EF and EF-S acro lenses at

high magnification to help ensure that unpredictable

moving subjects, like a flower in a breeze, retain

sharp focus. No matter what mode chosen, the

EOS 7D’s autofocus is fast, reliable and versatile.

And with Canon’s Intelligent Viewfinder technology,

chosen AF points can be displayed or hidden easily

in the Intelligent Viewfinder.

Creative Possibilities with EF enses

With the introduction of Canon OS digital SLRs capable

of HD video capture, professional photographers, video-

graphers and cinematographers have an important new

tool. They have discovered not only convenience, but

also the very special qualities of Canon OS HD Video.

Shooting video with a large sensor camera takes advan-

tage of the image quality and characteristics intrinsic to

SLR photography. The OS 7D increases flexibility for the

photographer by allowing full use of Canon’s F and F-S

lenses, including wide angle, macro, tilt-shift and fish-eye,

providing creative options once reserved for stills.

Sophisticated Exposure Control

When shooting HD video, including Full HD

video, the OS 7D employs Center-Weighted

average metering for stable exposure. The Program A

mode automatically sets shutter speed (from 1/30 to

1/125 second), lens aperture and ISO speed. ISO is set to

100 for basic operation but, the full range up to 6400 (up

to 12800 with ISO expansion) is available for low-light

video shooting. As with still shooting, A lock is available

for video. xposure compensation is available in the

range of up to ±3 stops for movie shooting in 1/3- or 1/2-

stop increments. Full manual exposure control can also be

used. ISO speed can be set automatically or manually

between 100 and 6400. Shutter speed can be manually

set up to 1/4000 second. Minimum shutter speed is 1/30

sec. when shooting at 24/25/30 fps and 1/60 sec. at

50/60 fps. Available aperture settings are specific to the

lens used.

Full HD Video Capture

The OS 7D sets new standards for image

quality and professional versatility. It

supports a wide range of frame rates and video formats,

enabling photographers to tailor their raw footage to

specific needs and markets.

Advanced Shooting Capabilities

The OS 7D provides numerous image control and

enhancement features to help ensure the highest quality.

All of the white balance settings available for still

shooting can be used in video mode. Similarly, all

saved Picture Styles are available for video shooting,

including any created or modified using Canon Picture

Style ditor software. Both the Highlight Tone Priority

and Auto Lighting Optimizer features can be used while

shooting video. A still photo can be captured and saved

separately during video shooting by pressing the shutter

release button. The still image will be saved in the

same file format as for normal still shooting. Video

shooting will be interrupted — about one second of the

still image will be inserted at the point of capture — but

automatically resumes.

DOCUMENTARY

The 24p capability

of the camera is

game-changing for me.

I worked with the

Canon EOS 7D on a

documen-

tary shoot

in India,

and there

were

immediate advantages.

Working in 24p 1080

mode, we filmed in a

poor neighborhood

that experienced fre-

quent power cuts.

Because of its low-light

capability, we still

filmed beautiful

footage just using

reflected daylight com-

ing from outdoors —

even if the lights went

out. The video image

quality of the EOS 7D

is excellent.”

iFC Metering System

The Canon OS 7D features a new, multi-layer

63-zone iFCL (intelligent Focus Color Luminance)

Metering System to compliment the 19-point AF

system. By taking into account the color and

luminosity surrounding chosen AF point(s), this

new system delivers an entirely new level of meter-

ing accuracy with an ideal balance of foreground and

background information and natural color rendition no

matter the composition. Canon’s valuative metering

mode, using an all-new metering algorithm, utilizes

information from the OS 7D’s new AF system for more

precise and consistent results.

Canon Speedlites

The OS 7D is compatible with the current

generation of Canon Speedlite flashes.

Canon Speedlites feature

-TTL II ( valuative-

Through-the-Lens) tech-

nology that incorporates

distance information

from compatible F and

F-S lenses to help

ensure precise and accurate flash exposure control. Canon

X-series Speedlites provide simple wireless and automatic

multiple-flash capabilities for advanced lighting solutions

in a wide variety of shooting applications. The OS 7D fea-

tures an integrated Speedlite Transmitter with its built-in

flash that allows the photographer to wirelessly control an

unlimited number of X-series Speedlites.

Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E5A

Designed for the OS 7D, the WFT- 5A functions both as a

wireless file transmitter and auxiliary grip. Now supporting

5.2 GHz 802.11a/b/and g, it’s the fastest, most versatile

wireless transmitter around. The WFT- 5A allows the

OS 7D to wirelessly link up to 10 other WFT equipped

cameras as a Master camera. When the Master is fired,

the linked cameras are wirelessly triggered to fire in

unison. The WFT- 5A allows full access to the camera’s

ports and maintains weather resistance and durability

while offering reliable wired or wireless communication.

As a camera grip, the WFT- 5A has the same buttons as

Battery Grip BG- 7.

Full HD Video Capture

Compact and boasting some of the most

advanced OS movie capturing features to

date, the OS 7D offers the enhanced image quality,

smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation

necessary in a professional movie-making tool. The OS 7D

enables easy manual control of exposure, focus and Live

View features and even allows for in-camera editing. The

large CMOS sensor and compatibility with over 60 lenses

provide a wealth of depth-of-field options.

18.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor and

Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors

The OS 7D features a powerful, Canon designed, 18.0

Megapixel CMOS sensor that incorporates a number of

significant refinements to enhance image capture. Thanks

to advanced, in-house semiconductor manufacturing, the

OS 7D’s sensor has more pixels than any other APS-C

sized sensor in the Canon lineup, less digital noise, a

higher ISO sensitivity (up to 12800 in H mode) plus a wider

dynamic range. The OS 7D employs a 14-bit converter to

process the output of the CMOS sensor for smooth tonal

transitions, natural gradations and striking color fidelity.

The OS 7D’s Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors help to ensure

that images are captured, processed and saved with remark-

able speed — up to 8 frames per second for approximately

126 consecutive Large/JP Gs and approximately 15

consecutive RAWs with a UDMA CF card.

Extraordinary ISO Range

The low-noise performance of the CMOS sensor

combined with the noise reduction capabilities

of the Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors allows the OS 7D

to have an exceptional ISO range: 100–6400 in standard

mode, 50–12800 in extended range mode. This provides

the photographer with many more shooting options in a

wide range of real-world shooting situations — in particular,

available-light shooting capabilities never before avail-

able with APS-C sensor size OS SLRs. While the higher

end of the camera’s ISO range is important for low-light

shooting, performance at the low end of the ISO scale is

just as important: A lower ISO setting is useful when

shooting brightly lit scenes with fast lenses.

Metering System

The OS 7D features a

new technology from

Canon, the iFCL (intelligent Focus

Color Luminance) Metering System

with a 63 zone dual-layer metering

sensor to compliment the 19-point

all cross-type AF system. This new

system delivers an entirely new

level of metering accuracy with an

ideal balance of foreground and background information

and natural color rendition no matter the composition.

Advanced 14-bit A/D Conversion

Whereas many digital cameras use 12-bit A/D converters,

the OS 7D employs superb 14-bit per channel converters

to process the output of the imaging sensor. This means

there are 16,384 distinct brightness steps from the darkest

to brightest tone (vs. 4,096 previously) for smoother

tonal transitions and more natural gradations. RAW

images are recorded at the full 14 bits, and once

processed will preserve the entire range of tones when

opened in Photoshop's 16-bit color space.

Unique Video C pture

Adv nt ges

With the ability of the EOS 7D’s ovie

mode in capturing 1920 x 1080 Full HD video,

photographers, videographers and cinematographers have

discovered the very special qualities of Canon EOS HD Video.

With a large-format Canon C OS imaging sensor — larger

than a single frame of cinema-format 35mm film — and

using the range of superb Canon EF and EF-S lenses, the

new EOS 7D produces HD video with exquisite depth-of-

field characteristics, remarkable capture capability under

poor lighting conditions and deep, noise-less blacks.

Fr me R tes nd Recording Options

The EOS 7D makes available a wide range

of frame rates and video formats: For Full HD (1920 x

1080), the available frame rates are 30 (29.970) fps for

NTSC, 25 fps for PAL, and 24 (23.976) fps for cinematog-

raphy, for up to 4GB per clip. For Standard HD (1280 x

720), the available frame rates are 60 (59.940) fps for

NTSC and 50 fps for PAL. For SD (VGA – 640 x 480), the

available frame rates are 60 (59.940) fps for NTSC and

50 fps for PAL. Video is captured with progressive scan-

ning and recorded in the OV format ( PEG-4 AVC/H.264

video, uncompressed linear PC audio) using a variable

bit rate. All video formants, including Full HD Video, can

be viewed on an HDTV via the HD I output.

M nu l Exposure Control

The more control the photographer or filmmaker has over

the technical aspects of a shoot, the more refined the final

“

COMMERCIAL/TV

product. The EOS 7D

offers completely

flexible exposure control

for its movie modes, allowing for

complete creative control. Exposure can

be determined and set even in complex lighting

situations, maintaining the same look and feel through

an entire scene, and minimizing the internal camera noise

that can occur when the aperture changes due to exposure

adjustment mid-clip.

Rethought Button and

Control ayout

The OS 7D raises the ergonomics

bar with refined curves, changes in

the placement of buttons and ele-

gant materials that make shooting both intuitive and fun.

The OS 7D’s power switch, now located on the upper left

of the camera, is separate from the Quick Control Dial switch.

A new dedicated button switches on the Quick Control

screen, a JP G/ RAW button makes for quick switches in

image quality settings, and the Live View/Movie mode

lever starts, stops and switches between Movie and Live

View modes. The new Custom Control screen even allows

the photographer to remap and rearrange the functions of

most of the OS 7D’s buttons to customize the camera’s

features and precisely match their specific shooting style.

Combined with an entirely new coating, plus recessed con-

trols, the OS 7D is faster and easier to use than anything

that came before it.

Built for the Elements

Canon’s decades of camera-making

experience mean nothing less than real-

world performance and durability that

is second to none. The OS 7D is con-

structed of the highest quality materials, to exacting stan-

dards, to ensure unfettered performance at all times. For

example, the shutter can shoot at speeds up to 1/8000

sec for up to 150,000 cycles; the chassis is built of light-

weight and rigid magnesium, and the camera’s seals are

made to resist water and dust. This ensures the OS 7D

will be ready for anything and will remain comfortable in

the hand even after a full day of use. With the optional

Battery Grip BG- 7 nearly doubles the battery life of the

OS 7D, while offering advanced operability and seam-

less integration with the camera’s design. Designed to

accommodate one or two LP- 6 batteries, or AA batteries

with battery magazine BGM- 6, the BG- 7 increases flexi-

bility on the go. With a vertical shutter release button,

plus A lock and Multi-Function button, it makes vertical

shooting a breeze. Made with the same grip coating and

dust resistance as that on the OS 7D’s body, the BG- 7

is the perfect accessory for the OS 7D.

High-resolution 3.0-inch

The OS 7D fea-

tures a brilliant

3.0-inch LCD

monitor with

approximately

920,000 dots

for high-resolu-
