Superior Metering
The ELAN 7N/7NE feature a 35-zone
metering system, which is then linked to the
camera's focusing points. To assure the
highest level of contrast and clarity, Canon’s
AIM (Advanced Integrated Metering) system
integrates evaluative metering and focus
information. But whether using automated
35-zone, partial-area, or center-weighted
metering, the ELAN 7N/7N
E assures that
your exposures come out just right.
35-zone Evaluative Metering:
The ELAN 7N/7N
E uses Canon’s advanced
35-zone Evaluative Metering for fast,
accurate control of shooting environments
that combine light and shadow or strong
backlight. Precise metering is assured
whether shooting in vertical or horizontal
positions.
Partial-Area Metering:
Partial metering measures 10% of the
viewfinder at the center or around the
chosen focusing point to provide pinpoint
accuracy when metering shadows, highlights
or subjects against very bright or dark
backgrounds.
Center-Weighted Metering:
With center-weighted metering, the ELAN
7N/7N
E measures the entire scene while
placing greater emphasis on what appears in
the center of the frame. It is often the chosen
method of experienced photographers.

Take Your Pictures to the Next Level
With an industry leading combination of performance and design,
Canon’s EOS series of SLR cameras continue to set new standards for
digital and film SLRs. Celebrated for their unparalleled performance
and sophisticated innovation, Canon EOS cameras have a well-
deserved reputation for user friendly design, professional precision
and uncompromising quality. Now add two more—the EOS ELAN
7N/7N
E — to this amazing camera system. Incorporating a host of
new features the ELAN 7N/7N
E offer a new focusing system for the
fastest AF performance in its class, a new backlit display, Canon’s
Whisper Drive technology, and a new distance-based flash metering
system, all in a nearly silent, elegant and rugged package.
Fast AF Performance
It’s never been so easy to achieve perfect focus so quickly. A perfect choice for sports and
wildlife photographers, the EOS ELAN 7N/7N
E shares much of the AF technology found in
Canon’s EOS-1v and EOS 3. This high-speed focus can track quickly moving objects with great
precision, allowing you to shoot up to 3.5 fps in AI Servo AF, or 4 fps in One-Shot AF mode. So
whether your subjects are moving or stationary, the EOS ELAN 7N/7N
E easily has the fastest AF
in its class. And with AI Servo, One Shot and AI Focus modes, the AF system can adapt to any
situation.

AI Servo AF lets you capture fast moving subjects. The camera follows the subject continuously
until the shutter is released, continuously adjusting focus for sharp results, at speeds rivaling
many professional SLRs.
One-Shot AF is suited to portrait or still life photography. Once composition is determined, one
of the camera’s seven focusing sensors quickly focuses on the subject. Unlike cameras with fewer
focusing points, the ELAN 7N/7N
E allows off-center subjects to be in sharp focus without the
need to recompose the image.
AI Focus offers control in any situation. In this mode, the ELAN 7N/7N
E detects if there is
subject movement. Then, it automatically se
lects AI Servo Focus or One-Shot AF as the shooting
situation requires.
7-Point Wide-Area AF
◆ The ELAN 7N/7NE’s 7-point Wide-Area Autofocus
provides a new level of speed and accuracy in AF. Seven
focusing points are arranged in a cross pattern with a
central “cross-type” sensor. This wide area makes it possible
for sharp focus to be achieved instantly–even when the
subject is off-center– without the need to recompose the
shot. Vertically or horizontally, with stationary or moving
objects, in low light and even with low contrast, 7-point
Wide-Area AF delivers razor-sharp images.
◆ The ELAN 7N/7NE’s Focusing Point Selection Keys represent a bold innovation in speed
and versatility. Designed for easy and fast action, these keys enable the photographer to
immediately select any one of the seven focusing points simply by pressing a button. It’s simple,
intuitive and remarkably fast.
