The EOS system leads the way in professional AF technologies with multi-point AF systems that deliver an ever-increasing combination of accuracy and speed in diverse situations. Canon EOS cameras feature a number of dedicated autofocus modes designed to enhance reliability in specific shooting environments. One-Shot AF mode is ideal for static subjects – the camera rapidly selects the optimum focusing point, and the subject is instantly brought into focus even if it is off-center. AI Servo AF mode is excellent for moving subjects. Aided by a highly intelligent predictive focusing algorithm, it precisely tracks subject movement across the wide AF coverage area, automatically shifting the active focusing point vertically and horizontally as required. AI Focus AF mode, in which the camera automatically decides between One-Shot and AI Servo AF modes based on subject movement, is ideal for shooting unpredictable subjects. The EOS-1D X has a 61-Point High Density Reticular AF with EOS iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition) AF and AI Servo AF III for even more accurate subject tracking. AI Servo AF III uses new algorithms for even better predictive focus tracking performance with shooting subjects with unpredictable movement. The EOS 5D Mark III also features the 61-Point High Density Reticular AF with iFCL (Intelligent Focus Color Luminance) to capture perfectly exposed images. The new EOS 6D has a newly developed 11-Point AF system with a center cross-type AF point with EV -3 sensitivity for exceptional performance even in low-light situations and features customizable tracking sensitivity when shooting in AI Servo mode.
In response to user requests, a firmware update for the EOS-1D X is now available which further expands the capabilities of the sophisticated 61-Point AF system. The new firmware allows AF points in the EOS-1D X viewfinder to be illuminated in red when the shutter button is pressed halfway during AI Servo AF, for easy viewing of the selected point.
Additionally, the new firmware for the EOS-1D X allows cross-type autofocusing with the center AF point even when the maximum aperture of a Canon EF lens/extender combination becomes as small as f/8.

No matter the camera’s specifications, a clear, bright viewfinder is the photographer’s first tool for great images. Canon’s cutting-edge viewfinders, such as those on the EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 7D, offer an approximately 100% field of view. The EOS-1D X’s viewfinder has an approximate magnification of 0.76x, a viewing angle of 35 degrees, a 20mm eye-point and, with a new construction featuring aspherical lens elements, displays less distortion and color aberration than previous models. |
 |
Canon’s Intelligent Viewfinder found on the EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark III and the EOS 7D uses a transparent LCD to superimpose a customizable combination of focus points, image data and gridlines directly over the image. On the EOS-1D X and the EOS 5D Mark III, the AF status indicator can even be directed to display within or outside of the viewfinder’s image area. With the Intelligent Viewfinder, unlike with other cameras, the photographer has the choice of seeing shooting information or looking only at the scene in front of the camera, allowing the opportunity to concentrate simply on looking and composing the photograph without distraction – a great advantage in numerous shooting situations. |

EOS SLR cameras have always been associated with speedy operation. Select Canon EOS cameras offer up to 12 frames-per-second* continuous shooting (14 fps in Super High Speed Mode). Advanced Canon technologies improve other areas of camera responsiveness as well: the EOS-1D X has a shutter-release time lag of 55 microseconds, the viewfinder blackout time is approximately 0.055 sec. / 36ms or faster and the flash sync is 1/250 sec. Dedicated, quiet low-speed modes and self-timers add flexibility to speed.
|
*The maximum continuous shooting speed is restricted to 10 fps when the battery charge is less than 50% or when ISO speed is above 32000. If the camera’s internal temperature is low and ISO speed is above 20000, the maximum continuous shooting speed is restricted to 10 fps.

| All Canon EOS SLR cameras incorporate uniquely advanced exposure control systems, offering exceptionally precise AE (auto exposure) with the widest range of metering options. With full-frame Evaluative metering, the EOS SLR camera’s proven 35-zone, 63-zone, or 252-zone sensor is used in conjunction with specific focusing point data. The onboard microcomputer compares input from all zones and calculates optimum exposure using a sophisticated program. While Evaluative metering assures excellent results in even the most challenging lighting situations, advanced photographers can choose from among several additional metering options. The EOS-1D X features a dedicated DIGIC 4 Image Processor for powering a new sophisticated AE metering system, called the EOS iSA (Intelligent Subject Analysis) System. It features a 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor, which provides better face and color recognition for more stable performance under rapidly changing lighting conditions. The sensor has 252 distinct zones for general metering, with 35 zones used for low-light metering. |
 |
 |
Center-weighted average metering is available for those who prefer a more traditional pattern. |
|
Partial metering limits readings to sensor zones in the center of the image area, delivering more area-specific control. |
|
Spot metering can be taken at the center of the frame area or linked to an AF point. |

| Select EOS cameras offer a Multiple Exposure mode for film-like image creation with the convenience of in-camera processing. They offer 4 different compositing methods for proper exposure and composition: additive, average, bright and dark (EOS 6D features additive and average only). Multiple exposure shots can be taken in both RAW and JPEG shooting modes, previously captured RAW images can be used as a starting point, and cumulative results can be observed and corrected in real time on the camera’s LCD screen. For multiple exposure captures of quickly moving subjects, the EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III even have a specific continuous shooting multiple exposure mode. |

| Photographers who must change lenses in dusty environments will find the advanced Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System a tremendous time saver. It uses both mechanical and software methods to effectively deal with dust accumulation on the imaging sensor. Dust that settles on the low-pass filter is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This self-cleaning routine is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off. (It can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the sensor collects the loosened dust. The EOS-1D X uses new Ultrasonic Wave Motion Cleaning (UWMC) for improved vibration-based dust removal. Moreover, by shooting a plain white subject, the photographer can acquire dust position data to be transmitted along with the image (whether JPEG or RAW). Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) 3.2 or later software can then be used to manually or automatically erase the dust spots. In addition to the previous system, the updated EOS Integrated Cleaning System adds a Fluorine coating for better resistance to dust (EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 7D and EOS 60D only). |
