IV. DISCUSSION OF NEW AND IMPROVED FEATURES
New 21.1 Megapixel, Full Frame CMOS Sensor The 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor of the EOS-1Ds Mark III has been developed and manufactured by Canon. Its 6.4m pixels take advantage of a host of Canon R&D advances to achieve its speed, resolution and image quality. The following features make the EOS-1Ds Mark III the highest performing digital AF SLR camera: 35mm full-frame digital AF SLR with the worlds highest resolution, approximately 21.1 megapixels* Wide ISO speed range (ISO 100- 1600, L: 50, H: 3200) Low noise (same level as EOS-1Ds Mark II) High-speed signal reading (approximately 5 fps) Low power consumption Live View Function
*For 24x36mm format as of August 20, 2007.
CMOS Sensor (Actual Size)
Although the pixel size is about the same as that of the EOS 30D, the ISO speed range is the same as that of the EOS-1Ds Mark II.

By optimizing the gap between the on-chip microlenses, reducing the height from the photodiode to the microlens, and improving the fill factor (photo diode area divided by pixel size) by applying the micro-rule that improves the performance of the exposure device, light-gathering efficiency has been improved.

Also, the second-generation, on-chip noise removal circuit and a newly-developed noise reduction technology combine to remove noise effectively. To achieve even less noise, the EOS-1Ds Mark III has a new output amp that attains both high speed and low noise. Low noise is also achieved with an improved manufacturing process, optimized pixel amp, and optimized reading circuit. Thanks to optimized photo diode construction and finer processing, the photo diode can still accumulate enough light to function exceptionally well. At low ISO speeds, the dynamic range is about the same as that of the EOS-1Ds Mark II. As with the EOS-1D Mark III, single-line, 8-channel parallel reading is employed. With a low-noise, high-speed output amp, a continuous shooting speed of approximately 5 fps is attained, even with approximately 21.1 megapixels with which to contend.

Dichroic mirror (Reflects infrared rays) Infrared-absorbing glass

CMOS sensor

The infrared, low-pass hybrid filter in front of the sensor consists of an infrared-absorption glass (including multiple coatings to reflect ultraviolet and infrared rays) and low-pass filter (phase plate sandwiched by two single-crystal plates). Other than optimization for the full-frame CMOS sensor, the specifications are the same as for the EOS-1D Mark III. Autofocus
Low-pass filter (Separates image in vertical direction) Phaser layer (Converts linear polarized light into circular polarized light) Low-pass filter (Separates image in horizontal direction)
The state-of-the-art AF sensor in the EOS-1Ds Mark III is shared with the EOS-1D Mark III. The AI SERVO AF algorithm has been optimized to match the continuous shooting speed of the EOS-1Ds Mark III, approximately 5 fps. Also, due to the full-frame CMOS sensor, the Area AF coverage with respect to the viewfinder is slightly smaller than with the EOS-1D Mark III. The AF speed and predictive AF performance are the same as with the EOS-1D Mark III. All other AF-related specifications not mentioned here are also the same as the best-inclass EOS-1D Mark III.

All other EF lenses take full advantage of the AF sensor. Image Recording and Processing All basic specifications related to image processing such as Dual DIGIC III Image Processors, 14-bit A/D conversion, and DDR SDRAM are the same as those of the EOS-1D Mark III.

The number of pixels for all image sizes is about double that of the EOS-1D Mark III. The recorded resolution can be set to any one of six sizes. For JPEGs, the compression rate can be set to one of 10 settings for each image size, a feature shared with the EOS-1D Mark III. The sRAW or Small RAW setting that was originally introduced with the EOS-1D Mark III becomes even more useful with the EOS-1Ds Mark III, since the resolution in sRAW is 5.3 megapixels with the new camera.

* The number of possible shots (battery life) and continuous shooting speed are based on Canon's testing standards and a 2 GB CF card. * Under Maximum burst, the number in parentheses is the maximum burst with a UDMA-compatible 2 GB CF card used in Canon's tests. * JPEG quality 8, ISO 100, the Standard Picture Style and initial Custom Function settings. * The actual file size of one image, number of possible shots (battery life), and maximum burst during continuous shooting vary depending on the subject, memory card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Function settings, etc.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III is compatible with UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access), a new CF card specification (CompactFlash Specifications Revision 4.0) enabling high-speed writing to the CF card. With a UDMA CF card, the high-speed data transfer is about twice as fast as the EOS-1D Mark III (about 3 times as fast as the EOS-1Ds Mark II). Although the EOS-1Ds Mark III has twice as many pixels as the EOS-1D Mark III, the writing speed per file is about the same as the EOS-1D Mark III, which is quite amazing. The camera is compatible with SD memory cards including SDHC (SD High-Capacity) cards. The writing speed with SD cards is the same as that of the EOS-1D Mark III. Viewfinder Large, bright viewfinders are an inherent advantage of full-frame sensor DSLR cameras. The viewfinder of the EOS-1Ds Mark III incorporates a totally redesigned pentaprism and refined eyepiece optics to make the viewfinder performance of the EOS-1Ds Mark III the best in its class. Remarkably, the viewfinder provides the highest magnification and widest coverage in the history of EOS-1 series cameras, including film models, approximately 0.76x and 35. This is a substantial improvement over the EOS-1Ds Mark II. The new finder also corrects the distortion in EOS-1Ds series camViewfinder Coverage Comparison eras to make the large viewfinder look more natural. The 100% viewfinder coverage, approximately 20mm eyepoint, -3 to +1 dpt dioptric adjustment range, and eyepiece shutter are the same as the EOS-1D Mark IIIs. It is now an even greater pleasure to look through the finder and the point of focus is much easier to find and follow. EOS-1D Mark III coverage

As with the EOS-1Ds Mark II, glass with a high refractive index is used for high performance. To match the higher viewfinder magnification (wider viewfinder coverage), the pentaprism and SI prism have been made larger, necessitating a change in the top Viewfinder Optics 1 exterior cover of the cameras body.

As with the EOS-1Ds Mark II, the superimposition display consists of the lead-in component, integrating the dichroic prisms (SI prism 1 and 2) with the pentaprism and the illumination (SI-LED), liquid-crystal (SI-LCD), and the eyepiece lens. Compared with the EOS-1D Mark IIIs dichroic mirror system, the dichroic prism system can have a more compact light path in the lead-in component. This contributes to a higher viewfinder magnification.

New UDMA Compatibility

UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) is a new specification for CF cards (Compact Flash Specification Revision 4.0) to enable high-speed writing to the card. With a UDMA-compliant CF card, the data transfer speed is twice as fast as with the EOS-1D Mark III, and the writing speed is on par with the EOS-1D Mark III (and about 3 times as fast as the EOS-1Ds Mark II) even though the pixel count is twice as large. With a higher number of pixels in the same sensor dimensions, the pixel size is necessarily smaller than those of the EOS-1Ds Mark II. Nevertheless, the ISO speed range is the same as that of the EOS-1Ds Mark II with ISO 100 to 1600 and ISO extensions of 50 (L) and 3200 (H).* The ISO speed Safety Shift is enabled via C.Fn I-8-2. The ISO speed control value differs from that of the EOS-1D Mark III. Note that the maximum burst during continuous shooting will decrease if ISO speed safety shift, noise reduction for high ISO speeds (C.Fn II -2-1), or a high ISO speed is set. (The maximum burst during continuous shooting is displayed in the viewfinder.)
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
The EOS-1Ds Mark III uses the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, a complete dust reduction system for reducing dust adhering to the imaging sensor, removing dust, and making dust spots less noticeable. The Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is a newly designed, dedicated unit optimized for the full-frame CMOS sensor. As with the EOS-1D Mark III, this unit has two thin piezoelectric elements that apply ultrasonic vibration to shake dust off the infrared absorption glass which is the outermost layer in front of the low-pass filter. The removed dust then sticks to the absorbent material lining the perimeter of the infrared absorption glass. Mechanisms such as the shutter and the mirror are manufactured in ways that reduce the generation of dust. The LPF uses grounding and a conduction process to discharge static electricity, minimizing dust adherence. And, to prevent the dust from entering the internal parts, the units outer periphery is sealed. The specifications of the units operating condition, forced termination condition, and Dust Delete Data acquisition and application are the same as with the EOS-1D Mark III.

As with the EOS-1D Mark III, 6 drive modes (single shooting, high-speed continuous, low-speed continuous, 10-sec. self-timer, 2-sec. self-timer, and silent single shooting) are provided. The noise level of the single shooting and silent single shooting modes is the same as with the EOS-1D Mark III.

Printing Effects Reflected in the Displayed Image

Tilt Correction

All PictBridge-compatible Canon printers can now be used to set the Brightness, Adjust levels, Contrast, Color saturation, Color tone, and Color balance (except for Face Brightener and Red-eye Correction). Previously, this was possible only with the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 and Pro9000. Compatibility with Face Brightener and Red-eye Correction depends on the printer type. When printing sRAW images through direct printing, the JPEG image will be used to make the print. The pixel count for the JPEG image and the sRAW image is the same. For RAW+JPEG images, the RAW image will be used to make the print. For sRAW+JPEG images, the JPEG image will be used to make the print. Note that if the JPEG image size is small, print size should be limited appropriately. Finally, a RAW image taken by another camera cannot be printed via direct printing. Since the RAW image processing method and imaging processor differ among cameras, compatibility cannot be ensured. External Flash Control The [Zoom] and [Wireless set.] flash functions have been added. These settings make it easier to view, summarize and set complicated wireless set-ups. As on the EOS 40D, one can now set all wireless flash settings with the cameras LCD monitor instead of the master Speedlite when the 580EX II is used. All external flash function settings and external flash Custom Functions settings other than these are the same as the EOS-1D Mark IIIs.

VI. SOFTWARE

EOS Digital Solution Disk Ver.16 will ship with the EOS-1Ds Mark III camera at no additional cost. Each component is modified to bring EOS-1Ds Mark III compatibility to such things as RAW and sRAW files, as well as metadata. The new EOS Utility, ver.2.2, has 2 enhancements to Live View Function, a Test Shooting function and a Quick Preview function. Both are discussed in the Live View Function section of this paper. DPP (Digital Photo Professional) is upgraded from version 3.1 to 3.2. The 2 main additions are the lens aberration correction function and the brightness warning display function. Lens Aberration Correction Function While lens optics are designed to achieve the best possible balance in minimizing different types of aberrations and defects, these do remain, even if only minimally, as in reality it is impossible to eliminate aberrations completely. The new Lens Aberration Correction Function provides correction by way of image processing to handle divergences from ideal imaging. Aberration correction is achieved by re-processing the image, combining the following information with the photographed RAW image: 1) The optical data for the lens: The DPP software includes data containing lens IDs and optical characteristics of each lens 2) Lens information for the lens used (lens ID): Automatically recorded to the supplementary information for photographed RAW images 3) The focal length information when shots are taken: Automatically recorded to the supplementary information for photographed RAW images 4) The distance information when shots are taken: Automatically recorded to the supplementary information for photographed RAW images.
Note: some of the specifications for recording the supplementary RAW image information in 2), 3) and 4) vary depending on the EOS Digital camera used.
There are 4 factors that this function can correct: 1) Peripheral illumination: Corrects peripheral light, which declines as one moves away from the center of the image, by increasing brightness at the image periphery so that brightness is uniform over the entire image

VI. SOFTWARE 25

2) Distortion: Corrects images where shape relationships are disrupted so that they appear as they should 3) Chromatic aberration: Corrects color fringing that arises around the image periphery 4) Color blur: Corrects the blue and red color blurring that can occur at the edges of very bright areas in images This innovative technology ties together the lens information, camera lens system information and image design in a comprehensive way that could be achieved only by a truly comprehensive camera manufacturer. At present, 29 EF lenses (lenses with built-in lens ID, focal length and distance information) are supported. T

Preferences Window

The Quick Check tool function has been improved with the addition of an [Information] button that displays the Shooting Information window; the control buttons have been rearranged to match more closely the way they are actually used. Also, whereas the only enlargement ratio available in the enlarged display was 50% in ver.3.1, the specifications have now been improved so that either 50% or 100% can be selected in the [Preferences] window. Picture Style Editor

Quick Check Window

Picture Style Editor Ver.1.1 is also included on Digital Solution Disk Ver.16. In brief, Picture Style Editor is software that allows users to create their own Picture Style files by selecting and loading a sample RAW image and then adjusting the image characteristics based on one of the existing Picture Style settings (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral or Faithful, but not Monochrome). The created Picture Style file can then be registered in the camera using EOS Utility, or used in the DPP or RAW Image Task applications. There is only one change in Picture Style Editor from ver.1.0: the range of sample images available for adjustment has been expanded to include RAW images shot on all EOS Digital cameras (EOS D30 to EOS-1Ds Mark III. This includes EOS D6000 and D2000 RAW images that were converted using.CR2 Converter to RAW images with the.CR2 extension.) There are no functional changes. Note that there are some cameras that are not supported by and cannot be used with Windows Vista: the EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D, EOS 10D, EOS Digital Rebel/300D DIGITAL, EOS D60 and the EOS D30. Also, while the following cameras are compatible with Windows Vista for 32-bit systems, they are not compatible with Vista for 64-bit systems: the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS 5D, EOS 20D and the EOS Digital Rebel XT/350D DIGITAL.
