1. FEATURES
1.1 High-Performance, High-Precision Area AF
●
The world’s fastest continuous shooting speed of 9 fps in predictive AI Servo AF
mode.
●
8
×
15mm Area AF for easy subject capture.
●
Improved AF performance.
●
Focusing point registration and shifting and limiting the selectable focusing
points to 11 or 9 result in faster focusing point selection.
●
Active, superimposed focusing points are brighter by over 2 stops.
1.2 High-Speed, Quiet Film Transport
●
AF SLR camera boasting the world’s fastest continuous shooting speed at approx.
10 fps (in the One Shot AF mode w/PB-E2 and NP-E2).
●
Built-in motor drive enables approx. 3.5 fps continuous shooting.
●
Film transport noise level is on par with the EOS-1N’s.
1.3 High Reliability
●
Moving parts are thoroughly sealed for excellent water and dust resistance.
• Grip’s new battery chamber cover is lined with packing.
• The Remote control/Data transfer terminal cap is fixed on the camera to pre-
vent loss and it protects the terminal against water.
• New lens mount coupling surface which matches the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
and later lenses equipped with an O-ring for enhanced water and dust resis-
tance.
●
Rigid magnesium alloy top and front covers with highly durable metallic finish.
●
Shutter durability of 150,000 cycles.
●
The grip mount and electrical contacts (system connector) are bipolar to enhance
reliability.
●
Ambient temperature range for normal operation is -20°C to +45°C with 95%
maximum humidity. (Film ID imprinting is assured down to -10°C.)
1.4 Excellent Basic Features
●
The algorithm for 21-zone evaluative metering and E-TTL autoflash metering has
been improved for better metering stability.
●
Ultra-high speed, high-precision shutter for 30 sec. - 1/8000 sec. and X-sync at
1/250 sec.
●
100% viewfinder coverage, dioptric correction, and built-in eyepiece shutter.
●
Laser Matte focusing screen with Area AF ellipse.
●
Short viewfinder blackout time of 87 ms (approx. 38% shorter than the EOS-1N’s
140 ms and 17% shorter than the EOS-3’s 105 ms). Insures stable viewfinder
image during continuous shooting.
●
Shutter release time lag is short and fixed at 55 ms for all lenses set at the maxi-
mum aperture or up to three stops smaller. See 3. Specifications, item 5-4.
●
Infrared film can be used.
●
Film ID imprinting enabled for easier identification and organization of film rolls.
