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.

Picture Size 24 x 36mm
Compatible Lenses Canon EF lenses
Lens Mount Canon EF mount
External Flash Compatibility: E-TTL autoflash, A-TTL autoflash, TTL autoflash
LCD Panel Displays shooting, metering, AF, and film advance modes; shutter speed, aperture, frame counter, and battery level. Illumination provided.

Viewfinder

Type Eye-level pentaprism
Picture Coverage 97 percent vertically and horizontally
Magnification 0.72x( -1 diopter with 50mm lens at infinity)
Dioptric Adjustment -1 diopter (20mm eye relief)
Focusing Screen Interchangeable (9 types)
Mirror Quick-return half mirror (Transmission: reflection ratio of 37:63). No vignetting with EF 1200mm f/5.6 lens or a shorter lens.
Depth-of-Field Preview Enabled with depth-of-field preview button.

Autofocus

Type TTL-AREA-SIR with a CMOS sensor
Focusing Points Area AF with 45 focusing points (Custom Function No. 13 can limit this to 11)
Focusing Point Selection Automatic selection: Focusing point camera-selected.
Manual selection: Focusing point manually-selected.
Eye Controlled Focus: Focusing point eye-selected.
Focus Modes 1. One-Shot AF: Autofocus stops when focus is achieved. AF lock enabled. Shutter releases only when focus is achieved.
2. Predictive AF with Al Servo AF: Tracks subject movement up to the start of exposure. Predictive AF enabled. The shutter can be released at anytime regardless of focus (predictive AF control takes effect during continuous shooting), 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 switch is set to MF (or M).
4. Full- time manual focusing: Enabled with the electronic focusing ring during continuous shooting (except during film exposure).
5. In- focus indicator: Lights in viewfinder and beeps. (Beeper can be disabled.)
AF Focus Indictor Superimposed focusing point in viewfinder.
AF Working Range EV 0-18 (at ISO 100)
AF Assist Method Beam emitted automatically by the attached EOS Speedlite when necessary.

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&degC/ 68&degF 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. E-TTL program flash AE (high-speed sync, FE lock, and wireless control enabled with 550EX)
6.A-TTL program flash AE
7. TTL program flash AE
8. Manual
9. Bulb
ISO Film Speed Range ISO 6-6400 (Set automatically with DX-coded film at ISO 25-5000)
Exposure Compensation 1. Auto exposure bracketing (AEB) : +/- 3 stops 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.(Cancellable and resettable at any time.)

Shutter

Type Vertical-travel, focal-plane shutter with all speeds electronically-controlled.
Shutter Speeds 30 to 1/8000 sec in 1/3-stops, X-sync at 1/200 sec.
Shutter Release Soft-touch electromagnetic release
Self Timer Electronically controlled with 10 sec or 2 sec delay. Lamp blinks ( at 2Hz, then at 8Hz for the remaining two sec) Self-timer countdown on LCD panel. Self timer cancellable by turning the main switch to L.
Remote Control Quick-lock, three-pin remote control connector provided (N3 type.)

Built-in-Flash

Flash Contacts 1. Hot shoe: X-sync direct contacts
2. Below camera back latch: JIS B-type socket (threaded)
* Flash units connected to (1) and (2) can be used and fired simultaneously.

Film Transport

Film Loading Automatic loading with a sprocketless system. After film is loaded and the back is closed, it advances to frame 1 automatically, taking about 1 sec.
Film Transport Film advance system: Automatic film advance with built-in motor.
EOS-3 Single and Continuous shooting.
With Power Drive Booster PB-E2: Single, Low Continuous, and High Continuous.
Film Rewind At the end of the roll, automatic film rewind with a built-in motor. Midroll rewind possible. Approx. 4.5 sec. for 24-ex. film and approx. 6.5 sec. for 36-ex. film Rewind noise: 59 dB (High-speed rewind), 49 dB (Silent rewind)

Shooting

Continuous Shooting (Maximum frames/sec.)
Customer Functions Eighteen user-settable Custom Functions

Power Source

Battery 1. One 2CR5 lithium battery housed in the camera grip.
2. With Power Drive Booster PB-E2, 8 size-AA alkaline, Ni-Cd, or lithium batteries or Ni-MH Pack NP-E2. (Camera grip removed).
3.With Battery Pack BP-E1, 1 2 CR5 Lithium battery and 4 size-AA alkaline or Ni-Cd batteries(Camera grip removed)
Battery Check With battery check button pressed, battery level displayed in four levels on the LCD Panel.
Shooting Capacity While using an EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, 1/1000 sec. shutter speed, Eye Control, and continuous shooting mode, the following operations for each frame were executed: The lens was focused from infinity to the minimum distance and back, the shutter button was pressed halfway for 6 seconds, the picture was taken, and the settings were retained for 2 seconds. This operation cycle was repeated in continuous shooting mode and high-speed film rewind was used at the end of each roll.
