Canon’s Newest Digital
Powerhouse
Developed to maximize performance
between the capture and recording
stages of digital photography, the
EOS 40D’s

III
Image Processor is faster
and more powerful than ever. This latest-gener-
ation
≥
III
Image Processor works in concert
with Canon’s CMOS sensor to achieve even
higher levels of performance. It’s a key reason
for both the EOS 40D’s incredible speed and
improved image quality. Color reproduction
and noise reduction in low light situations are
dramatically improved.
As Fast As The Action
The EOS 40D is the fastest digital
SLR ever offered at this price
level. It shoots as fast as an
incredible 6.5 fps, making it ideal for every-
thing from wildlife to sports. And that’s for up
to 75 JPEGs, or 17 RAW images in one burst.
Whether it's the 0.15-second startup time, the
high-speed mirror drive, the brief shutter lag
time (only 59 msec.), or the predictive AF
focusing for capturing the action, the EOS 40D
will get you your shot.
Dust Control,
Guaranteed
The EOS 40D’s Self
Cleaning Sensor Unit combats stray dust that
can enter the camera when changing a lens or
in dusty conditions. The sensor’s front low-pass
filter is cleaned automatically with ultrasonic
vibrations every time the camera is turned on
or off. Removed dust adheres to material
around the filter to ensure it stays off. Dust
missed by the camera’s cleaning unit can be
Inspired. By Canon.
Canon listens to
photographers’ needs and has
built an imaging system second
to none, and a system that is a
natural extension of the way
I want to work. Canon equip-
ment is so user friendly, it never
gets in the way of making
great images.

Always Ready to Shoot
Turn the EOS 40D on, and it’s ready to go in a
scant 0.15 sec. If you wait before focusing, the
EOS 40D’s Self Cleaning Sensor is automatically
activated, ensuring no dust interferes with the
next photo.
Solid, Magnesium Construction
The EOS 40D has a solid, substantial feel that
complements its compact dimensions. Designed
to withstand the rigors of everyday use, it is
constructed with lightweight and ultra-rigid
magnesium-alloy that fits perfectly in your hands.
Rugged Inside and Out
When you demand flawless performance
again and again, choose the EOS 40D. It
has a high-speed shutter unit, designed to
respond in an instant, reaching a top
shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. and tested
to withstand a remarkable 100,000-cycle
shutter life. A top flash sync speed of 1/250
sec. ensures full flash
flexibility, in bright
or dim light.

Canon’s software
solution and Dust Delete Data test shot, which
identifies the location and size of dust spots
on the image file and erases them.* This one-
two punch of both hardware and software pro-
tection ensures a dust free image, saving hours
of time in post-production.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
The EOS Integrated Cleaning System uses
both hardware and software technologies to
ensure a dust free image.

ultrasonic vibrations to remove dust.
The location and size of the dust is detected as the
Dust Delete Data. Digital Photo Professional then
uses the Dust Delete Data to erase the dust spot.*
