Software Development Kit

The Canon EOS Digital Camera Software Development Kit (EDSDK) and the Camera Control API (CCAPI) are available on select Canon cameras1 and enables developers to integrate select Canon cameras directly into their software application solutions, giving them access to remote control and communication functionality of the camera. The EDSDK supports USB communication on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems, while the CCAPI uses Wi-Fi (Ethernet on select cameras) and can be used with almost any OS.

The EDSDK and CCAPI (along with other SDKs and APIs) are provided free of charge and more information can be found at https://www.usa.canon.com/support/sdk.

Drive Modes and Continuous Shooting Speed Click here to view the full specifications PDF.
*1: Not available when set to [Dual Pixel RAW: Enable] (low-speed continuous shooting is used).
*2: With electronic first-curtain, continuous shooting speed is the same for Highspeed continuous + and High-speed continuous shooting.
*3: Slower maximum continuous shooting speed when set to Servo AF with lenses other than those in the lens list attached. For details on lenses that support the indicated continuous shooting speed, refer to the separate lens list.
* With electronic first-curtain, maximum continuous shooting speed is (or may be) reduced in flash photography, anti-flicker shooting, or Dual Pixel RAW shooting.
* With certain lenses, zooming during continuous shooting with electronic shutter may cause changes in exposure even at the same f/number. For detail on relevant lenses, refer to the separate lens list (and note that even with zoom lenses not listed, sudden zooming may cause flickering or changes in exposure).
HDR Shooting (HDR PQ) Disable / Enable
* Can be used in conjunction with Auto Lighting Optimizer.
Still Photo HDR PQ Click here to view the full specifications PDF.
Movie HDR PQ Click here to view the full specifications PDF.
HDR Mode Off / Moving sub. / Dynamic range
* [Dynamic range]: For each shot, three images are captured consecutively at different exposures (standard exposure, underexposure, and overexposure).
* [Moving sub.]: Output of a wide gradation without causing motion blur due to image composition by one exposure is possible.
* [Moving sub.]: Minimum ISO speed is ISO 800.
* When [HDR mode] is set, [Picture Style] options are limited to [Standard] and [Monochrome], and maximum shutter speed is 1/8000 sec.
* [Moving sub.]: [Electronic] shutter mode may increase subject distortion (due to rolling shutter).
* Shooting JPEG or HEIF images is supported.
* Can be set in conjunction with HDR shooting (HDR PQ), which enables shooting with a wide dynamic range ([Dynamic range]: up to approx. 3000 nits; [Moving sub.]: up to approx. 3000 nits).
Continuous HDR Shooting (still images) 1 shot only / Every shot
* Not available when set to [Moving sub.].
Shooting Times Click here to view the full specifications PDF.
*1: Time available for continuous shooting in 23°C / 73°F environment, from a cold start. If the camera is in LV mode standby before shooting or the ambient temperature is high, the shooting time may be shorter.
*2: According to Canon measurement conditions when using UHS-II cards conforming to Canon testing standards.
*3: The maximum duration of shooting may be shorter under some circumstances even if recording begins from "cold start," due to a rise in temperature inside the camera caused by pre-shooting camera setting operations or by prolonged use of the Live View mode. When the card is full, movie recording stops automatically. In this case, duration time when you erase the data and restart shooting.
