Canon EOS D60, Service Manual

Part 1: General Information
1-3
• Improved metering algorithm
Some users complained about how the meter reading changed even after the
picture was slightly recomposed. To address this problem, the
α
compensation
steps has been made finer (1/4f instead of 1/2f).
5) Drive
• Continuous shooting speed: Approx. 3 fps, Maximum burst: 8 frames
The EOS D30's maximum burst during continuous shooting in the Large/Fine
mode is approx. 8 shots. With other recording/compression modes, this
maximum burst increases or decreases.
The EOS D60 has a larger buffer memory to better handle the image's larger
data resulting from the high pixel count. The maximum burst of 8 shots can be
attained regardless of the image-recording format and ISO speed. The maximum
burst countdown is also displayed at the bottom of the viewfinder. With the EOS
D30, the maximum burst was 3 shots in the RAW mode.
With the EOS D60, it is now 8 shots. Thus, during continuous shooting, the
RAW mode has become more practical.
6) Image-recording format
•
Middle/Fine and Middle/Normal added
• Extracting JPEG-Middle/Fine files from RAW files
During RAW mode shooting, a JPEG-Middle/Fine file is also simultaneously
recorded within the .crw file. The JPEG-Middle/Fine file can be extracted from
the RAW file and saved (.jpg) with the dedicated driver (provided).
• File size and compression rate settable in Programmed Image Control modes
7) Information display
