New Features in
EOS Utility and DPP
Unlike many competitive DSLR models that come with only basic download and view software
applications, both the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 50D comes bundled with Canon’s Digital
Photo Professional (DPP) version 3.5, a powerful—and free—RAW conversion and optimization
utility. DPP features an intuitive user interface and an integrated browser that speeds the
selection, cropping, and export of both RAW and JPEG images, either as single images or
as multiple images in batch processing mode. Among its powerful RAW conversion utilities,
DPP contains sophisticated exposure and white balance controls, adjustable Picture Style
settings, noise reduction controls and lens aberration correction with more power than the
camera’s built-in Peripheral Illumination Correction (PIC) function. There’s also Chromatic
Aberration correction for RAW images which can be applied before they’re processed.
RAW images from the EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II require DPP version 3.5 or higher.
But DPP v.3.5 is also compatible with RAW files from previous EOS Digital SLRs, going
back as far as the 3.0-megapixel EOS D30. Version 3.5 can also process RAW images from
the compact PowerShot G10 camera (however, it cannot process RAW files from earlier
PowerShot models).
In addition to DPP, both cameras will include the following programs on the EOS Digital
Solution Disk Ver.19.1:
• EOS Utility 2.5.1 (Win/Mac)
• Picture Style Editor 1.4.1 (Win/Mac)
• ZoomBrowser EX 6.2.1 (Win)
• ImageBrowser 6.2.1 (Mac)
• PhotoStitch 3.1/3.2 (Win/Mac)
• Memory Card Utility 1.2 (Win/Mac)
• WFT Utility 3.2 (Win/Mac)
• Original Data Security Tools 1.5 (Win)
• Win 2000 driver (Vista and XP has a built-in driver)
Zoombrowser EX 6.2.1 and ImageBrowser 6.2.1 will also include updated controls that enable basic clip editing of movies shot with the EOS 5D Mark II.
