| Type |
Single-lens reflex interchangeable lens digital camera |
| Chassis |
Polycarbonate and stainless steel |
| Lens Mount |
Canon EF mount; metal |
| Lens Compatibility |
Canon EF and EF-S |
| Autofocus System |
• AF-dedicated CMOS sensor
• 9 AF points arranged in vertical diamond pattern
• Centre AF point is high-precision cross-type when used with lenses f2.8 or faster; operates as normal-precision cross-type with lenses f/5.6 or faster
• Outer AF points utilize single-axis detection with lenses as slow as f5.6
• Manual AF point selection is possible using 9-way multi-controller on back of camera
• Automatic AF point selection possible (closest subject priority, all 9 AF points considered)
• Focus modes: One Shot AF, Predictive AI Servo AF, AI Focus AF (Automatically selects One Shot AF or AI Servo AF), Manual focusing (MF)
• AF detection range: -0.5 EV to -18 EV (ISO 100, normal temperature)
• AF-assist beam: Intermittent firing of built-in flash, effective range: approx. 13.1 ft/4m at center, approx. 11.5 ft/3.5m at periphery |
| Shutter |
• Vertical-travel, mechanical, focal-plane shutter with all speeds electronically-controlled
• Shutter controls exposure time
• No shutter duty cycle specification released |
| Shooting Modes/Shooting Speed |
• 5 fps (non-adjustable) at 1/250 or faster
• 65ms shutter lag specification (71ms in our testing)
• 115ms mirror blackout time
• Approx. 20-44 Large Fine JPEG frame buffer, depending on ISO, scene content and CF card speed; 6 frame RAW/RAW+JPEG buffer
• When power switch is turned to OFF, camera finishes writing all photos to the card before powering down
• If the card door is opened mid-write, all remaining images in the buffer are lost |
| Ambient Metering |
• 35-zone TTL full-aperture exposure metering sensor
• Evaluative metering (linkable to any AF point)
• Partial metering: approx. 9% of viewfinder in centre of frame
• Centre-weighted metering
• EV 1 ~ 20 sensitivity range (all patterns, at normal temperatures) |
| ISO Range |
• 100 - 1600 in 1 step increments (ISO 3200 available if C. Fn 8-1 is set)
• Automatic ISO setting in Basic Zone modes; base ISO for Auto ISO setting is 400 |
| Exposure |
• 30-1/8000 second in 1/3 step increments, plus Bulb (1/3 or 1/2-step increments); x-sync at 1/250
• Long exposure noise reduction possible (when enabled, reduction is applied for exposures of 1 second or longer)
Exposure modes:
• Program AE (shiftable)
• Shutter-priority AE
• Aperture-priority AE
• Auto-Depth-of-field AE
• Full Auto
• Programmed Image Control modes (Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Portrait, and Flash OFF)
• E-TTL II Autoflash Program AE
• Manual
Exposure compensation possible:
• -2 to +2 EV in 1/3 or 1/2 EV increments
• Exposure bracketing possible |
| Flash |
• E-TTL II flash exposure control with all EX-series Speedlites
• 1-sec. burst of flash possible at 70Hz when depth-of-field preview button is pressed (580EX, 550EX, 420EX, MR-14EX, MT-24EX and Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 only)
• User-selectable evaluative or averaging through-the-lens flash metering
• Hot shoe and PC sync terminal included (maximum PC sync trigger voltage is 250V)
• Maximum standard flash sync speed: 1/250; compatible Speedlites will sync with camera above 1/250 only if High Speed Sync mode enabled
• Flash sync well above the standard sync speed with non-dedicated flashes isn't possible
• Flash exposure compensation of up to +/- 2 stops can be set on the camera body (can also be set on compatible speedlites)
Built-in flash:
• Covers lenses as wide as 17mm
• Guide Number 13/43 (at ISO 100 in meters/feet); approximate distance range 3 ~ 10 feet (ISO 100)
• Pops up 3/4-inch higher than EOS 10D's built-in flash |
| Viewfinder |
