Brilliant HD Recording on Demand
EOS HD Video with manual exposure control, multiple frame rates and selectable All i-‐frame or IPB compression
Addressing the requests of the pros and building on the unprecedented success of its namesake, the EOS 5D Mark III captures HD
video with a level of sophistication on par with professional movie cameras offering phenomenal performance on a DSLR. It offers
both All-‐I and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-‐4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT
specifications) for extended recording without interruption. It offers the option of timecoding during recording only (Rec Run) or at
all times (Free Run), useful for multi-‐camera shoots. It also features improved sound recording adjustment capabilities, offering 64-‐
step volume control accessible through the Quick Control screen during video shooting, plus a dedicated headphone jack for
convenience in shooting. The CMOS sensor's new drive system significantly increases image processor performance, reducing color
artifacts and moiré (a common problem that occurs in scenes with horizontal lines), and ensures that the EOS 5D Mark III can record
at a number of frame rates up to ISO 25600 in H mode.
All-‐I
Compresses each frame. Although the file size is larger than IPB, each frame is not affected by
the previous and next frames, making it suitable for editing and extracting frames.
IPB
Compresses the movie frame by referencing the previous and next frames. High compression is
used, making it suitable for recording long movies.

Incredibly Fast Image Capture
High-‐Speed Continuous Shooting
The EOS 5D Mark III combines fast 8-‐channel data readout from its 22.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor and the supercharged processing
capabilities of its DIGIC 5+ Image Processor with a speedier shutter and mirror system to raise the performance bar for all digital
cameras, capturing full-‐frame images and recording them fast to UDMA or SD cards stored in the camera’s dual card slots. Ideal for
fixed focus situations, the EOS 5D Mark III can shoot up to 6.0 fps (RAW + JPEG).
Phenomenal Performance in Any Condition
Magnesium alloy body with shutter durability and dust-‐ and weather-‐resistance
For professionals who demand nothing less than the best, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform superbly, even in the most
treacherous environments, every time. The body is constructed of rigid, high-‐strength magnesium alloy for rugged performance and
features a new grip design for easier finger placement and reduced hand fatigue. Its newly redesigned shutter has lightweight and
