Unleash Your Creativity
with EOS SLR Cameras.

Image
Processor
Developed to maximize perform-
ance between the capturing
and recording stages of digital
photography, Canon's DIGIC Image Processor
chips use advanced signal-processing tech-
niques to dramatically enhance image quality
and deliver a more intuitive, responsive camera.
The latest-generation DIGIC Image Processors
work in concert with Canon's CMOS sensors to
achieve even higher levels of performance. Signal
processing algorithms work with the multichannel
signal from the sensor and the high-speed DDR-
SDRAM buffer to deliver significantly improved
camera response. Power consumption has been
further reduced for even longer battery life.
CMOS Sensor
Taking advantage of its
own proprietary tech-
nologies, Canon develops
and produces its own
10
CMOS sensors. It fulfills the primary functions of
an imaging sensor – sensitive, accurate, low
noise capture of image data – with electrifying
performance. Unlike CCD sensors, CMOS sensors
convert and amplify signals before they are
transferred to the image processor, enabling them
to produce exceptionally clean image data and
reduce power consumption by as much as 90%.
Developed in three sizes (Full-frame, APS-H and
APS-C), they incorporate the latest in CMOS
engineering advances, significantly reducing
digital noise and expanding the useful ISO range.
Canon Digital Trinity
Canon's CMOS sensor captures images with exceptional
clarity and tonal range. Canon's DIGIC Image Processor
dramatically enhances image quality and speeds up all
camera operations for intuitive operation. The sensor and
processor work in concert with Canon's superlative EF and
EF-S lenses, forming the ultimate Digital Trinity.
EF Lenses
With nearly 60 EF lenses, the EOS System boasts
one of the world's most comprehensive selection
of autofocus lenses. All EF lenses feature
Canon's advanced optical technology, offering
quality, breadth and scope to photographers
everywhere. L-Series lenses have a reputation
in the professional photography world for
remarkable performance. Their lens construction
typically includes UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass,
fluorite or aspherical elements coated with
Super Spectra Coating for incredible clarity and
brilliant colors. EF-S lenses were developed for
EOS SLRs with APS-C size sensors. Lightweight
and compact, these lenses take advantage of the
sensor's size to deliver optimized performance
without compromising image quality. Specialty
lenses are also available such as macro, fish-eye
and tilt-shift lenses.
Optical Image
Stabilizer
To help prevent blurred
images when shooting in
low light or at slow shutter speeds, many EF
lenses are equipped with Optical Image Stabilizer
technology that corrects camera shake by shifting
a lens group to realign the image on the imaging
sensor or film. Other systems are limited by
how far they can move an image sensor, and as
a result, their stabilization is less effective when

telephoto lengths get longer. Also, with Optical
Image Stabilizer you can see it working right in
the viewfinder – impossible with some other
stabilizer systems.
Full HD Video
The EOS 7D, 5D Mark II and
Rebel T1i offer recording of
Full HD 1080p video in Live View Mode. And
the advantages move way beyond the ability to
shoot on your SLR—the wealth of high-speed
lenses and shooting accessories that make
EOS photography so remarkable can also be
used in shooting video. To see the HD video
and photos on your HDTV directly from the
camera, simply connect the camera and TV
with a mini-HDMI cable.
EOS Integrated
Cleaning System
Using ultrasonic vibrations
to remove dust, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
combats stray dust that can enter the camera
when changing a lens or when out in the field.
In addition, any dust missed by the cleaner can
be removed by Canon's
Dust Delete Data
Detection software.
This combination of
hardware and software
technologies ensure a
dust-free image.
EOS System
Accessories
The EOS System is unrivaled in
its comprehensive array of
accessories, ranging from battery
grips to focusing screens to
remote controls, that enhance
power, customization and versatility.
Also, EOS cameras and EX-series Speedlites
work in tandem to deliver great exposures and
automatically balanced fill-in-flash.
