EOS CAMERAS
Dual Axis Electronic Level Sensor
Developed by Canon and
featured in the EOS-1D X,
EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 7D
cameras, the brilliant Dual Axis
Electronic Level display aids in achieving
perfectly oriented shots. Visible in the
viewfinder and on the camera’s LCD monitor,
in both Live View mode or as a standalone,
and capable of displaying both roll and pitch
in 1° increments, the Dual Axis Electronic
Level Sensor is invaluable for architecture,
macro photography, video, or any situation
where critical composition is important.
Vari-angle LCD Monitor
Found on select EOS cameras,
the brilliant Canon Vari-angle
3.0-inch Clear View LCD
monitor and Vari-angle Touch
Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II with
180° vertical rotation set new standards for
clarity and flexibility. Designed to flip out
from the back of the camera, the Vari-angle
monitor’s 180° rotation means it can be
adjusted for low angle or high angle and can
even be positioned forward directly at the
subject (when facing the subject, the displayed
image automatically flips, showing a right-
side-up mirror image, perfect for self-portraits).
Because the monitor opens out sideways, it
switches between low and high angle shooting
without interfering with the use of auxiliary
camera grips or tripods. As an added plus, the
EOS 70D and EOS Rebel T5i cameras’ LCD
monitor has touch screen capabilities for more
intuitive control.
Live View Function
Canon’s spectacular Live View
shooting is now available on
all current EOS cameras. Live
View Function, where the photographer can
compose and shoot directly from the camera’s
LCD monitor, is an indispensable feature for
creative photography in any number of
situations. It enables the photographer to
zoom in and navigate the composition 5x or
10x its normal size, while enabling critical
focus and allowing more attention to detail.
Users can even choose a grid overlay, perfect
for architectural photography. In the studio,
Live View Function can be used remotely (via a
computer) through the camera’s USB
connection (via the Gigabit Ethernet port on
the EOS-1D X), or wirelessly if the optional
Wireless File Transmitter is used.
Live View Focusing
Canon’s Live View Function includes 3 focusing
modes: Quick mode, Live mode, and
Face Detection Live mode. In Quick mode,
One-Shot AF is set automatically and the AF
point is selectable even while the Live View
image is displayed. In Live mode, AF can be
started by pressing the AE button for either
AF mode. In Face Detection Live mode, the
largest face near center is detected initially,
but the multi-controller can be used to select
any face detected.
Intelligent Viewfinder
An Intelligent Viewfinder uses a
transparent LCD monitor to
superimpose a customizable
combination of focus points,
gridlines and other shooting information
within the viewfinder. Whereas the
representation of AF points and metering
areas are static with standard viewfinders, the
Intelligent Viewfinder allows the information
to be displayed, adjusted, or hidden with
ease. This means less distraction and more
clarity to view the image in its entirety. The
Intelligent Viewfinder includes a Grid Display
and in Spot Metering mode, the specific area
metered is shown.
Viewfinder
No matter the camera’s specifica-
tions, a clear, bright viewfinder is
the photographer’s first tool for
great images. Canon innovates
with their viewfinders, especially in the
EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 7D cameras,
by offering approx. 100% viewfinder coverage,
and several EOS SLR cameras have a larger
pentaprism for higher viewfinder magnification.
These cameras offer the best view of any EOS
digital camera to date. All EOS DSLR cameras
offer dioptric correction and several EOS DSLR
cameras have a number of different viewfinder
accessories, including up to 11 different focus
screens available for almost any application.
Superb Ergonomics
EOS cameras not only produce phenomenal
images, they are designed to be comfortable to
use and carry all day long. From bright viewfinders,
to tactile buttons and knobs, Canon is constantly
refining ergonomics based on the feedback of
real users. Canon’s Custom functions further
enable photographers to tailor features and
operations to their shooting style.
The EOS-1D X has
programmable function buttons located on the
front of the camera that enable fast access to
frequently used features the photographer
specifies. Its vertical grip is redesigned for
comfort and familiarity, and combined with a
vertical position Multi-controller, provides every
option and button found in the horizontal for
uninterrupted, intuitive shooting no matter
the camera’s orientation. Plus, the EOS-1D X’s
Multi Electronic Lock allows the Main Dial,
Quick Control Dial and Multi-controller to be all
locked, individually or together.
Spot metering display – Focus with a central,
circular zone for accurate exposure control.
AF point automatic selection – The camera auto-
matically chooses the correct AF point.
Zone AF – The AF points are divided into five
focusing zones, useful for off-center shots.
AF point expansion – Focus with a selected AF point
and points surrounding it. Great for moving subjects.
Hide all – An unobstructed view lets you get
close to your subject and capture detail.
Grid display – Useful for scenes where horizontal
or vertical lines are stressed, such as architecture.
Spot AF – Focuses on an even smaller area for
precise focus on small subjects.
AI Servo AF tracking display – Provides instant
feedback of AF points tracking a moving subject.
Intelligent Viewfinder – Change your viewfinder display to match any situation.
Live View Function – With Live View Function, images
can be composed and captured from the camera’s LCD
monitor, including the ability to zoom in up to 10x.
