There can be no spaces in the folder name. Also, if there are folder numbers with the same threedigit number (regardless of the letters) such as 100ABC_C and 100ABC_D, the camera will not recognize the folders.

SSelecting the AF Point

Automatic selection
From among the 45 AF points, the camera selects the AF point automatically to suit the subject.
Manual AF Point Selection
(One of three groups of selectable AF points can be used) 1. You can select one of the 45 AF points manually. 2. You can select one of 11 AF points manually. (C.Fn-13-1, 2) 3. You can select one of 9 AF points manually. (C.Fn-13-3) * Selection methods 2 and 3 are enabled by setting C.Fn-13. (p.151) Set Custom Functions with 3 <n>.

When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing)
Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus conrmation light <o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Subjects difficult to focus
(a) Low-contrast subjects Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc. (b) Subjects in low light. (c) Extremely backlit and reective subjects Example: Car with a reective body, etc. (d) Overlapping near and far objects Example: Animal in a cage, etc. (e) Repetitive patterns Example: Skyscraper windows, computer keyboards, etc. In such cases, do one of the following: (1) Focus an object at the same distance as the subject and lock the focus before recomposing. (2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <g> and focus manually.

You can also set exposure compensation by pressing the <O> button (9) and turning the <6> dial. The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after the <4> switch is set to <2>. Take care not to turn the <5> dial and change the exposure compensation inadvertently. To prevent this, turn the <7> switch to <2>.
hAuto Exposure Bracketing
The camera brackets the exposure automatically up to 3 stops in 1/3stop increments for three successive shots. This is called Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB). AEB is possible by automatically changing the shutter speed or aperture or by changing the ISO speed and keeping the shutter speed and aperture xed.
AEB with the Shutter Speed or Aperture

indicator will indicate the respective bracketing amount as each shot is taken. The current drive mode will be used for the AEB shooting. After the three bracketed shots are taken, AEB will not be canceled. To cancel AEB, set the AEB amount to 0.0.

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.

3Highlight Alert

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

3AF Point Display

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

3Histogram

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

[Bright.] Display

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

Dark image

Bright image

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

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.

III. DESIGN FEATURES

A. Improved Image Playback Functions
New LCD Screen The EOS-1D Mark II N camera has a new, 2.5 inch LCD/ TFT screen with 230,000 pixels. Its area is more than 50% larger than a 2.0 inch screen. Its backlight, with six LED modules, is brighter. Examining photographed images, checking focus and selecting menu items are now all easier. The improved display enables viewing angles up to a remarkable 170 degrees from any direction.

LCD Screen

Magnified View From Any AF Point
Sharing the stage with the new, 2.5 inch LCD wide-angle view display are five significant improvements to image playback. First, one can have magnified view from any selected AF point. Previously, magnified views took the center of the image as the starting point. If the selected AF point was not in the center, one had to scroll around the image, an awkward and time-consuming process. Now, a menu item, [Enlarge from selected AF point],

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.

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. As a result of these changes, the EOS-1D Mark II N digital SLR is a camera that will be a source of pleasure to owners and users alike, whether or not they are one and the same. Those who pay for the 1D Mark II N camera will appreciate its rugged durability, long product life, system compatibility and under $4,000 price range. Professional users will value its great speed and responsiveness, its superb image quality, its rugged durability and system compatibility, coupled with its new ease of operation. For those who pay their own hard-earned money for their equipment and who, then, must make a living with what theyve bought, the EOS-1D Mark II N camera makes a perfect argument for itself. It is, clearly, the new professional standard.
