EOS CAMERAS
is faster, more precise and more intuitive than
ever. The menu structure has been redesigned
so that frequently used functions previously
buried in the menu hierarchy are brought to
the front. Operations previously assigned to
buttons, controls, menus and custom functions
have been consolidated for quick access in
the menu, ensuring the photographer can
concentrate on shooting images with the
knowledge that the camera’s settings are just
right. Select EOS cameras offer operational
help through the press of the Info button,
identifying features quickly, instructing on
their use and minimizing confusion, even for
photographers operating the camera for the
first time.
Enhanced GUI
(Feature Guide, Easier Menu System)
While Canon’s Graphical User Interface has
long been the industry standard, Canon is
constantly refining and developing new
features for a smoother user experience.
Accordingly, the GUI has been revamped for
the EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III cameras
based on the response and feedback of
professional users. Its Graphic User Interface
High Dynamic Range
Perfect for capturing scenes
with extreme highlights or
shadow, HDR (High Dynamic
Range) shooting, a feature
found on the EOS 5D Mark III,
EOS 6D and EOS 70D cameras, merges three
images of varying exposure, in-camera, capturing
a broad range of shadow and highlight detail
and delivering an image with stunning tonal
range. Adjustable to cover a range of ±3 stops,
and with five different effect settings (Natural,
Art Standard, Vivid, Bold and Embossed), on
the EOS 5D Mark III camera, HDR recording
expands the parameters of the light and dark
detail a camera can actually record, displaying
a range of depth and detail previously
impossible in image capture.
Shooting Modes
Beyond normal shooting modes
such as Auto, Aperture priority
and Shutter priority, select
EOS cameras offer shooting
features such as Picture Style
technology, which optimizes
camera settings for subjects like
landscapes and portraits, even monochromes.
For even more creative imaging freedom, Canon
developed Basic+. Basic+ makes it easy to
create whatever image effects desired. Basic+
has two initial option categories: In “Shoot by
ambiance selection,” standard white balance
and exposure compensation are altered
according to the chosen ambience, such as
vivid, soft, warm, intense, cool, brighter, darker
and monochrome. In “Shoot by lighting or scene
type,” white balance is adjusted according to
selections like daylight, cloudy, shade, tungsten,
fluorescent and sunset. These features,
complemented by the Canon Auto Lighting
Optimizer, Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction,
Highlight Tone Priority and Noise Reduction
feature help ensure accurate, nuanced results.
Scene Intelligent Auto
Scene Intelligent Auto, found
on select EOS cameras, merges
a number of very complex
measurements into settings
that will ensure photographs of gorgeous tonality,
accurate color, sharp focus and phenomenal detail.
Creative Filters
Select EOS models borrow several popular
creative filters like those found in Canon’s
popular PowerShot cameras, like Grainy B&W,
Fisheye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature
Effect, Art Bold Effect and Water Painting Effect.
On the EOS Rebel SL1 camera, Miniature Effect
can also be applied to videos. Each effect can be
applied in three different levels (low, standard
and strong), and easily previewed on the
LCD panel in Live View on the EOS 70D,
EOS Rebel T5i and EOS Rebel SL1 cameras.
Multi-Aspect Ratios
For the ultimate in custom
shooting, select EOS models
are able to shoot in a number
of aspect ratios, like 4:3, 3:2,
16:9, and even 1:1 for square compositions!
Twilight – Capture the subtle vibrancy of colors illuminated
by the soft glow of the receding sun using the twilight
setting. (Extended Function, online support only.)
Bright – A number of images are merged into a single
image in-camera for incredible creative compositions.
Continuous Shooting Priority – Capture fast-action
photography on a single image.
Monochrome – This setting emulates the color filters of
silver halide film for bold black and white images and
allows for red, green and other types of filter work.
Picture Style Settings Help Fine-tune Images to Match Your Scene
Picture Style Technology
With the myriad features
and settings available,
even the best photographer
might occasionally have
doubts as to whether all
of the camera settings are optimal for the
shot. Canon’s ingenious Picture Style feature
comes to the rescue, providing a number of
user-friendly presets, including standard,
neutral and landscape, giving the ability to
fine-tune the images the camera produces.
They enable the photographer to make optimal
choices based simply on the type of shooting.
These presets can be used in much the same
way one would use different types of film, and
more can be created using Canon’s included
Picture Style Editor Software. Individual
camera settings –such as sharpening, contrast,
color tone, and saturation– can be overridden if
need be. Select EOS models even feature Picture
Style Auto, which automatically determines
the best style for a particular scene.
Multiple Exposure Control
Cameras like the EOS-1D X,
EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 6D and
EOS 70D offer multiple
exposure shooting modes for
film-like image creation, with the convenience
of in-camera processing. It offers up to four
compositing methods for proper exposure
and composition: additive, average, bright
and dark (the EOS 6D and EOS 70D feature
additive and average only). Multiple exposure
shots from 2 to 9 are stored as one final image
and can be taken in both RAW and JPEG
shooting modes.
Landscape – Great for shooting nature scenes and blue skies, this setting enhances the blues
and greens typical in landscapes, and enhances saturation, contrast and sharpening.
High Dynamic Range – The camera automatically takes three shots at different exposures generating
a single composite image with a wide dynamic range, great for landscapes.
