Rob Galbraith DPI: Specifications

Camera

Type	Single-lens reflex interchangeable lens digital camera
Construction	Magnesium alloy
Lens Mount	Canon EF
Lens Compatibility	Canon EF (not EF-S)
Autofocus System	• TTL-AREA-SIR utilizing CMOS-type AF sensor • 45-point Area AF (7 sensors are cross-type with f/2.8 or faster lenses) • AF detection range: 0 EV to +18 EV (ISO 100, normal temperature) • Focus modes: One Shot AF, AI Servo AF and manual • AF point selection: automatic or manual with user-selectable home position • Two AF microprocessors enables twice as many AF readings per unit of time as EOS-1D for improved AI Servo focus prediction and quicker acquiring of focus initially One Shot or AI Servo • AF-assist beam: none (can use AF-assist beam of compatible Speedlite)
Shutter	• Focal-plane shutter controls exposure time (in the original EOS-1D, exposure time is set by activating the CCD for an amount of time equivalent to the shutter speed) • Shutter is rated to 200,000+ cycles • Shutter derived from, but not the same as, that found in the EOS-1Ds and EOS-1V
Shooting Modes/Shooting Speed	• High-Speed Continuous: approx. 8.5 fps (adjustable) • Low-Speed Continuous: approx. 3 fps (adjustable) • 55ms shutter lag (can be reduced via Personal Function 26 to 40ms; this shortened lag achievable only when lens is set to maximum aperture) • 87ms mirror blackout (1/60th or faster shutter speed) • Approx. 40 frame JPEG buffer, 20 frame RAW/RAW+JPEG buffer (buffer capacity may float depending on JPEG compression setting selected) • When power switch is turned to Off, camera finishes writing all photos to the card before powering down • If the card door is opened mid-write, the camera pauses, then resumes writing once the card door is closed again
Ambient Metering	• 21-zone TTL full-aperture exposure metering system (outer 4 zones are partially outside EOS-1D Mark II's picture area) • Evaluative metering (linkable to any AF point) • Partial metering: approx. 13.5% of viewfinder in centre of frame • Centreweighted averaging metering • Spot Metering: 3.8% of viewfinder, either center focus point or active focus point • Multi-spot metering: up to 8 readings will be averaged
ISO Range	• 100 - 1600 in 1/3 step increments, plus 50 and 3200
Exposure	• 30-1/8000 second in 1/3 step increments, plus Bulb • Long exposure noise reduction possible (when enabled, reduction is applied for exposures of 1 second or longer) Exposure modes: • Program (shiftable) • Shutter Priority • Aperture Priority • Manual Exposure compensation possible: • -3 to +3 EV in 1/3 EV increments • Exposure bracketing and ISO speed bracketing possible
Flash	• E-TTL II flash exposure control with compatible Speedlite (including 550EX, 420EX and 380EX) • User selectable evaluative or averaging through-the-lens flash metering • Hot shoe and PC sync terminal included • Maximum standard flash sync speed: 1/250; compatible Speedlites will sync with camera above 1/250 only if High Speed Sync mode enabled • Flash sync well above the standard sync speed with non-dedicated flashes isn't expected to be possible, owing to the control of the exposure time by the shutter in the EOS-1D Mark II
Viewfinder	• Eye-level pentaprism • Eyepoint: 20mm • Built-in diopter adjustment of -3.0 to +1.0 • Frame coverage: Approx. 100% • Focusing screen is interrchangeable; Ec-CIII focusing screen standard; 9 focusing screens available in all • Built-in eyepiece shutter
Viewfinder Display	• AF points • Focus confirmation light • Exposure information including metering mode and ISO • Flash information including FE Lock indication • WB correction • JPEG format selected indicator • Remaining frames • CF/SD card information
Orientation Sensor	• Yes; photos are tagged internally within the EXIF metadata to indicate their orientation • Canon EOS Viewer Utility, Canon Digital Photo Professional and other compatible software will be able to present photos properly oriented
Self-Timer	Yes; 2 and 10 seconds
Microphone	Yes; camera records WAV format sound files up to 30 seconds in length
Customization	• 21 Custom Functions with 67 settings • 27 Personal Functions • Saving and loading of camera settings file possible

Sensor and Resolution

Type	• Canon-designed CMOS image sensor with 8-channel readout • Bayer pattern RGB filter array
Dimensions	• 28.7mm x 19.1mm sensor size • 8.2µm x 8.2µm pixel pitch
Sensor Output	• 12-bits per colour • Image data processed with Canon-designed DIGIC II processor
Actual Image Size	• Large: 3504 x 2336 pixels (about 8.2 megapixels) • Medium1: 3104 x 2072 pixels (about 6.4 megapixels) • Medium2: 2544 x 1696 pixels (about 4.3 megapixels) • Small: 1728 x 1152 pixels (about 2.0 megapixels)
Focal length cropping factor	Approx. 1.3x (relative to 35mm film frame)
Low-Pass Filter?	• Yes; multi-layer design incorporates two Lithium Niobate layers to reduce image aliasing, as well as two layers to reduce the amount of infrared light reaching the sensor • Located in front of, and attached to, the image sensor • Non-removable • Design is similar to that of the EOS-1Ds, though optimized for the pixel pitch of the EOS-1D Mark II
Microlenses	Yes

File Formats and Image Controls

File Formats	• JPEG (10 different compression levels, choosable in the camera, and 4 different output resolutions: Large, Medium1, Medium2 and Small) • RAW .CR2 (compressed, Large output resolution only) • Camera adheres to DCF 2.0 and EXIF 2.2.1 specifications Note: The file dimensions of Medium1, Medium2 and Small are generated by downsampling the sensor's full resolution image data
Colour Looks	Five standard colour looks are choosable in the camera, each of which combines a colour look and a colour space: • Color Matrix 1 (sRGB) • Color Matrix 2 (sRGB) • Color Matrix 3 (sRGB) • Color Matrix 4 (Adobe RGB (1998)) • Color Matrix 5 (sRGB) • Two additional Color Matrix settings are user-configurable, allowing for the creation of personal colour looks • An ICC profile isn't embedded into photos. The camera does, however, mark any photos it has processed out to Adobe RGB (1998) as such, through a clunky method allowed under the DCF 2.0/EXIF 2.2.1 specifications. • Camera includes White Balance Compensation function that enables adjustment of blue/amber and magenta/green colour bias in +/-9 steps
Auto White Balance	• 3000K to 7000K operating range • Auto white balance calculation performed from image data exclusively
Manual WB	• Tungsten (3200K) • Fluorescent (4000K) • Daylight (5200K) • Flash (5600K) • Cloudy (6000K) • Shade (7000K) • Kelvin: 2800K - 10,000K in 100K increments • White Balance Bracketing (+/-3 steps in 5, 10 or 15 mired increments)
Custom WB	• Custom White Balance (CWB) is read from area within spot metering circle • Up to 3 Personal White Balance settings can be stored in the camera
Parameters	Standard, plus 3 sets that are user-configurable in the camera
Contrast	• Standard tone curve • Up to 3 additional tone curves may be loaded into the camera • 5 increment Contrast control is combined with the active tone curve, allowing for a reduction or increase in contrast relative to the active tone curve
