III. NEW AND IMPROVED DESIGN FEATURES 19

Camera Direct Printing

Construction

ompatible with DCF 2.0 and Exif 2.21 (including Adobe

Phot

oshop CS) will be able to handle Adobe RGB in the

ame way as sRGB. When software compatible with Exif

2.21 i

s used, images captured with the EOS 20D will

open aut

omatically in the Adobe RGB color space. When

a print

er that complies with Exif 2.21 is used, the printer

ill adjust the color saturation of the print suitably. There

is no need to worry about color space any longer.

As with the EOS 10D, the EOS 20D is compatible with

PictBridge, CP Direct and Bubble Jet Direct. It also

enables DPOF Print Ordering, Version 1.1. The

basic specifications are the same as those of the

EOS-1D Mark II. Printer communications can be

set to Normal or PTP with the menu’s

Communication setting. PictBridge, CP Direct and

Bubble Jet Direct all allow up to 8 steps of horizontal

trimming, up to 5 steps of vertical trimming, and a range of print sizes.

Direct Printing with the EOS 20D is significantly faster than the EOS 10D

or Digital Rebel because of the 20D’s DIGIC II Image Processor.

The EOS 20D’s top, front and rear covers are made of magnesium alloy which, although

it is costly for the price segment, is very strong and light and gives the camera an excep-

tionally solid feel. The body consists of a chassis made of stainless steel and a mirror

box made of high-strength engineering plastic. The mirror box is fixed securely to the

chassis to prevent the flange focal distance from changing because of static pressure

from an attached lens.

The exterior paint is a high-grade, black satin, leathery

finish with a finer pattern than before, adding to the

quality

feel of the camera. The Canon logo on the front of

the camera is set in relief, another extra-cost touch that

heightens the perception of the 20D as a high-end prod-

uct. Thoughtful details like the “finger cut” shape around

the shutter button and the gentle curves surrounding the

lens mount reinforce this perception.

The EOS 20D is both smaller and lighter than the 10D. The 20D is 100 grams lighter the

10D. The width, height and depth have been reduced by 5.7, 2 and 3.5mm respectively.

The shutter unit, mirror box, main mirror, pentaprism, focusing screen and viewfinder

optical unit have all become smaller as they were optimized for the APS-C sensor.

The 20D has nearly 100 fewer parts than the 10D. more than 50 of which are electrical.
