When Autofocus Fails

Autofocus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light <o> blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:
Subjects difficult to focus
Low-contrast subjects Example: Blue sky, solid-color walls, etc. Subjects in low light Extremely backlit and reflective subjects Example: Car with a reflective body, etc. Overlapping near and far objects Example: Animal in a cage, etc. 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. (p.48) (2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> and focus manually.

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

About Silent Shooting

Instructions for setting the [6 Live View function settings] menus [Silent shoot.] are explained below. Mode 1 The shooting sound will be quieter than when Live View shooting is not used. Continuous shooting is also possible. For high-speed continuous shooting, it will be approx. 6 fps. Mode 2 When you press the shutter button completely, only one shot will be taken. While you keep holding down the shutter button, further camera operation will be suspended. Then when you return to the shutter buttons halfway position, the camera operation will resume and the shooting sound will occur only then. By delaying the shooting sound, the disturbance can be minimized. Even if continuous shooting is set, only a single shot can be taken in this mode. Disable If you use a TS-E lens to make vertical shift movements or use an Extension Tube, be sure to set it to [Disable]. Setting it to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] will result in incorrect or irregular exposures. When you press the shutter button completely, the shutter will sound like it took two shots. However, only one shot will be taken.
If flash is used and [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] has been set, the operation will be the same as the [Disable] setting. When using a non-Canon flash unit, set it to [Disable] (p.106). The flash will not fire if it is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].

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

Tremendous Power for Low Light Photography
This camera has an extensive ISO range (from 100 to ISO Speed Selection Screen 1600 plus ISO 3200* in extended mode) which is selectable in 1/3-stop increments. The sensor features a newly developed set of narrowgap microlenses and noise reduction circuits to improve performance at high ISOs, and optimized photodiode configurations for improved performance at all ISOs. Its simply more efficient, and that translates into better images.
nated by how Nature repeats herself. Like all living creatures, flowers have their very distinct personalities and similar to making a portrait of a person, when photographing flowers I am challenged to capture something of their individual personalities, moods and gestures.

Highlights Preserved for Improved Detail
Highlight Tone Priority feature extends the EOS 40Ds tonal range of bright areas, minimizing loss in highlight detail. This vital Custom Function
different white balance modes are featured for specific lighting conditions. Where you used to have to change White Balance Selection Screen films or attach expensive filters to compensate for light temperature, the EOS 40D does it all automatically. Presets for daylight, shade, overcast situations, indoor tungsten and fluorescent light, plus flash, custom, color temperature and white balance bracketing ensure accurate whites and colors anytime.
Automated Brightness and Contrast Correction
When shooting in basic automatic modes, the EOS 40D has a new Auto Brightness/Contrast Correction feature that adjusts less-than perfect exposures to ensure both proper dark and highlight points in the image, as well as optimal contrast. This feature is perfect for underexposed scenes, as one might get on the beach or in snow, in situations where the flash is not powerful enough and in hazy, overcast situations with little or no contrast.

Photographers seeking to produce their own gallery-grade inkjet prints have had limited choices until now. Understanding the demands of professional photographersespecially those who shoot with the EOS SystemCanon has responded with the imagePROGRAF series Photo Printers featuring impressive new technologies that bring unprecedented quality and performance to large format photo printing. Its never been simpler or more cost-effective to produce gallery-grade prints at home or in the studio.
Photo-Lithographic UserReplaceable Dual Print Heads
An advanced head design uses two print headseach with 15,360 nozzlesyielding over 30,000 nozzles. This not only makes possible extremely high output resolution but also ensures faster, more reliable printing. Photographers no longer need to choose between print speed and image quality. The large number of nozzles also substantially increase print head life so that the printer requires less frequent maintenance. And because the print heads are user-replaceable, maintenance can be performed with minimal downtime and no costly service calls.
Automated Black Ink Cartridge Switching
The ink set includes Black and Matte Black, only one of which will be used depending on output media selection. While other printers require the user to perform an inconvenient and wasteful manual operation to flush unused ink and switch cartridges, the imagePROGRAF printers automate the process. With both Black ink cartridges loaded and live at all times, the switchover is fast and wasteless, performed with a simple push of a button.
FINE Print Head Technology
Canons high-precision FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) print heads each have thousands of nozzles designed to release microscopic ink droplets as small as 1 picoliter in a single pass, resulting in fast, high resolution printing. Capable of plotting thousands of ink droplets each second, the high-density nozzle pitch produces sharper detail and less grain.
Canons 17-inch, wide-format imagePROGRAF iPF5100 features the exclusive LUCIA 12-color pigment ink set that yields a tremendous range of colors and grays. For smooth, detailed color and black and white images, no matter the media. Canons FINE photo-lithographic heads ensure accurate plotting of even the finest details thanks to over 30,000 nozzles. Matte Black ink and Black ink cartridges are both loaded in the printer at the same time, enabling automatic switching without wasting time or ink.

LUCIA 12-Color Ink Set

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