６）Design and operation ease
⑴Design
The camera design is based on the following three concepts:
●New-generation design for advanced amateurs
A revamping of the old EOS 20D-series design.
●Joy of ergonomics
The successive steps of holding the camera, framing the subject, turning a dial, and
pressing a button all feel good.
●Joy of ownership
Cool-looking camera, making you a proud owner.
Key words: Heavy-duty, great design, nice shape, suited to adult tastes.
⑵Operation ease
Shooting functions are now assigned to
three buttons above the LCD panel. Through
these buttons, the most frequently-changed
settings are now accessible near the Main Dial
(Fig. 022). Similar to the EOS-1D Mark III, you
use the Main Dial to change the ISO speed, AF
mode, and metering mode. And you use the
Quick Control Dial to change the flash exposure
compensation, drive mode, and white balance.
Also, the menu operation method is now the
same as with the EOS-1D Mark III. The camera
operation method is being made uniform as
much as possible among the professional and
advanced amateur cameras. operation: ISO/AF/
