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).
The viewfinder has 9 AF points. By selecting a suitable AF point, you can shoot with autofocus while framing the subject as desired. You can also select the AF mode and drive mode best matching the shooting conditions and subject.
The asterisk M on the right of the page title indicates that the respective feature is available only in Creative Zone modes (d, s, f, a, 8). In the Basic Zone modes, the AF mode, AF point selection, and drive mode are set automatically.
<f> stands for auto focus. <MF> stands for manual focus.
f: Selecting the AF ModeN
Select the AF mode suiting the shooting conditions or subject. In the Basic Zone modes, the optimum AF mode is set automatically.
On the lens, set the focus mode switch to <f>.

One-Shot AF for Still Subjects
Suited for still subjects. When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus only once. When focus is achieved, the AF point which achieved focus will flash in red, and the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will also light. With evaluative metering, the exposure setting will be set at the same time focus is achieved. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the focus will be locked. You can then recompose the shot if desired. In the Creative Zone modes, AF is also possible by pressing the <p> button.
If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed completely. Recompose the picture and try and focus again. Or see When Autofocus Fails (p.80). If the [1 Beep] menu is set to [Off], the beeper will not sound when focus is achieved.
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects
This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. While you hold down the shutter button halfway, the subject will be focused continuously. The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken. In the Creative Zone modes, AF is also possible by pressing the <p> button. When the AF point selection is automatic (p.78), the camera first uses the center AF point to focus. During autofocusing, if the subject moves away from the center AF point, focus tracking continues as long as the subject is covered by another AF point.

Since bulb exposures have more noise than usual, the image may look rough or grainy. When [8C.Fn II -1] (Long exp. noise reduction) is set to [1:Auto] or [2:On], noise generated by the bulb exposure can be reduced. (p.156) For bulb exposures, using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.

U LCD Panel Illumination

Each time you press the <U> button, the LCD panel illumination will turn on or off (9). During a bulb exposure, pressing the shutter button completely will turn off the LCD panel illumination.

Using the Eyepiece Cover

If you take a picture without looking at the viewfinder, light entering the eyepiece can throw off the exposure. To prevent this, use the eyepiece cover attached to the camera strap.

Remove the eyecup.

From the bottom of the eyecup, push it upward.

Connecting the Remote Switch
You can connect Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) or any EOS accessory equipped with an N3-type terminal to the camera and shoot with it. To operate the accessory, refer to its instruction manual.

Connect the plug as shown in the illustration. To disconnect the plug, grasp the plugs silver part and pull out.

Mirror LockupN

Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups. When [8C.Fn III -7] (Mirror lockup) is set to [1:Enable] (p.160), shooting with mirror lockup will be possible.
Focus the subject, press the shutter button completely and release it.
The mirror will swing up.
2 Press the shutter button completely again.
The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
In very bright light such as at the beach or ski slope on a sunny day, take the picture promptly after mirror lockup. During mirror lockup, do not point the camera lens at the sun. The suns heat can scorch and damage the shutter curtains. If you use bulb exposures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the 2-sec./10-sec. self-timer countdown, there will be a shutterrelease sound. This is not the actual shutter release (no picture is taken). When [1:Enable] is set, single shooting will take effect even if the drive mode is continuous. When the self-timer is set to <j> or <l>, the picture will be taken after 10 sec. or 2 sec. respectively. The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down automatically. For mirror lockup shots, using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both sold separately) is recommended.

Using Non-Canon Flash Units

Sync Speed

The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/ 250 sec. or slower shutter speeds. With large studio flash, the sync speed is 1/60 sec. or slower. Be sure to test the flash unit beforehand to make sure it synchronizes properly with the camera.

PC Terminal

The cameras PC terminal is provided for flash units having a sync cord. The PC terminal is threaded to prevent inadvertent disconnection. The cameras PC terminal has no polarity. You can connect any sync cord regardless of its polarity.
Cautions for Live View shooting
When using a non-Canon flash unit for Live View shooting, set the [6 Live View function settings] menus [Silent shoot.] to [Disable] (p.113). The flash will not fire if it is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].
If the camera is used with a flash unit or flash accessory dedicated to another camera brand, the camera may not operate properly and malfunction may result. Do not connect to the cameras PC terminal any flash unit requiring 250 V or more. Do not attach a high-voltage flash unit on the cameras hot shoe. It might not work. A flash unit attached to the cameras hot shoe and a flash unit connected to the PC terminal can both be used at the same time.

Live View Shooting

You can shoot while viewing a real-time image on the cameras LCD monitor or on a personal computer screen. This is called Live View shooting.
When using Live View shooting, using a hard disk-type CF card (such as MicroDrive) is not recommended. If Live View shooting is done under direct sunlight or other hightemperature environments, the < > icon (warning for high temperature in the camera) may appear on the screen. If Live View shooting continues with a high internal temperature, it may degrade image quality. You should therefore stop Live View shooting if the warning icon appears. If Live View shooting continues while the < > warning icon is displayed and the cameras internal temperature increases, the Live View shooting will stop automatically. Shooting will be disabled until the cameras internal temperature decreases.

In the same way as during normal shooting through the viewfinder, you can set the shooting functions (drive mode, ISO speed, Picture Style, white balance, exposure compensation, AE lock, flash exposure compensation, etc.). If you change the shooting mode during Live View image display, the Live View image display will quit.
Only the metering mode cannot be changed. Focusing frame-linked evaluative metering with the image sensor will take effect. Continuous shooting is possible. With the [6 Live View function settings] menus [Metering timer], you can change how long the metered exposure setting is to be retained. The focus preset feature on super telephoto lenses cannot be used.
Magnifying the Image for Manual Focusing

3 Focus manually.the Live View image While looking at
on the LCD monitor, turn the lenss focusing ring to focus manually.
High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause noise or irregular colors in the captured image shot with Live View shooting. During continuous shooting, the exposure set for the first shot will also be applied to subsequent shots. If you recompose during continuous shooting, the exposure might not match the latter shots. If the camera is not operated for a prolonged period, the power will turn off automatically as set with [5 Auto power off]. (p.42) While the image is magnified, pressing the <A> button will not renew the exposure setting. During the 5x or 10x magnified view, the image sharpness may be applied to a higher degree than what was set. This is to make it easier to focus manually.

You can check the exposure and depth of field by pressing the depth-offield preview button. Flash photography is also possible. However, FE lock are not possible. With the 580EX II, the wireless setting cannot be changed. Under low light or bright light conditions, the Live View image might not display the proper brightness. However, the captured image will reflect the exposure setting. If there is a very bright light source in the picture, such as the sun, the bright area might be blackened on the LCD monitor. However, the actual captured image will correctly show the bright area. When flash is used, there will be two shutter sounds, but only one shot will be taken.

DIGIC III

14-bit Depth for Greater Color Range
With the EOS 40D, analog to digital signal conversion is executed by a 14-bit processor (16,384 tones), which generates digital data of fine gradation without tonal skipping. Canons proprietary RAW and new small RAW (sRAW) images take full advantage of this rich 14-bit gradation and can be processed with Canons Digital Photo Professional software. JPEG images with 8 bits per color derived from 14-bit data are provided in four sizes (10.1MP, 8.0MP, 5.3MP or 2.5MP), which also are available in the EOS 40Ds RAW + JPEG mode.
EOS 40Ds Highlight Tone Priority feature minimizes the loss of highlight detail. Along with Canons CMOS sensor, exclusive DIGIC III Image Processor and 14-bit A/D converter, images will have the greatest of detail with the widest possible tonal range.

Tremendous Power for Low Light Photography
This camera has an extensive ISO range (from 100 to ISO Speed Selection Screen 1600 plus ISO 3200* in extended mode) which is selectable in 1/3-stop increments. The sensor features a newly developed set of narrowgap microlenses and noise reduction circuits to improve performance at high ISOs, and optimized photodiode configurations for improved performance at all ISOs. Its simply more efficient, and that translates into better images.
nated by how Nature repeats herself. Like all living creatures, flowers have their very distinct personalities and similar to making a portrait of a person, when photographing flowers I am challenged to capture something of their individual personalities, moods and gestures.
Highlights Preserved for Improved Detail
Highlight Tone Priority feature extends the EOS 40Ds tonal range of bright areas, minimizing loss in highlight detail. This vital Custom Function
different white balance modes are featured for specific lighting conditions. Where you used to have to change White Balance Selection Screen films or attach expensive filters to compensate for light temperature, the EOS 40D does it all automatically. Presets for daylight, shade, overcast situations, indoor tungsten and fluorescent light, plus flash, custom, color temperature and white balance bracketing ensure accurate whites and colors anytime.
Automated Brightness and Contrast Correction
When shooting in basic automatic modes, the EOS 40D has a new Auto Brightness/Contrast Correction feature that adjusts less-than perfect exposures to ensure both proper dark and highlight points in the image, as well as optimal contrast. This feature is perfect for underexposed scenes, as one might get on the beach or in snow, in situations where the flash is not powerful enough and in hazy, overcast situations with little or no contrast.

Built for Powerful Performance

Always Ready to Shoot

Turn the EOS 40D on, and its ready to go in a scant 0.15 sec. If you wait before focusing, the EOS 40Ds Self Cleaning Sensor is automatically activated, ensuring no dust interferes with the next photo.
Solid, Magnesium Construction
The EOS 40D has a solid, substantial feel that complements its compact dimensions. Designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use, it is constructed with lightweight and ultra-rigid magnesium-alloy that fits perfectly in your hands.

Rugged Inside and Out

When you demand flawless performance again and again, choose the EOS 40D. It has a high-speed shutter unit, designed to respond in an instant, reaching a top shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. and tested to withstand a remarkable 100,000-cycle shutter life. A top flash sync speed of 1/250 sec. ensures full flash flexibility, in bright or dim light.

Dust Control, Guaranteed

Canon listens to
photographers needs and has built an imaging system second to none, and a system that is a natural extension of the way I want to work. Canon equipment is so user friendly, it never gets in the way of making great images.
Canons Newest Digital Powerhouse
Developed to maximize performance between the capture and recording stages of digital photography, the EOS 40Ds III Image Processor is faster and more powerful than ever. This latest-generation III Image Processor works in concert with Canons CMOS sensor to achieve even higher levels of performance. Its a key reason for both the EOS 40Ds incredible speed and improved image quality. Color reproduction and noise reduction in low light situations are dramatically improved.

As Fast As The Action

The EOS 40D is the fastest digital SLR ever offered at this price level. It shoots as fast as an incredible 6.5 fps, making it ideal for everything from wildlife to sports. And thats for up to 75 JPEGs, or 17 RAW images in one burst. Whether it's the 0.15-second startup time, the high-speed mirror drive, the brief shutter lag time (only 59 msec.), or the predictive AF focusing for capturing the action, the EOS 40D will get you your shot.

The EOS 40Ds Self Cleaning Sensor Unit combats stray dust that can enter the camera when changing a lens or in dusty conditions. The sensors front low-pass filter is cleaned automatically with ultrasonic vibrations every time the camera is turned on or off. Removed dust adheres to material around the filter to ensure it stays off. Dust missed by the cameras cleaning unit can be EOS Integrated Cleaning System
removed by Canons software solution and Dust Delete Data test shot, which identifies the location and size of dust spots on the image file and erases them.* This onetwo punch of both hardware and software protection ensures a dust free image, saving hours of time in post-production.

AF Sensor Configuration

Focusing sensors for extreme defocus High-precision diagonal cross-type center sensor
Some of the most advanced features from Canons professional cameras are incorporated into the EOS 40Ds design. Each of its nine AF points is now a full cross-type sensor, when lenses f/5.6 or faster are used. Its better than ever at grabbing focus on tough subjects without much detail. Sensitivity is a stunning EV-0.5 to EV18. The center AF point holds a worlds first: two diagonal, high-precision line sensors, in addition to the standard crosstype sensors. Theyre active with any lens f/2.8 or faster, giving more accuracy and precise AF. The camera has a number of focus modes, including One-Shot AF, AI Focus AF, AI Servo AF and manual. Focus now can be engaged with the EOS 40Ds new AF Start button, and all focus points can
All the choices the advanced photographer could want. 35-zone Evaluative metering is ideal for quick shooting with auto exposure. The EOS 40D also has a spot meter, which analyzes 3.8% of the composition, perfect for ultra-precise metering. Center-weighted average metering measures the entire composition, yet places emphasis on the center of the image. With partial metering, 9% of the image is metered. With these versatile metering options, its always easy to get the right exposure.

Custom Film Characteristics, Easily
Canons Picture Style settings are also incorporated in the EOS 40D. These simulate the characteristics of different film styles, allowing you to customize your shooting

Fast, Easy and Wireless

The perfect complement to Canons EOS 40D, the new EOS 40D with WFT-E3A Wireless File Transfer Unit WFT-E3A attaches directly to the camera. Sleek, with an integral antenna, the WFT-E3A does double duty, functioning both as a WFT unit and an integrated camera grip with controls for vertical shooting. The WFT-E3A is speedy, with 802.11b/g wireless compatibility and offers FTP, PTP and HTTP communication modes, so its ready to transmit, no matter the shooting situation. It also offers a newly enhanced graphic user interface, simplifying the configuration of both wired and wireless networks and can connect to both a GPS unit and or a hard drive for enhanced function.
Excellent Flash Photography
Whether using its flush-mounted integral flash (guide no. of 43 ft./13m at ISO 100), or any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, the EOS 40D features Canons E-TTL II Flash Metering for reliable flash output through numerous exposures and configurations. Speedlites like Canons 580EX II are perfectly suited to the EOS 40D, automatically compensating for the cameras sensor size, enabling higher output flash, with more flashes per charge. The 580EX II has an AF-assist Beam and automatically sends color temperature information to the camera to maintain consistent, accurate white balance.

Automated Black Ink Cartridge Switching
The ink set includes Black and Matte Black, only one of which will be used depending on output media selection. While other printers require the user to perform an inconvenient and wasteful manual operation to flush unused ink and switch cartridges, the imagePROGRAF printers automate the process. With both Black ink cartridges loaded and live at all times, the switchover is fast and wasteless, performed with a simple push of a button.
FINE Print Head Technology
Canons high-precision FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads each have thousands of nozzles designed to release microscopic ink droplets as small as 1 picoliter in a single pass, resulting in fast, high resolution printing. Capable of plotting thousands of ink droplets each second, the high-density nozzle pitch produces sharper detail and less grain.
Canons 17-inch, wide-format imagePROGRAF iPF5100 features the exclusive LUCIA 12-color pigment ink set that yields a tremendous range of colors and grays. For smooth, detailed color and black and white images, no matter the media. Canons FINE photo-lithographic heads ensure accurate plotting of even the finest details thanks to over 30,000 nozzles. Matte Black ink and Black ink cartridges are both loaded in the printer at the same time, enabling automatic switching without wasting time or ink.

LUCIA 12-Color Ink Set

The 12-color Canon LUCIA ink set delivers a substantially wider color gamut than competitive printers. The far greater range of available colors produces richer, more vibrant prints with significantly reduced metamerism Canon LUCIA Ink set vs. RGB (the perceived shift of color Adobe RC Photogloss L-50 Canon balance when viewing prints under different lighting conditions). The ink set includes three levels of grayBlack, Gray, and Photo Grayto deliver black-and-white photo prints of exceptional tonal detail. The inks are pigment-based, ensuring long-lasting prints with excellent archival characteristics. imagePROGRAF printers ship with a starter set of all 12 inks.

Unsurpassed Output Media Selection
Canon imagePROGRAF printers include support for a wide range of papers and specialty output media, such as RC photo papers, transparent film, and fine art papers. Superior carriage design enables the printer to handle a wide range of media thicknesses and finishes. Moreover, the Media Configuration Tool supplied with the printer enables users to update the software, using a periodically published database, to accommodate new Canon and other popular media as they become available.

10-Color Pigment Ink System
Featuring the same LUCIA pigment ink found in the imagePROGRAF printers, the PIXMA Pro9500s 10-color pigment ink set produces professionalquality, archival prints. The Gray, Photo Black and Matte Black ink produce monochrome photographs of unrivaled quality on fine art and glossy paper. Gray ink reduces grain, banding and metamerism and virtually eliminates color shifts. Unlike Black ink that increases contrast, Matte Black ink increases black density on fine art papter while maintaining detail in shadows. With 10 individual ink tanks, users can replace a single color, reducing waste and saving money. Since the Pro9500s ink is less sensitive to light and environmental factors, prints have incredibly smooth gradations and are archival.

16-Bit Printing Support

While conventional inkjet printers are 8-bit-perchannel devices, requiring a conversion from 16 bits somewhere along the workflow, the imagePROGRAF printers provide advanced direct output support for 16-bit files. A supplied plugin enables printing of 16-bit RAW images directly from Digital Photo Professional software. Also included is an export module for direct printing of 16-bit files from Adobe Photoshop. These features provide the photographer with the first true wide-dynamic-range workflow option from capture to output. Images are reproduced with smoother tonal gradations for
For the highest quality color and grayscale photographs, up to 13" x 19", one needs to look no further than the PIXMA Pro9500.
