AF Sensitivity and Lens Maximum Aperture
The EOS-1Ds Mark IIs AF points are all horizontal-line sensitive. However, bright lenses with a large maximum aperture enable certain AF points to work as cross-type sensors for higher AF precision. (1) With lenses whose maximum aperture is f/2.8 or larger, the AF points highlighted in the diagram will work as cross-type sensors sensitive to both vertical and horizontal lines. The remaining 38 AF points will only be horizontal-line sensitive. The cross-type sensors vertical-line sensitivity is about three times higher than its horizontal-line sensitivity. (2) With the following L-series lenses whose maximum aperture is f/4 or brighter, the center AF point will be a cross-type sensor with or without an Extender attached. The remaining 44 AF points will only be horizontal-line sensitive (except with EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM + Extender EF 1.4x).

3Highlight Alert

Set the <x> menus [Highlight alert] to [On]. This will display the highlight alert on the shooting information and single image displays. Any overexposed areas will blink. To obtain more image detail in the overexposed areas, set the exposure compensation to a negative amount and shoot again.

3AF Point Display

When the <x> menus [Display AF points] is [On], the AF point(s) used to achieve focus will be shown on the shooting information display. (p.34) If the image was taken in the One-Shot AF mode, the AF point which achieved focus will be displayed. If automatic AF point selection was used, you may see multiple AF points which achieved focus. If AI Servo AF was used, the selected AF point will be displayed.

3Histogram

With the <x> menu, you can set [Histogram display] to [Bright.] or [RGB].

[Bright.] Display

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the images brightness level. The horizontal axis indicates the brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker the image. And the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter the image. If there are too many pixels on the left, the shadow detail will be lost. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the highlight detail will be lost. The tones in-between will be reproduced. By checking the images brightness histogram, you can see the exposure level bias and the overall tone reproduction condition. Sample

This histogram is a graph showing the distribution of the images brightness level of each primary color (RGB or red, blue, and green). The horizontal axis indicates the colors brightness level (darker on the left and brighter on the right), while the vertical axis indicates how many pixels exist for each color brightness level. The more pixels there are toward the left, the darker and less prominent the color. And the more pixels there are toward the right, the brighter and denser the color. If there are too many pixels on the left, the respective color information will be lacking. And if there are too many pixels on the right, the color will be too saturated with no detail. By checking the images RGB histogram, you can see the colors saturation and gradation condition and white balance bias.

Safety Warnings

Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage.
Preventing Serious Injury or Death
To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below: - Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries. - Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock. - Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ ). Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries. - Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range of 0C - 40C (32F - 104F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time. - Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc. Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.) When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion. If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a fire. If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately. During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock. Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock. Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident. Do not fire the flash near a persons eyes. It may impair the persons vision. When using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away. Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and fire. Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire.

Installing and Removing the Memory Card
The camera can use a CF card and SD card. Images can be recorded with at least one memory card installed in the camera. If both card slots have a card, you can select which card to record images with or record the same images simultaneously on both cards. (p.73) If you use an SD card, be sure the write protect switch is set upward to enable writing/erasing.

Installing a Card

the right slot is for the SD card. With the CF card, face the label side toward you as shown in the diagram and insert the end with the small holes into the camera. If the CF card is inserted in the wrong way, it may damage the camera. The CF card eject button will stick out. With the SD card, insert it until it clicks into place.

Set the white balance bracketing amount.
In step 2 for white balance correction, when you turn the <5> dial, the mark on the screen will change to (3 points). Turning the dial to the right sets the B/A bracketing, and turning it to the left sets the M/G bracketing. On the right side of the screen, BKT indicates the bracketing direction and the bracketing amount is also displayed. Press <0> to exit and return to the menu. To cancel the bracketing, set BKT to 0 ( becomes (1 point)).

B/A bias 3 levels

Bracketing Sequence
Correct white balance, blue (B) bias, and amber (A) bias. Or, correct white balance, magenta (M) bias, and green (G) bias.
During WB bracketing, the maximum burst for continuous shooting will be lower and the number of possible shots will also decrease to one-third the normal number. Also, the white balance icon will blink on the rear LCD panel. You can also set white balance correction and AEB together with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot. Since three images are recorded for one shot, the memory card will take longer to record the shot. BKT stands for Bracketing.
3 Setting the Color Space
The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommended.

Select [Color space].

Under the [1] tab, select [Color space], then press <0>.
the color space. 2 SetSelectdesiredor [Adobe RGB], then [sRGB]

press <0>.

About Adobe RGB
This is mainly used for commercial printing and other industrial uses. This setting is not recommended if you do not know about image processing, Adobe RGB, and Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21). Since the image will look very subdued with sRGB personal computer environment and printers not compatible with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 (Exif 2.21), post-processing of the image with software will be required.
If the captured image was shot in the Adobe RGB color space, the first character in the file name will be an underscore _. The ICC profile is not appended. The ICC profile is explained in the Software Instruction Manual (CD-ROM).
Selecting the Media, Folder, and Recording Method

This Instruction Manual assumes that a CF card or SD card is in the camera. When an external media is used via the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2/E2A (optional), the <u> icon will appear as the third recording media. It can be selected in the same way as with the CF card <f> and SD card <g>.

Selecting a Memory Card

If only the CF card <f> or SD card <g> is in the camera, the memory card for recording will be selected automatically. If both the CF and SD cards are in the camera, you can select the card for recording images as follows:
Press the <B> button once or twice to display the memory card and image size on the rear LCD panels left. Card/Image size z WB

If the recording method (p.74) has been set to [Rec. separately] [Rec. to multiple], the image will be recorded to both the CF and SD cards. The selection will then specify which card to playback the images. You can also use the [5 Record func+media/folder sel.] menus [Record/play] ([Playback]) option to select the memory card used for image recording and playback.
3 Setting the Recording Method
You can set how the image is recorded to the memory card.

recording method, then press <0>. Standard When both memory cards are in the camera, the selected card will record the images. Auto switch media When both memory cards are in the camera, the selected card will record the images. Then when the card becomes full, the camera will automatically switch to the other card to record images. Rec. separately Each image is recorded to both the CF and SD cards. The image size (3/4/5/6/1/9) to be recorded can be set individually for each card. (p.52) For example, you can record a JPEG image to both cards or a RAW image to one card and sRAW to the other card. Rec. to multiple Each image is recorded to both the CF and SD cards simultaneously. 1+JPEG or 9+JPEG can also be selected. (p.52)
When [Auto switch media] is set, the card for recording will switch from f to g. When [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to multiple] is set, the image will be recorded under the same file number in both the CF and SD cards. The number of shots remaining displayed on the top LCD panel and in the viewfinder is based on the card having less capacity than the other card. If one of the cards becomes full, [Card* full] will be displayed and shooting will be disabled. If this happens, either replace the card or set the recording method to [Standard] or [Auto switch media]. If there is a card with remaining space, shooting can continue.

Operate the <5> dial or <9> to move the and select the desired character. Then press <0> to enter it. Enter the required number of alphanumeric characters, then press the <M> button. The new file name will be registered and the screen in step 2 will reappear.
registered file 4 Select the <5> dial to selectname. Turn the [File
name], then press <0>. Turn the <5> dial to select the registered file name. If User setting2 has been registered, select *** (the 3 characters registered) + image size.

About User setting2

When you select the *** + image size registered with User setting2 and take pictures, the image size character will be automatically appended as the file names fourth character from the left. The meaning of the file name characters is as follows: *** L = 3 (JPEG Large), 1 ***M = 4 (JPEG Medium1) *** N = 5 (JPEG Medium2) *** S = 6 (JPEG Small), 9 When the image is transferred to a personal computer, the automatically appended fourth character will be included. You can then see the image size without having to open the image. The image type (RAW, sRAW, JPEG) can be distinguished with the extension. The first character cannot be an underscore _. The extension will be.JPG for JPEG images and.CR2 for RAW and sRAW images.

3 File Numbering Methods

The 4-digit file number is like the frame number on a roll of film. The captured images are (Ex.) 7E3B0001.jpg assigned a sequential file number from 0001 to 9999 and saved to one folder. You can also change how the file number is assigned.

Select [File numbering].

Under the [5] tab, select [File numbering], then press <0>.
file 2 Select the <5>numbering method. Turn the dial to select the
desired method, then press <0>.

Continuous

Continues the file numbering sequence even after the memory card is replaced or a new folder is created. Even after you replace the memory card or create a new folder, the file numbering continues in sequence up to 9999. This is convenient when you want to save the images numbered anywhere between 0001 to 9999 in multiple cards or folders into one folder in your personal computer. If the replacement memory card or existing folder already contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or folder. If you want to save images with continuous file numbering, use a newly formatted memory card each time.

Auto Reset

The file numbering restarts from 0001 each time the memory card is replaced or a new folder is created. Whenever the memory card is replaced or a new folder created, the file numbering starts from 0001. This is convenient if you want to organize images according to memory cards or folders. If the replacement memory card or existing folder already contains images recorded previously, the file numbering of the new images might continue from the file numbering of the existing images in the card or folder. If you want to save images with the file numbering starting from 0001, use a newly formatted memory card each time.
100 XXXX0051 XXXX0001 XXXX0051

101 XXXX0001

Manual Reset
The file numbering starts from 0001 in the new folder. When you reset the file numbering manually, a new folder is created automatically and the file numbering of images saved to that folder starts from 0001. This is convenient when you want to use different folders for the images taken yesterday and the ones taken today, for example. After the manual reset, the file numbering returns to continuous or auto reset.
The Area AF has 45 AF points (19 high-precision cross-type points and 26 Assist AF points). You can select any one of the 19 cross-type points to match your composition. You can also select the AF mode to match the shooting conditions and subject and select the best drive mode.
