Description:

  • CMOS Sensor:
The EOS-1Ds advantage begins with a full-frame CMOS sensor - developed and manufactured by Canon - with an imaging area of 24 x 36mm, the same dimensions used by full-frame 35mm SLRs. Finally, every EF lens will work the same on a digital SLR as it does on your 35mm film cameras, with the same coverage. Even for wide-angle shooters.
  • 11.1 MegaPixel Resolution:
The CMOS sensor of the EOS-1Ds has 11.1 million effective pixels with a maximum resolution of 4064 x 2704 pixels. This almost doubles the resolution currently considered state-of-the-art by most professionals, resulting in a quantum leap in digital image quality.
  • Low Power:
The NP-E3 battery pack lasts up to 600 exposures (at normal temperatures) on a single charge. This longevity was achieved by the CMOS sensor, which consumes less power than a CCD sensor of the same resolution, and by efficient electronic circuits that ensure electricity flows only to active componants, in the absolute minimum required amounts.
  • 2-Channel Reading:
Canon's newly developed 2-channel reading technology delivers the speed, respnsiveness and high quality that today's digital pros demand. It doubles the reading speed of previous systems, and turns the dream of combining incredible 11.1 millino pixel resolution with 3 fps shooting speeds into a reality.

  • Imaging Engine:
The EOS-1Ds's imaging engine is one of the keys to it's exceptional speed and image quality. This advanced chip processes image data to achieve the same color accuracy and wide tonal range as the high quality slide films often favored by profesionals. And even with almost twice the pixel resolution of previous pro cameras, it still supports a 10-frame buffer memory at framing rates up to 3 fps!

The EOS-1Ds's extensive noise reduction measures ensure images of consistent high quality. Dark current countermeasures and noise reduction processing in the imaging engine, for example, contribute to an extremely high S/N ratio, and an extremely low level of noise in the EOS-1Ds's images.
  • White Balance:
The EOS-1Ds's enables accurate overall color balance in different lighting conditions through an inncredible array of white balance (WB) options, including 10 white balance modes, a white balance bracketing function and a Canon exclusive - manual adjustment of color temperature in 100k increments from 2,800k ~ 10,000k.

  • Processing Parameters:
Default imaging settings can be adjusted in the camera, using Processing Parameters. Shooting in high or low contrast conditions? Add a parmeter set with an adjusted Tone Curve*, and call it up on the menu whenever you want. Similar changes can be made to the amount of JPEG compression, and two types o fin-camera sharpening.

*Tone curve settings must be customized and uploaded into the EOS-1Ds via computer.
  • Color Matrix:
Canon's unique Color Matrix function lets you select any of five different color characteristics (color saturation and color space). The Color Matrix 4 setting, for example, is optimized for Adobe RGB 1998 and provides a broad color spectrum with low saturation.

  • ISO Speed Settings:
The EOS-1Ds gives you unprecedented freedom with ISO speeds. Select any speed in the normal 100 to 1250 ISO range, in 1/3-stop increments, or even a setting of 50 via Custom Function 3-1 (C.Fn-3-1). ISO speed bracketing is also possible (+/- 3 stops in 1/3 increments), enabling exposure to be varied while keeping the same shutter speed and aperture settings.

  • Enlargement Mode:
The Enlargement Mode (P.Fn-30) allows magnified viewing of images on the camera's LCD. When the function is ON and a picture is taken, a small JPEG image is created and saved within the main image file. By pressing the display button, the JPEG image is displayed on the LCD, with a navigator at the bottom right that allows selection of the area to be magnified. This feature enales users to check images for camera movement, focusing accuracy, facial expressions, etc.

  • RAW & JPEG Recording:
With the EOS-1Ds you can record every shot in both the RAW and JPEG fromat simultaneously, at full speed, for maximum productivity. The RAW image format is ideal for printing and processing while the JPEG format is convenient for quickly checking images and transferring data.
  • IEEE1394 & FAT32:
The EOS-1Ds comes equipped with an IEEE1394 (Firewire) interface, allowing speedy plug-and-play data communication with computers. For studio photography, new 4.5m IEEE1394 cables are available. The camera automatically formats the CF card for either FAT 16 or FAT32 according to the maximum storage capacity. FAT32 is selected for capacities higher than 2GB
