I. OVERVIEW

The Canon EOS-1D Mark II N Digital SLR is both the successor to, and a thorough reconsideration of, the EOS-1D Mark II camera. It preserves the speed, responsiveness, image quality and reliability of the EOS-1D Mark II model while incorporating newly refined features that make the camera easier to use and more precise. The N model inherits the mantle of worlds fastest digital SLR, firing at 8.5 fps for up to 48 fullresolution JPEGs in a burst (vs. the same firing rate and a 40 JPEG burst for the 1D Mark II camera). It retains the superb 8.2 megapixel CMOS Sensor of the 1D Mark II camera, with its convenient 1.3x lens conversion factor, and continues to use the DIGIC II Image Processor for outstanding image quality. The EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR shares with the 1 Series family its all-metal body and chassis and weather-resistant construction, and its shutter is still durability-tested to 200,000 exposures. The new 2.5 inch, wide-angle view LCD/TFT screen brings with it larger, easier-to-see text in 15 languages. Picture Style makes image control easier. ISO speed changes, memory card selection and new folder creation have all been simplified. The optional Ec-S screen makes manual focusing easier. More burst frames are now possible and burst speed settings are more flexible. Info display is more complete. Many menus can now be accessed during image recording. Several improvements to magnified view make focus checking easier. Last displayed image view makes image review easier and less stressful. User-settable file names make it easier to identify and index ones work. Automatic noise reduction eliminates uncertainty from low-light photography. Enhanced printing functions will make keeping track of images easier. The result is a superb professional photographic instrument. The estimated selling price of the new camera, $3,999 , is actually $500 less than the initial price of its predecessor. This aggressive pricing makes the EOS-1D Mark II N camera a terrific deal. Photographers upgrading from older or less robust equipment, or from film, will see that the N model is the clear choice in all-around professional performance. The great success of the cameras predecessors is on display at any sporting event where legions of white L Series lenses mark Canon as the overwhelming preference of

1Ds Mark II

1D Mark II N

Digital Rebel XT

professional sports photographers. The same is true in wedding and fashion photography. Many of these cameras have seen long and hard service and could be replaced if a persuasive opportunity presented itself. Purchasing managers for news organizations and studio operations will certainly find the combination of value and significant evolutionary improvements an excellent argument for cycling through existing 1-Series equipment in service. Further, while the EOS-1D Mark II N camera is easier to use, its complete compatibility with existing Canon lenses, Speedlites and accessories means that its introduction into an equipment pool will not require any sort of re-engineering, avoiding additional expense, complication and nuisance. Working photographers will feel at home immediately with the EOS-1D Mark II N camera. It has the feel and responsiveness they know and rely on combined with a new ease of use they will appreciate and enjoy. Pros of every stripe will recognize it instantly for what it is: the new professional standard.

Enlarge display setting screen
enables the user to magnify the image and check focus in a single operation: the press of one button. Magnification starts at approximately 100% and ranges in 15 steps from 1.5x to 10x, the same as the EOS-1D Mark II camera.

Magnified

Magnified View During Quick Review
Next, magnified view during Quick Review is enabled. This means that, when an image is displayed on the LCD screen immediately after capture, magnified view in 15 steps is now possible, speeding and simplifying focus checking, as well as reducing the time until the next shot can be taken.
1. Quick Review image appears after the shot is taken.
2. Hold down the <Magnified> button and press the <Magnify> button to magnify the image.
Last Displayed Image Remembered and Improved Magnified Images
Third, increased internal memory capacity has improved image quality in Magnified view. Improved memory function has also made it possible for the EOS-1D Mark II N camera to remember the last displayed image. Previously, when the user resumed image playback after clearing the display by pressing the shutter button or AE lock button, the image shown was the last one shot, a particular inconvenience when checking large numbers of images. Now, when playback is resumed after stopping, the specification has been revised so that the most recently displayed image reappears.
More Complete INFO Display
Last, the information display now shows file sizes and includes notations for monochrome (B/W) and R/G/B when the RGB histogram is enabled. File size has become a critical piece of data with the practical limitations imposed by the widespread adoption of wireless networks (enabled by transmitters such as the Canon WFT-E1A) for image transfer. The indications of monochrome and RGB are an aid to photographers who are fully or partially color blind. Additionally, it is now easier to distinguish between actual monochrome images and those with a limited palette that appear to be monochrome.
B. Improved Image Recording Performance
More Burst Frames An improved image processing sequence and an improved memory management method have made more burst frames possible. The RAW burst is now 22 frames; RAW+JPEG is approximately 19 frames (JPEG quality: 8, Picture Style: Standard, ISO 100); JPEG large is 48 or better; JPEG Medium 1 is 59 or better; JPEG Medium 2 is 77 or better, and JPEG Small has increased substantially to 135 or better. Professional users in particular will appreciate the extra margin of comfort that greater burst performance provides.

New Split Recording for RAW+JPEG
As with the EOS-1D Mark II model, the EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR allows the user to save the same image simultaneously in both memory cards, slot 1 and slot 2, a highly effective backup mechanism. Also, one can record to slot 1 until it is full, going on to slot 2 as a reserve. Now, with the EOS-1D Mark II N camera in RAW+JPEG mode, it is also possible to save the RAW and JPEG images separately in each memory card. The RAW images can be saved in slot 1 and the JPEGs, in any of ten quality levels, in slot 2, or vice versa. Because CF cards tend to be larger, currently, than SD cards, the RAW files will be likelier to go on the CF card in slot 1, but this is not a requirement. The new option allows images to be recorded separately according to usage, finally realizing a great potential benefit of the dual slot configuration.

STEP 1 STEP 2

RAW+JPEG (L/M1/M2/S) selected
Screen for RAW+JPEG images separate recording onto two cards
New Simple Recording Slot Switching
Canon has made a substantial improvement in the way switching between the two card slots is accomplished. On the EOS-1D Mark II, one had to press the Display button and turn the Quick Control Dial to select the folder mode before the card slot selection screen appeared. Holding down the Select memory card button and turning the Quick Control Dial selected the memory card, a less-than-intuitive procedure. The memory card selection button of the EOS-1D Mark II N camera accesses the selection screen directly, a simple and stress-free process.
Automatic New Folder Creation
On the EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR, when image file number 9999 is reached, a new folder is started automatically and the file number starts from 0001. On current 1D models, a dialog box appears at file number 9999 asking the user whether to create a new folder or not, interrupting shooting and causing a distraction. Also currently, if there is a DCIM folder on the memory card being used, the last file number stored in that folder is rejected. The user must then perform a forced reset in advance to reset the file number to 0001. Now, the user can concentrate on shooting without having to worry about folders or file numbers.

User-settable File Names

The user can now decide the file names first four alphanumeric characters followed by the cameras fixed characters. File names are entered on the cameras rear LCD screen using the Quick Control Dial and the Select button. This procedure replaces the current system of unchangeable file names consisting of four random, camera-specific, alpha- numeric characters set at shipment from the factory plus a file number. Now, users can clearly identify themselves as the sender when images are transferred during or immediately after an event. The new system also improves the ease of searching for file names.
Automatic Noise Reduction for Long Exposures
On the menus Noise reduction screen, a new option called Auto has been added. When Auto is enabled, the camera automatically detects the noise level for exposures one second or longer. If analysis indicates that noise reduction would be effective for that shot, it is applied. At present, it is difficult to judge whether or not an image is affected by noise. Users must compare two images, one with noise reduction enabled and one without it, and make a judgment based on their appearance on the LCD screen, a distinctly iffy proposition.
C. More Functional Improvements

Picture Style

Color tone Color Saturation Contrast Sharpness
The EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR uses Canons new Picture Style function for easy control of image characteristics, similar to the way one chose a film to match ones visual intent in the past. Picture Style represents a reorganization of the processing parameters used in previous EOS DSLRs. The six Picture Styles provided are: Standard (standard snapshot characteristics, same as Digital Rebel series Parameter 1), Portrait (softer and more natural skin tones), Landscape (vivid blues and greens, enhanced

Picture Style screen

sharpness), Neutral (natural color reproduction with settings that stress image elements, intended for post-processing, same parameters as the EOS-1D series), Faithful (color reproduction that colorimetrically matches the original as closely as possible, also intended for post-processing) and Monochrome (same as on the EOS 20D camera, and the first time this feature has appeared on an EOS-1 class digital SLR). The first five have adjustable preset settings for Sharpness, Contrast, Color tone and Saturation. Monochrome has adjustable preset settings for Sharpness, Contrast, Filter effect and Toning effect. In addition, there are three user-defined Picture Styles, providing extensive custom control.

New Ec-S Focusing Screen

For the many professional photographers who prefer to focus manually in certain situations, Canon has devised an optional new focusing screen that uses the precision matte technology first seen on the EOS 20D camera. Optimized for lenses with maximum apertures of f/2.8 and brighter, the Ec-S has a steeper parabola of focus than the standard screen, the New Laser Matte Magnified photo of screen Ec-CIII. The Ec-Ss newly shaped microlens causes the defocus bokeh characteristic near the point of focus to be more pronounced. The point of sharpest focus has more snap, making it easier and faster to find. Note that the Ec-S screen is not recommended for use with lenses slower than f/2.8. Also, because the Ec-S screen requires a new setting for C.Fn-00, it is not currently

compatible with existing cameras. Canon is reviewing the possibility of providing a firmware update for earlier EOS-1 class DSLRs.

ISO Set Through Finder

ISO speed and ISO bracketing can now be set while looking through the viewfinder rather than taking ones eye away from the finder to look at the top LCD panel. The risk of missing a photo opportunity is reduced.

Viewfinder

Reduced Startup Time
The improved system processing sequence and revised operations for camera startup have lowered startup time to an almost imperceptible 0.2 sec.
Enhanced Range of Settings for Continuous Shooting Speed
The EOS-1D Mark II N camera offers a choice of high-speed continuous shooting (H) ranging from 2 to 8.5 fps, and low speed continuous shooting (L) with settings from 1 to 7 fps. Access to these controls is through the new P.Fn 19, [Set continuous shooting speed]. There was no overlap in the EOS-1D Mark IIs settings; (H) was 4 to 8.5 fps and (L) was 1 to 3 fps. Professional photographers will appreciate both the new level of control and the greater range of (L) settings.
Access to Menu Options During Image Recording
The EOS-1D Mark II N camera offers the highly useful feature of permitting access to certain menu options while the camera is processing images and recording them on a memory card. During shooting, changes in [JPEG quality], [Color space], [Picture Style], [Photographed image review] and ISO expansion can be made, effective with the next shot. During playback, changes to [Highlight alert], [Display AF points], [Histogram display] and [Enlarged display set] will all be effective with the next image displayed. In addition, changes to these settings are applied immediately after being entered: [Auto Power Off] and [Auto rotate] from Setup menu 1, as well as [Language] and [Video system] from Setup menu 2.
New Custom Functions and Personal Function
C.Fn-13 adds [9/Center AF] point to [Number AF points/Spot metering]. This allows spot metering to remain at the center of the image, regardless of the focusing point selected from the nine available choices. C.Fn-00, setting 2 [Ec-S] is added to [Focusing screen] to support the new focusing screen. The new P.Fn-19 is very welcome because it now permits the selection of [High-speed continuous shooting]: 2-8 or [Low-speed continuous shooting]: 1-7. Finally, with P.Fn-25, [Picture Style] and [Color space] have been added to [Default settings when cleared].
Low Level Formatting of SD Cards
Low level formatting, or physical formatting, rewrites all of the recording medias sector information. Existing data is completely erased. In contrast, high level formatting, or logical formatting, is like erasing only the table of contents of a book. It may be possible in this case to recover data with third party software, an advantage or a disadvantage, depending upon circumstances. The EOS-1D Mark II N

Low-level formatting screen
camera has the Low Level Format feature already incorporated into Canon PowerShot cameras. When the SD card (Card 2) is selected on the card format screen, a checkbox to enable Low Level Format will appear. (Low Level Formatting is not possible with CF cards, so the checkbox does not appear in this case.) When it is selected, writing to the SD card will be faster and more secure, and permanent deletion of data will be executed.
D. Enhanced PictBridge Functions
New Contact Printing In 2004, primarily as a result of the introduction of the PIXMA brand (PIXUS brand in Japan) in the latter half of the year, unit sales expanded nearly 20% from the previous year. As a result, Canon showed excellent performance for the year, returning to the No. 1 position in the Japanese market for the first time in eight years. Canon has applied advances in its semiconductor production technologies to the nozzle manufacturing process, resulting in substantial improvements in printer performance. Software andhardware innovations are combining to make Canon printers work better than ever. For example, the compatibility of Canon PIXMA photo printers and Canon cameras has been extended so that, beginning with PictBridge compliant models introduced in the fall of 2005, useful new functions will be available. First, theres Contact Printing, featuring easy-to-see thumbnail images, with a simulated 35mm filmstrip background. Each frame measures 36mm x 24mm, exactly the size of contact prints made from 35mm film, in a five-rows-of-seven 35-image layout.
Two New Layouts With Exif Data
The second new option is a 20image layout with Exif shooting informationprinted next to each frame: camera model, lens model, extender usage, shooting mode, shutter speed, aperture setting, exposure compensation (not shown if no compensation is used), ISO, white balance, file
number and date. Either of these options offers a useful solution to the problem of archiving and retrieving digital images. A third new choice makes a single print with Exif information printed underneath.

Face Brightener

Face Brightener, which makes dark, backlit faces brighter, is an effect that appeared originally in Easy-Photo-Print Ver. 3.0. It is now available, without a computer, in the new series of Canon PIXMA Photo Printers. It provides an easy way to correct for underexposure caused, in most cases, by backlighting of the subject.

Original image

With Face Brightener

New Paper Sizes

Three new paper sizes have been added: 4 x 8, 8 x 10 and 10 x 12. This enhancement is aimed at the growing group of professionals who may need to print directly from their cameras while on location, and is compatible with new paper sizes that are scheduled to be available for Canon PIXMA Photo Printers announced in the second half of 2005.
E. Continuation of the Key Elements of the EOS-1D Mark II
Worlds Fastest Autofocus Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera The EOS-1D Mark II N camera has the same top speed as the EOS-1D Mark II model. At 8.5 frames per second in One Shot AF/AI SERVO AF mode, it still boasts the worlds fastest continuous shooting speed for an AF DSLR.

Superior Sensor

CMOS sensor
The EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR has the same Canon-designed and -manufactured single-plate CMOS sensor as the EOS-1D Mark II. The sensor measures 28.7mm x 19.1mm, the generous APS-H size, yielding a 1.3x lens conversion factor that is better for wide-angle work than smaller, less costly sensors. Additionally, the large sensor means that each of its 8.2 megapixels (3520 horizontal by 2342 vertical) can be a considerable 8.2m square. This surface area produces greater
III. NEW AND IMPROVED DESIGN FEATURES
sensitivity to light, higher effective ISOs, better shadow and highlight detail, higher signal output and exceptionally low noise compared to earlier EOS Digital SLRs.

DIGIC II Image Processor

The DIGIC II provides the EOS-1D Mark II N camera with an ultra-fast processing system, in part because of its use of DDR-SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) and eight- channel simultaneous reading from the sensor. The DIGIC II retains its acclaimed on-chip noise reduction circuit that produces low levels of noise, even at high ISOs, and provides high-precision computing for natural color reproduction, superb color accuracy, wide tonal range, reduced false 8-channel signal reading colors and low power consumption. The DIGIC II combines the functions of the original DIGIC, the camera control module and the image processing module, all on one unit, reducing size, cost and complexity, and increasing performance and reliability.
1-Series Tradition: A Complete Range of Functions
The EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR shares its heritage with the EOS-1, -1N and 1v film SLRs and the -1D, -1Ds, -1D Mark II and 1Ds Mark II digital SLRs, a noble family of rugged and top-performing professional cameras. Necessarily, it has shutter speeds from 1/8000 to 30 seconds plus Bulb, a maximum X-sync of 1/250 second, ISO speeds from 100 to 1600 in 1/3-step increments (with expansion to ISO 50 or 3200 using menu screens), 100% viewfinder coverage, short startup time (0.2 sec), a shutter release lag time of 55 ms (or 40 ms at full aperture with P.Fn-26 set), active mirror control for a finder blackout time of approximately 87 ms, four JPEG resolution settings, ten JPEG compression settings, RAW and RAW+JPEG simultaneous recording, precise auto white balance, WB correction and WB bracketing, 45-point area AF with metering sensors in 21 zones, high-speed AF and high-speed subject tracking, the E-TTL II advanced flash exposure system, and IEEE1394 (FireWireTM) for faster image transfers to a personal computer.

Compatibility

In addition to accepting the entire array of Canon EF (but not EF-S) lenses and EX-Series Speedlites, the EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR is completely compatible with all system accessories for the EOS-1D and EOS-1D Mark II cameras (including the DVK-E2 Data Verification Kit, but not the DVK-E1 or the IFC-200D6/450D6 Interface Cables), wireless/ wired LAN image transfers (with WFT-E1/E1A), IPTC (International Press Telecommunication
Council) information tags for JPEG images, Exif 2.21 (especially for color space and printing applications), and formatting capabilities for memory cards up to 2 GB and larger.

Speedlites

EF Lenses

Basic Operation Ease

Like all 1-Series cameras, the EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR is as comfortable to hold vertically as it is horizontally. It retains the graphical user interface for accessing many functions, always with a priority on shooting. Most of the improvements from the Mark II model to Mark II N model make the new camera even easier to use.

Design

As on the EOS-1D Mark II and the EOS-1Ds Mark II cameras, the Canon logo on the EOS-1D Mark II N camera uses sculpted and color-filled lettering for a look of quality and sophistication. The new screen on the back seems enormous and is unmistakable. On the whole, the 1D Mark II N camera looks like just what it is, a rugged and elegant professional instrument.
Reliability and Durability
In keeping with 1-Series practice, the EOS-1D Mark II N camera uses magnesium alloy with a tough, scratch-resistant coating for the top, front, bottom, sides and rear covers, the memory card slot cover and the chassis. The mirror box is a machined aluminum casting. The shutter is tested for 200,000 cycles, the highest reliability rating for an SLR with a focal plane shutter. Extensive use of gaskets and seals gives the camera thorough dust and water resistance. Noise-resistant electromagnetic shielding and careful
distribution of electronics keeps images noise-free. A new cable protector is bundled with the camera; it prevents movement of the IEEE1394 cable in its socket and the damage that could cause.
Extensive Software Package
The EOS-1D Mark II N camera will be packaged with the EOS Digital Solution Disk, Ver. 11, which includes ZoomBrowser EX 5.5, ImageBrowser 5.5, EOS Capture 1.5 (Windows/ Macintosh), PhotoStitch 3.1 (Windows/Macintosh), and a set of PTP, WIA and TWAIN Drivers (Windows). At no extra cost, the camera will also come with Digital Photo Professional, Ver. 2.0, an immensely useful tool for professional digital workflow.

V. CONCLUSION

The day after the specifications of a new camera are set for production, an idea for some worthwhile change inevitably presents itself. This is because, first of all, development continues on the product itself. Second, once the camera has been sold in any numbers, there is feedback from users that is worthy of consideration. Then, development continues on the entire line of, in this case, DSLRs, and components developed for one application might be just the ticket for another one as well. If, for example, the cost of developing a new screen could be shared among several cameras, each benefits on both sides of the price/performance equation. So, while the EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR retains the benchmark features that made the EOS-1D Mark II camera such an overwhelming success, there is a great deal about it which is new and significant. User requests are largely responsible for the separate RAW and JPEG recording, low-level formatting of SD cards, automatic folder creation, user-settable file names, easy switching of recording card slot, ISO setting in the viewfinder display, inclusion of file size in the INFO display, menu operation during image processing and writing, as well as improved settings for both Custom Functions and Personal Functions. The new Ec-S focusing screen was developed to help the many sports and portrait photographers who focus manually. Advances in computing system logic enable faster startup time, greater burst performance, enhanced magnified view options and the new automatic noise reduction option. Two examples of shared technology are the new, large display and the Picture Style approach to controlling image characteristics.

Commercial Applications

Gil Smith
The Ultimate in Resolution.
My main concern with any camera system is having a wide array of lenses available
that are manufactured to professional standards. I love using extreme wide-angle lenses and the full frame chip on the EOS-1Ds Mark II allows me to utilize all of the EOS lenses to their full potential. The creation of this particular photograph was immeasurably faster than previously possible thanks to Canons superior use of emerging technology. We were in a studio in a controlled lighting situation, wired to the internet with the art director hundreds of miles away. We were able to capture and send shots instantly, and the art director evaluated and approved the image in minutes. The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II connected to a computer or a network is a remarkable platform for photography in this digital age.
The EOS-1Ds Mark II captures more pixels than the competition, quickly delivering a high-resolution photograph without equal. The 1Ds Mark IIs 16.7 Megapixel full-size CMOS sensor captures 4992 x 3328 pixels, enough resolution for almost anything. In addition, with ISO ratings of 50-3200, combined with Canons noise reduction technology for an incredibly low signal to noise ratio, theres almost nowhere this sensor wont perform. The 1Ds Mark II can take full advantage of Canons array of EF lenses, as its sensor is the same size as a traditional film SLR, meaning no focal length conversion factorlenses will have the same view they would on a 35mm camera. The 1Ds Mark II can also be shot at lower resolutions to conserve space on memory cards if large images are not the priority of the shoot.

Canons DIGIC II Image Processor turns information captured by the CMOS sensor into images of exceptional clarity and resolution. Photographers can expect precise, natural colors with smooth, lifelike gradations, spot-on white balance and speed in any number of lighting situations. By handling larger volumes of image data, the DIGIC II Image Processor also contributes to lower power consumption: about 1,200 shots can be taken on a full battery under normal conditions. Photographs can be recorded as JPEG images, RAW images, or both simultaneously with unprecedented control over image quality. Canon's newly developed proprietary CR2 RAW type compression method offers tremendous image quality, with rich 12-bit gradation and lossless image compression. Perfect for critical applications, amazing results can be achieved when processing Canons RAW images on a computer.

EOS-1D Mark II N: You Spoke, We Listened.
The successor to the amazing EOS-1D Mark II, the EOS-1D Mark II N refines every facet of the photographic process, resulting in a faster, more fluid experience for the photographer. Retaining the EOS-1D Mark IIs 1.3x conversion factor and 8.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor, sophisticated 45-point AF, 21-zone Evaluative Metering, superb build quality and instant 0.2 second startup time, the EOS-1D Mark II N incorporates userrequested improvements such as an optional changeable focusing screen for critical focus in low light and a larger 2.5 inch LCD screen which provides a bigger image for playback, and can be viewed at 170 from all angles. ISO values can now be changed in the viewfinder, allowing photographers to change settings without taking the camera from their eye. The 1D Mark II N features these improvements, plus, all the shooting modes of the EOS 1 line and shutter speeds from 1/8000 to 30 sec.
In Photojournalism there is no such thing as a second chance - every moment is
unique and can never be reproduced. Therefore I need a camera system that is incredibly reliable, one that does not stand in between me and a photograph. I've come to rely on Canon cameras to not only capture the decisive moments but also to make photographs that I could not have otherwise. After five solid days of bad weather, and with a looming deadline, we finally got a clear sunset. I needed to capture a dramatic shot of the Chrysler Building but did not want to isolate it as its a vital part of the city and rooted to the streets below. Since the surrounding buildings are lower, they appeared in shadow while the Chrysler appears to be in spotlight. Flying high above New York in a helicopter banking at 45, with one chance to get the shot that will tell your story, you need confidence in your equipment, and thats why I use Canon.

Canons Most Advanced Flash Metering System: E-TTL II.
The EOS-1D Mark II Ns advanced features are complemented by Canons proven E-TTL II flash metering technology. Unlike older systems, E-TTL II weighs and averages the flash metering, capturing the subject as a plane and not as a point. E-TTL II incorporates distance information from compatible EF Lenses for more versatile flash exposure control, rendering consistent flash exposures even if the subject contains various colors and levels of reflection. E-TTL II also eliminates underexposure that can occur with straight reflections by ignoring sensor areas that report abnormally high levels of light from the calculated reading. In addition, E-TTL II prevents overexposure when photographers lock focus and recompose the shot. In this case, E-TTL II calculates the flash output level according to the distance information, not simply the reading off of the subject. This means more consistent flash exposure results, no matter where the photographer chooses to focus.
A telling, gleeful moment is there for an instant and then gone. A cameras
ability to focus instantly and perfectly control flash exposure is often the difference between a moment lost and one captured forever. In dark reception halls, I often twist the head of my Speedlite flash to bounce off distant walls and ceilings, trusting Canons remarkable E-TTL II system to handle the tricky exposure challenge effortlessly. Whether that wall is yellow or blue, any color cast is instantly eliminated by the celebrated automatic white balance system. Difficult shots are now routine thanks to Canons industry-leading technology. I use Canon equipment with full confidence that I am using the finest photographic tools available in the world today.
Masked Focusing Screens (Ec and Ee versions available)
Ideal for portrait and wedding photographers, two new sets of focusing screens, featuring crop lines or black mask, help frame an image in a traditional 4 x 5 or square format. Compatible sets are available for the EOS-1 series cameras as well as the EOS 5D.

More Options for The Way You Work.
The EOS-1D Mark II N is one of the easiest cameras to customize to a photographers personal style of shooting. Six new Picture Style settings simulate the characteristics of different film styles, including Snapshot mode, for punchy, print-from-the-camera color, Portrait mode, for softer, more natural skin tones; Landscape, for vivid blues and greens and overall sharpness, plus Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, which can be customized to emulate color filters with black and white film. Add Canons new interchangeable matte focusing screens, proven Custom and Personal functions (two card slots, one for CompactFlash (CF) and one for Secure Digital (SD) memory cards) with the ability to record JPEG and RAW image on different memory cards, simultaneously, and its clear that the 1D Mark II N is an incredibly adaptable photographic tool.

Every time I go into the field my Canon EOS digital
system allows me to capture precisely what I see. I need a camera that will solve the photographic problems that are inevitable in outdoor photography. Will the cameras functions assist me, or be an obstacle to overcome? Will it focus quickly enough? Stand up to the weather and terrain I frequently find myself in? Most importantly, will the image quality be up to the standards that my clients and I demand? Canon has always been interested in what those of us in the field have to say, and the improvements made over the years reflect that input. If not for the fullframe sensor on the EOS 5D, for example, this dramatic fisheye shot would not be possible. Occasionally theyll even think of something I didnt even know I needed!

Expansive Perspective.
Historically, full frame digital sensors were reserved only for the very top end of Digital SLR lines. The EOS 5D is the 3rd camera in the EOS Digital SLR line to use a full-frame sensor, eliminating the lens conversion factor so that lenses function as they would on a 35mm camera. With a 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the 5D produces a large file with enough information to reduce electronic distortions out of the camera. Besides being a welcome feature to wide-angle enthusiasts, the sensor also realizes the full potential of Canons tilt-shift lenses. Add the choice of 3 focusing screens, including one with grid lines, and the EOS 5D is the perfect camera for creating fast, huge digital architectural photos. The EOS 5D also adds a 9-point AF sensor, with 6 additional supplemental focusing points, which bring a new level of accuracy to focus tracking. These new features combine with a new 3.5% spot meter and Canons Picture Style feature, resulting in superior color accuracy and much, much more.
Long before I switched to Canon digital SLRs, I made
a list of features that I required in a digital camera. Canon was the first (and remains the only) manufacturer to meet my requirements: full frame sensor, high pixel count, bright LCD review, rapid operation and superlative image quality. I bought one of the first EOS-1Ds cameras available, and every iteration since has only improved upon its versatile, intelligent and reliable design. Now with the EOS 5D I've got another great option. A higher resolution full-frame camera in a compact, lightweight body that affords me more versatility than ever before. The high resolution, wide tonal range sensor made this kitchen image possible. Note the extreme density rangefrom bright chrome to dark woodand the mixed lighting. The Canon sensor takes mixed light sources in stride, allowing faithful image capture without supplemental lighting.

lens attached to the camera, a special group of lens elements automatically shift position, compensating for the movement and stabilizing the image. This compensatory effect adds the equivalent of up to three stops of exposure, expanding a photographers handheld options dramatically. Lenses using Canons Diffractive Optics are both high performance and more compact than those with traditional refractive designs. While conventional glass elements disperse incoming light, thereby causing chromatic aberration, Canons unique multi-layer diffractive elements work together with conventional glass optics to reduce the effects of dispersion and minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration. Diffractive coatings are bonded to the rear surface of one lens element and the front surface of another. These elements are attached together to form a single multi-layer diffractive (DO) element. This elements dispersion characteristics are reversed when compared to conventional optics, making it possible to cancel chromatic aberrations at each wavelength when conventional and DO elements are combined. Macro Lenses To bring small things into full-sized view, Canons EF lens lineup has a number of options for true close-up and macro photography. With macro lenses for precision, and three screw-on close-up lenses for conveniencein addition to EF Life-Size Converter and two Extension Tubes, Canon has a perfect close-up option for any situation. TS-E TS-E lenses are capable of tilt and shift movements, bringing many of the advantages of technical view cameras to the EOS system. Tilt movements alter the angle of the plane of focus between the lens and CMOS sensor (or film plane), making broad depth-of-field possible even at large apertures; shift movements move the lens optical axis in parallel, allowing the photographer to control perspective. Super Telephoto Canons Super Telephoto lenses are renowned for their optics, performance and speed. They can be found on the sidelines of every major sports event around the world. From the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM all the way to the EF 600mm f/4L IS USM, every professionals arsenal will be fortified with an L-series Super Telephoto.

E-TTL II: Smarter Flash Performance
Canons Pro digital SLRs employ E-TTL II, the most advanced flash metering technology, to solve problems encountered by photographers. Occasionally, if you lock focus and recompose your shot, this could result in a non-optimal exposure with previous systems. E-TTL II remedies this by ignoring the active focusing point, considering distance information and evaluating pre-flash information immediately before the exposure occurs. Sometimes in flash photography, mirror-like objects in the image cause the sensor to register localized, abnormally high levels, and would result in underexposure. E-TTL II knows to ignore those levels, resulting in the correct exposure. This feature is useful when shooting a subject with a highly reflective object in the background, or if the subject itself is highly reflective. Metered areas with large discrepancies between ambient and pre-flash readings are excluded or down-weighted because they are assumed to contain a highly reflective subject. These readings are weighted, averaged and compared with the ambient light reading and the main flash output is then set and stored in memory, ensuring consistent flash output through a number of shots.
