halfway (as on the EOS 20D), pressing the Playback button, the Menu button or the AE
Lock button will now also perform the same task. This is another handy improvement.
The high-speed and high-quality image processing with the DiG!C II Image Processor,
together with white balance adjustments, color space selection (sRGB, Adobe RGB),
Design rule for Camera File System 2.0, Exif 2.21 and other basic specifications related
to image processing and recording, protection and deletion, with the exception of
Picture Style, are the same as those of the EOS 20D.
The thirteen possible combinations of image recording quality and their respective file
sizes are given here:
As with the EOS 20D, the following is possible: Single image display (image plus basic
information or image only/no information), shooting information display (information
plus reduced image), 9-image index (9 images plus basic information or 9 images only),
magnified view (magnified image plus basic information or magnified image only/no
information), jump display (as on the EOS 5D), auto play, auto play right after shooting,
image protect, and image rotation. When C.Fn-17-1 is set, the image can be magnified
in the display right after shooting, making it easier and quicker to check focus. The
content displayed for the single image with info mode is the same as on the EOS 5D.
For the jump display, in addition to jumping by 10 images, one can now jump by 100
images or jump by shooting date. This feature is especially convenient when there are
many images on the CF card.
