Software Development Kit
The Canon EOS Digital Camera Software Development Kit (EDSDK) enables developers to integrate select Canon cameras directly into their software application solutions, giving them access to remote camera control and communication functionality of the camera. There are two versions of the EDSDK compatible with Windows or Macintosh.
The Software Developer Kit is provided free of charge and can be found at https://www.usa.canon.com/support/sdk. To learn more please visit the Canon Developer Community site and register to download Canon’s SDKs.

Viewfinder
Type | Eye-level pentaprism |
Picture Coverage | 100 percent vertically and horizontally (20 mm eye relief) |
Magnification | 0.72x (-1 diopter with 50mm lens at infinity) |
Dioptric Adjustment | -3 to +1 diopter. (Standard diopter: -1 dpt) |
Focusing Screen | Interchangeable (9 types), Standard focusing screen: Ec-CIII |
Mirror | Quick-return half mirror (Transmission:reflection ratio of 37:63, no vignetting with EF 1200mm f/5.6 or shorter lens) |
Viewfinder Information | (1) On the screen: Area AF ellipse, focusing points, center spot metering circle (2)Below the screen: Manual exposure setting, AE lock, flash ready, unsuitable FE lock warning, high-speed sync (FP flash), shutter speed, FE lock (FEL), bulb (bulb), focusing point selection mode, depth-of-field AE (dep 1, 2), aperture, exposure compensation/flash exposure compensation, in-focus indicator. (3)Right of screen: Exposure level scale (±3 stops), exposure level indicator, flash exposure level, frame counter, frame count down indicator. |

Focusing Points | Area AF with 45 focusing points |
Focusing Point Selection | Any one focusing point, 45-point automatic selection, can be registered by pressing the Assist Button and FE lock button. Pressing the Assist Button and focusing point selector switches to the registered focusing point. |
Focus Modes | 1(1) One-Shot AF: Autofocus stops when focus is achieved, resulting in AF lock.(2) AI Servo AF: Tracks subject movement up to the start of exposure. No in-focus indicator (blinks at 8 Hz only if AF fails).(3) Manual focusing: Enabled with the focusing ring when the lens focus mode is set to MF (or M). Electronic manual focusing during continuous shooting and exposure is enabled with PB-E2 and NP-E2. |

Exposure Control
Metering Modes | TTL max. aperture metering with a 21 zone silicon photocell. 1. Evaluative metering (linkable to any point) 2. Partial metering (approx. 8.5% of viewfinder at center) 3. Center spot metering (approx. 2.4% of viewfinder at center) 4. Spot metering (linked to focusing point at approx. 2.4% of viewfinder) * During continuous shooting with metering modes (3) and (4), the first shot is metered in real time and the meter reading is locked (AE lock) for subsequent shots in the same burst. 5. Multi-spot metering (Max. 8 multi-spot metering entries) 6. Center-weighted averaging metering |
Metering Range | EV 0-20 (at 20° C/ 68° F with 50mm f/1.4lens, ISO 100 |
Exposure Modes | 1. Program AE(shiftable) 2. Shutter speed-priority AE( in 1/3,1/2 or full stops, safety shift enable with Custom Function) 3. Aperture-priority AE(in 1/3,1/2 or full stops, safety shift enabled with Custom Function) 4. Depth of field AE 5.

Exposure Compensation | 1. Auto exposure bracketing (AEB) : +/- 3stops in 1/3 stop increments. Standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure sequence. Repeated bracketing enabled according to current film advance mode. With self-timer, all three bracketed shots are taken in the continuous shooting mode regardless of the film advance mode. 2. Manual exposure compensation: +/-3 stops in 1/3-stop increments set with the Quick Control Dial or exposure compensation button on the Main Dial. 3. AEB and manual exposure compensation can be set together. |
AE Lock | Auto AE Lock: Operates in One-Shot AF mode with evaluative metering when focus is achieved. Manual AE lock: AE lock button activates Ae lock in all metering modes. Multiple exposures: Max 9 multiple exposures. Cancels automatically after all multiple exposures are taken.(Cancelable and resettable at any time.) |
