Major specifications
• All the specifications above are based on Canon's testing
and measure standards.
• The camera's specifications and physical appearance are subject to change without
notice
Full Frame
Having a full frame sensor the same size & aspect ratio as 35mm film has long been the
holy grail of digital photography, but the EOS-1Ds also delivers what has so far not been possible, ultra-high resolution in the SLR format. Another long-awaited benefit of a full frame sensor is that it allows the use of wide-angle lenses without any focal length magnification, a traditional limitation of previous digital cameras.
High Resolution
The EOS-1Ds has made a huge leap in resolution by means of the continuous
development of the CMOS sensor. Canon’s groundbreaking CMOS technologies deliver high resolution, low noise and low power consumption, allowing photography to make a quantum leap in terms of digital image quality. Featuring 11.1 effective mega pixels the EOS 1Ds provides the highest image quality with a digital AF-SLR camera. With its extremely high resolution, the EOS-1Ds has been designed to meet the needs of those professional photographers who need the ultimate in digital image quality. Therefore, it is will be ideal for professionals active in a wide range of specialties including studio, commercial, reportage, or fashion photography.
Professional and quick response
The EOD-1Ds can capture images at approximately 3 frames per second for a 10-frame
burst, even at the highest quality setting. It features the same shooting functions and operation system as the EOS 1D. The EOS 1Ds has fast shutter speeds with a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 sec and X-sync at 1/250 sec. Users have the choice of an ISO speed range of 100-1250 and ISO 50 provided with custom functions. Photographers also benefit from the high speed, high precision 45 –point area auto focus and 21-zone metering.
Expanding Canon’s professional Digital SLR range
The EOS 1Ds tops Canon’s flagship professional digital range, which now can claim dual
world records for both the highest resolution, with the EOS-1Ds, and the fastest speed, with the EOS-1D. The highly successful EOS D60 also now gives photographers a choice of camera to best meet their needs.
Colour Quality
The EOS-1Ds sees the introduction of Canon’s new imaging engine. This has been
specially designed to achieve high image quality, excellent colour reproduction and a wide tonal range equal to, or better than, the 35mm slide film often favoured by professionals. In addition, the CMOS sensor’s extremely high signal to noise ratio means that noise is minimized, even at the equivalent of ISO 1250.
Reliability
The EOS-1Ds incorporates outstanding professional features globally acclaimed in the
multi award winning EOS-1D including the same dust and water resistance. The Chassis and external covers are made of magnesium allow for light weight and excellent rigidity. The shutter has been tested to an awesome 150,000 exposures.
Additional features
In response to customer requests, an image enlargement function has been introduced.
25 sections of a selected image can be enlarged on the camera’s LCD screen, thus allowing users to check for detail & sharpness.
As CMOS sensors consume less power than CCDs, battery life has been improved, so that the NP-E3 battery pack can now capture up to 600 exposures on one charge***.
With the high-speed FireWire standard, IEEE1394, enabling 50 Mbps throughput, high transfer speeds allow rapid plug & play downloads to a computer. CF cards can be formatted in either the FAT16 or FAT32 file system. Formatting in FAT32 is intended for high-capacity CF cards over 2GB and is selected automatically by the camera when formatting this type of card.
Other leading innovations include the unique ability to dial in colour temperatures to meet specific lighting conditions. 10 White Balance (WB) modes and WB bracketing provide maximum flexibility and superb colour accuracy. ISO speed bracketing allows photographers to fix aperture and shutter speeds, yet shoot at 3 different equivalent film speeds. Such advances offer the professional advanced creative opportunities.
Entirely new software is available for the EOS-1Ds from the EOS Digital Solutions Disk and is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems. The camera also features a CF card type I/II slot enabling the use of CF cards and IBM Microdrives.
An optional accessory, the Data Verification Kit DVK-E1 consists of a dedicated IC card and card reader, together with special software for Windows 2000/XP. This allows one to check that the EOS-1Ds' image files have remained absolutely unaltered after being circulated. This may well be a landmark for digital imaging in law enforcement, copyright and many other areas. Availability of this is to be confirmed.
The EOS-1Ds is compatible with over 60 of Canon’s EF lenses. Canon has also extended its professional photographic system by introducing the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX for extremely versatile macro flash photography.
