Eye Control (ELAN 7NE Only)
Use the ELAN 7NE’s exclusive Eye Controlled Focus for
instant, intuitive AF in almost any situation. Designed
by Canon to link eye movement with the seven AF
points, the Eye Control focus system tracks the glance
of the eye, integrating composition and focus into
one uninterrupted step. Canon’s fastest Eye Control
system to date, it works whether the camera is oriented
horizontally or vertically. This high-speed, advanced
Eye Control system distinguishes the ELAN 7N
E from every other camera in its class.
Command Dial
Use the ELAN 7NE’s Command Dial to
set the camera to any kind of photo-
graphic situation. For beginners, or sea-
soned photographers confident that the
camera will make the right choices for
them, choose one of the fully automatic
functions in the Image Zone. For more
user-controlled features, including fully
manual operation, click the Command Dial over to the Creative Zone.
Image Zone
Programmed Image Controls (PIC) offer you
greater speed and creative freedom—especially
when shooting under tight time constraints.
Just turn the Command Dial to the icon best
suited to the shooting requirements: Portrait,
Landscape, etc. A preset combination of AF,
exposure control, metering patterns, and flash
provides precise, effortless image control.
Full Auto Mode: chooses all settings including
the correct combination of aperture, shutter
speed and focus, as well as flash, for point-
and-shoot simplicity.
Portrait Mode: sets a large aperture focusing
on the subject’s face as it blurs the back-
ground for dramatic, flattering effect.
Landscape Mode: provides complete depth-
of-field so everything is in sharp focus from
foreground to background.
Close-up Mode: captures the smallest details
at close range to reveal the textures and
patterns in ordinary objects.
Sports Mode: sets the fastest possible shutter
speed to freeze the action in front of you
Night Scene Mode: fires the flash and slows
the shutter speed to produce “after dark”
photos with bright foregrounds and gently
glowing backgrounds.
Creative Zone
With a flick of the ELAN 7N/7NE’s Command
Dial, you have fast, effortless control of light,
speed, aperture and depth-of-field.
Intelligent Program AE: selects the precise
shutter speed and aperture value for the focal
length of the lens—when you want to shoot
at a moment’s notice.
Shutter Priority AE: you choose a shutter
speed – up to 1/4000 of a second – and the
camera automatically selects the correct
aperture, allowing you to freeze motion or
create intentional blurs.
Aperture-Priority AE: when control over
depth-of-field is essential, this mode lets you
select an aperture setting while the camera
automatically matches it with the proper
shutter speed.
Depth-of-Field AE: this mode calculates the
precise depth-of-field automatically. With the
ELAN 7e, you can even define your “sharp
zone” using Eye Controlled Focus.
Manual: this is when you want complete
control. You select the shutter speed and
aperture setting. Use the analog metering
scale and the ELAN 7N/7NE’s sophisticated
metering system, or set exposure
independently.
Enhanced Functions
In addition to sophisticated focus and
exposure capabilities, they feature a host of
other functions to enhance the photographic
experience. Features like AE lock, Auto
Exposure Bracketing and Multiple Exposure
Control ensure that the ELAN 7N/7N
E can
do anything you want it to.
◆ AE Lock make it possible to meter and
“lock in” and exposure setting based on a
specific element of the composition, and
then to recompose the shot for greater
freedom of expression.
◆ AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) lets you
select the degree of under or overexposure
in the bracketing sequence–from 1/2 to 2
full stops in in 1/2 stop increments. The
camera then automatically fires three shots
in rapid succession (the first at proper
exposure, the next two at the selected
increment of under and overexposure),
ensuring correct exposure in complex
lighting situations.
◆ Multiple Exposure Control (ME) allows
the creation of dazzling, surreal effects by
recording up to nine images on a single
frame of film.
◆ Self-timer delays the shutter for ten
seconds to allow the photographer to enter
the composition, or to minimize shake for
slow exposures.
◆ Canon’s Whisper Drive quiet film
transport technology minimizes film
advance noise, even when shooting in
continuous mode, making the ELAN
7N/7N
E the quietest EOS on the market!
◆ The viewfinder has a built-in dioptric
adjustment from -2.5 to +0.5. Adjustments
can be made conveniently without
removing the camera’s attached eyecup.
◆ Depth-of-Field Preview button enables a
fast check of the “sharp zone” before the
shutter is released.
◆ The ELAN 7N/7NE has 13 different
Custom Functions, encompassing 34
different settings that enable you to create
a working relationship with the camera
that’s highly individual.
◆ “Ultra-Matte Coating”, a black textured
finish, has been added to the cameras, to
distinguish them physically from the older
EOS ELAN 7 and ELAN 7
E models.
