Compatible Lenses


Canon EF Lenses (except EF-S lens)


Lens Mount


Canon EF Mount (EF electronic signal transfer system)


External Flash


Speedlite 420EX is recommended for this camera. It uses E-TTL II flash exposure system as well as High-speed Sync to 1/4000 sec. & FE Lock. The camera is compatible with all EX/ EZ/ EG and E-series Canon Speedlites designed for EOS system cameras.


LCD Panel


EL backlighting; Data Display


Viewfinder


Type


Fixed eye-level pentaprism


Picture Coverage


90% vertical and 92% horizontal coverage of actual picture area


Magnification


0.70x magnification with 50mm lens at infinity


Dioptric Adjustment


Standard diopter of -1, user-adjustable from -2.5 to +0.5. (Eye relief: 19.5mm)


Mirror


Quick-return half mirror (60% reflection/40% transmission).


Viewfinder Information


Inside Image Area: Focusing points with superimposed display.
Below Image Area (from left to right): Eye Controlled Focus indicator (ELAN 7ne only); AE Lock/FE Lock symbol; flash ready signal; High-speed Sync in use signal; flash exposure compensation indicator; shutter speed and aperture indicating LEDs (blinks at 2hz when setting is unsuitable), also present DEP 1/DEP 2 information, calibration (Cal 1 to 5, END -1 to -3); exposure compensation scale/manual metering scale, Red-Eye Reduction lamp on/reduction progress indicator; in-focus indicator (blinks at 2hz when focus cannot be achieved).


Eyepiece Shutter


None


Autofocus


Type


TTL-CT-SIR (Through-the-Lens Cross-Type Secondary Image Registration) with CMOS sensor.


Focusing Point Selection


Selected automatically by camera or manually by user. Focusing point selection via Eye Controlled Focus available in ELAN 7ne only.


Focus Modes


(1) One-Shot AF; (2) Predictive AF with AI Servo AF; (3) AI Focus AF; (4) Manual.


Focus Operation


(1) AF activated by pressing the shutter button halfway; (2) Pressing AE Lock button, (with CFn 4-1 active).


AF Focus Indictor


Icon in viewfinder (LCD), superimposed (SI) focusing point display, and beeper.


AF Working Range


EV 1~18 (at ISO 100 with the standard chart).


AF Assist Method


Intermittent bursts fired by built-in flash (no patterned beam), or by AF Assist beam in Canon Speedlites.


Exposure Control


Metering Modes


TTL max. aperture with a 35-zone silicon photocell. Three metering modes available: (1) Evaluative, (2) 10% partial metering linkable to the focus point by Custom Function control, (3) Center-weighted average metering.


Metering Range


EV 1~20 (ISO 100).


Exposure Modes


(1) Intelligent Program AE with variable shift; (2) Shutter speed Priority AE; (3) Aperture-Priority AE; (4) Depth-of-Field AE (DEP); (5) Full Auto; (6) Programmed Image Control: Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports and Night Scene; (7) Manual; (8) E-TTL II Program Flash; (9) A-TTL Program Flash; (10) TTL Program Flash.


Multiple Exposure


Up to nine exposures can be preset. Automatically clears upon completion.


Exposure Compensation


(1) Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) to +/- 2 stops in 1/2-stop increments, repeatable. May be used in Intelligent Program, Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority, Depth-of-Field, and Manual modes only. (2) User-set exposure compensation up to +/- 2 stops, in 1/2-stop increments, with Quick Control Dial. (3) Flash Exposure.


Flash Metering


35-zone E-TTL II autoflash system incorporating lens focusing distance with compatible EF Lenses, linked to AF point (with optional EX-series Speedlites). 3-zone TTL Flash metering linked to focus point (with built-in flash, and all other EX-series Speedlites).


Shutter


Type


Vertical-travel, focal-plane shutter with all speeds electronically controlled. First and second curtains both have dedicated electromagnetic release control.


Shutter Speeds


1/4000 to 30 sec. (in 1/2-stop increments), plus bulb.


Maximum X-Sync Speed


1/125 sec.


Self Timer


When selected, ten-second delay and flashing red LED on camera front.


Remote Control


Built-in sensor for use with optional wireless Remote Controller RC-1. Remote control terminal for optional 2-ft. RS-60E3 Remote Control Cord.


Built-in-Flash


Type


Built-in, retractable TTL automatic flash; pop-up automatically when needed in low light/backlight situations except when in Landscape, Sports or Creative Zone modes; manual activation (pull up by hand) in P, Av, Tv, M modes.


Flash AE Controls


TTL automatic flash control by metering light reflected off film plane. In Programmed AE modes, flash aperture is set according to TTL program. In Aperture-Priority AE and Manual modes, user sets flash AE aperture. In Shutter-Priority AE, aperture is set to match shutter speed selected (1/125 sec. or slower).
