If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock. Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens. Doing so may damage your vision. Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child. Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent re and electrical shock. Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the planes instruments or the hospitals medical equipment. To prevent re and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below: - Always insert the power plug all the way in. - Do not handle a power plug with wet hands. - When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord. - Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords. - Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet. - Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged. Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a re.
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns. Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens. Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the suns rays and cause a re. Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch re. If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent re and electrical shock. Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns. Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment. Doing so may cause re or a health hazard.

Shutter Button

The shutter button has two stages. You can press the shutter button halfway. Then you can further press the shutter button completely.
Pressing halfway (9) This activates autofocusing (AF) and automatic exposure (AE) that sets the shutter speed and aperture. The exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) is displayed on the top LCD panel and in the viewnder. Pressing completely
This releases the shutter and takes the picture.
If you press the shutter button halfway and (9) elapse, you must press it halfway again and wait a moment before pressing it completely to take a picture. If you press the shutter button completely without pressing it halfway rst or if you press the shutter button halfway and then press it completely immediately, the camera will take a moment before it takes the picture. No matter what state the camera is in (image playback, menu operation, image recording, etc.), you can return to shooting instantly just by pressing the shutter button halfway.

Using the <6> Dial

The <6> dial is mainly used for shooting-related settings. There are three ways to use this dial:
(1) While pressing a button, turn the <6> dial until the desired setting appears on the top LCD panel.
When you release the button, the selected setting takes effect and the camera will be ready to shoot. In this way, you can set the shooting mode, AF mode, metering mode, drive mode, etc.
(2) After pressing a button, turn the <6> dial.
When you press a button, its function remains selected for 6 seconds (9). During this time, you can turn the <6> dial to set the desired setting. After the button turns off or if you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will be ready to shoot. In this way, you can select the AF point or press the <O> button to set the exposure compensation amount.
(3) Turn the <6> dial only.
While referring to the top LCD panel, turn the <6> dial. In this way, you can set the shutter speed, aperture, etc.

Using the <5> Dial

The <5> dial is used for AF point selection and selecting the desired setting on the LCD monitor. This <5> dial works only when the <7> switch is set to <1>. There are three ways to use this <5> dial:

The higher the recording quality, the fewer the number of possible shots will be. On the other hand, the lower the recording quality, the higher the number of possible shots will be. JPEG quality levels 1 to 5 are indicated by <o>, and levels 6 to 10 are indicated by <i>.

Setting the ISO Speed

The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However, the image may look more coarse with noise, etc. On the other hand, a low ISO speed is not suited for low light or action shots, but the image will look ner. The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1/3-stop increments.
Hold down the <E> and <Q> buttons simultaneously.
The current ISO speed will be displayed on the LCD panel.

Q W E R Y U I O

About White Balance
The three RGB (red, green, and blue) primary colors exist in the light source in varying proportions depending on the color temperature. When the color temperature is high, there is more blue. And when the color temperature is low, there is more red. To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature can be adjusted with software so that the colors in the image look more natural. The subjects white color is used as the criteria for adjusting the other colors. The cameras <Q> setting uses the CMOS sensor for auto white balance.

3Custom White Balance

With custom white balance, you shoot a white object that will serve as the basis for the white balance setting. By selecting this image, you import its white balance data for the white balance setting.
Photograph a white object.
Make sure the plain, white subject lls the entire center spot metering circle. Set the lens focus mode switch to <g>, then focus manually. (p.76) Set any white balance setting. (p.48) Shoot the white object so that a standard exposure is obtained. If it is underexposed or overexposed, a correct white balance setting might not be obtained.

the <6> dial to set the desired color temperature. Then let go of the button. The color temperature can be set from 2800K to 10000K in 100K increments.
When setting the color temperature for an articial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary. If you want to set <P> to the reading taken with a color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meters reading and the cameras color temperature reading.

White Balance Correction

You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a color temperature conversion or color compensating lter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels. Users familiar with using color temperature conversion or color compensating lters will nd this feature handy.

AEB with the ISO Speed

Set the ISO speed that is to be the standard AEB exposure. For example, if you want AEB with 1 stop and ISO 200, 400, and 800, set the ISO speed to 400.
Hold down the <E> and <Q> buttons simultaneously and turn the <5> dial. The diagram on the left shows an AEB amount of 1 stop centering on the standard exposure level. The AEB amount (1.0), the AEB range <N>, and the <i> icon will be displayed. The shooting operation will be the same as AEB shooting while changing the shutter speed or aperture.
AEB shooting (by changing the shutter speed/aperture or ISO speed) cannot be used with ash photography and bulb exposures. AEB shooting is possible only within the settable shutter speed range (1/ 8000 - 30 sec. ), aperture range, and ISO speed range (100 - 1600). It is not possible with ISO 50 and 3200 even if the ISO speed extension is [On]. If you use C.Fn-06-2 to set the exposure setting increment to 1/2 stop, AEB shooting with the ISO speed will not be possible. In the continuous shooting mode, holding down the shutter button will take all three bracketed shots continuously, then the shooting will stop automatically (except during mirror lockup). When AEB is used with the self-timer, the three bracketed shots will be taken in succession after the 2- or 10-second self-timer delay. If the drive mode is set to single shooting, press the shutter button three times to take the three AEB shots. AEB can be combined with exposure compensation. During AEB shooting, the <w> icon in the viewnder and the <h> or <g> icon on the LCD panel will blink.

AAE Lock

AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects.
1 Focus the subject. Press the <w> button. 2 Aim the viewnder center(9) the over
subject where you want to lock the exposure, then press the <A> button. s The <w> icon will light in the viewnder and the exposure setting will be locked (AE lock). Each time you press the <A> button, it locks the current exposure setting.

Flash Photography

With EX-series Speedlites
An EOS-dedicated, EX-series Speedlite makes ash photography as easy as any AE mode. For details on using the EX-series Speedlite, refer to the Speedlites instruction manual. The EOS-1Ds Mark II is a Type-A camera compatible with all EX-series Speedlites providing the features below.

E-TTL II Autoash

E-TTL II is a new autoash exposure system incorporating improved ash exposure control and lens focusing distance information, making it more precise than the previous E-TTL (evaluative ash metering with preash) system.The camera can execute E-TTL II autoash with any EX-series Speedlite.
High-Speed Sync (FP Flash)
High-speed sync (FP or focal-plane ash) enables ash synchronization with all shutter speeds from 30 sec. to 1/8000 sec.

FE (Flash Exposure) Lock

Press the cameras <I> button to lock the ash exposure at the desired part of the subject. This is the ash equivalent of AE lock.
Flash exposure compensation
In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set exposure compensation for ash. Set ash exposure compensation up to 3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing)
FEB is the ash version of AEB. (Only with FEB-compatible Speedlites.) Set ash exposure bracketing up to 3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
E-TTL II wireless autoash with multiple Speedlites
Like with wired, multiple Speedlites, E-TTL II wireless autoash with multiple Speedlites provides all the above features. Since connection cords are unnecessary, exible and sophisticated lighting setups are possible. (Only with wireless-compatible Speedlites.)
Metered Manual Flash Exposure
For closeup ash photography, you can set the ash exposure manually. With an EX-series Speedlite having a manual ash mode, follow the procedure below:
1 Set the camera and Speedlite settings. 2 Focus the subject.

Focus manually.

Set the cameras shooting mode to <a> or <f>. Set the Speedlite to manual ash.
3 Aim the center spot metering circle over the subject,
then press the <FEL> button (8).
The Speedlite will re a preash and the required ash output is retained in memory. s In the viewnder, the exposure level indicator will indicate the currently-set ash exposure level relative to the standard exposure index.

AF point activation area

1: The AF point activation area expands by one point all around the manually-selected AF point. A total of 7 AF points become active. This setting is effective for when only one manually-selected AF point is unable to focus track a subject moving erratically. 2: The camera automatically sets the AF point activation area to 7 or 13 points to suit the lens focal length and AF mode.This is effective when the subjects movement is unpredictable.
The AF point activation area centers on the selected AF point. Therefore, if a peripheral AF point is selected, the AF point activation area will be smaller as shown below.

Exposure Control

If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock. Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens. Doing so may damage your vision. Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child. Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the planes instruments or the hospitals medical equipment. To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below: - Always insert the power plug all the way in. - Do not handle a power plug with wet hands. - When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord. - Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords. - Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet. - Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged. Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns. Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens. Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the suns rays and cause a fire. Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire. If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns. Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment. Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

This chapter explains the settings for shooting digital images: Image-recording quality, ISO speed, Picture Styles, white balance, and color space.
When the camera is ready to shoot, you can press the <B> button to see the image settings. (p.186)
Setting the Image-recording Quality
You can set the image size (recorded pixels), image type (JPEG, RAW, sRAW), and JPEG quality (compression rate).

Selecting the Image Size

3/4/5/6 will record the image in the JPEG. In the 1/9 mode, the image will require processing with the software provided. 9 is a small RAW image which is one-fourth (approx. 2.5 megapixels) the size of a normal RAW image. Also, RAW/sRAW and JPEG images can be recorded at the same time on the memory card.

White Balance Auto Bracketing
With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the color temperature of the current white balance setting, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing (WB-BKT). White balance bracketing is possible up to 3 levels in single-level increments.
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

Metered Manual Flash Exposure
This is for close-up flash photography when you want to set the flash level manually. Use an 18% gray card and an EX-series Speedlite which has manual flash mode. Follow the instructions below: 1. Set the camera and Speedlite settings. Set the cameras shooting mode <a> or <f>. Set the Speedlite to manual flash mode. 2. Focus the subject. Focus manually. 3. Set up the 18% gray card. Place the gray card at the subjects position. In the viewfinder, the entire spot metering circle at the center should cover the gray card. 4. Press the <I> button. (8) 5. Set the flash exposure level. Adjust the Speedlites manual flash level and the camera aperture so that the flash exposure level aligns with the standard exposure index. 6. Take the picture. Remove the gray card and take the picture. If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the Speedlite, you cannot use the cameras <Q> button or Flash function settings menu to set flash exposure compensation. If it is set with both the camera and Speedlite, the Speedlites setting overides the cameras. If autofocus cannot be achieved, the external, EOS-dedicated Speedlites AF-assist beam (if the Speedlite has it) will be emitted automatically. If focus cannot be achieved with the external Speedlites AF-assist beam, select the center AF point. With some external Speedlites, autofocus with AF-assist beam works only with the center AF point. This camera is a Type-A camera that can use all the features of EXseries Speedlites.
Canon Speedlites other than the EX-series
With an EZ/E/EG/ML/TL-series Speedlite set in the TTL or A-TTL autoflash mode, the flash can be fired at full output only. Set the cameras shooting mode to manual or aperture-priority AE and shoot. When using a Speedlite which has manual flash mode, shoot with the manual flash mode. With an EX-series Speedlite set to TTL autoflash with the flashs Custom Function, the flash will fire at full output only.
Using Non-Canon Flash Units

Sync Speed

The camera can synchronize with compact, non-Canon flash units at 1/300 sec. (or 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.

Full description

The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is an engineering tour de force which, true to the EOS-1 legacy, redefines the state of the art in no uncertain terms. An entirely new 21.1-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor delivers astounding image quality and creates new photographic possibilities. Dual "DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem to speed up data handling and camera operation, while further refining imaging performance. Tough, high-durability body and shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards for professional dependability. Cutting-edge features-such as a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor with Live View Function, and a fast, precise 45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III powerful and versatile. And, of course, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens, and extensive wireless, remote control and lighting accessories, is the most advanced and powerful digital photography system in the world.
