User manual CANON EOS-1D X BROCHURE

[. . . ] Power to perform Performance redefined Tv (Shutter Speed): 1/1250 Av (Aperture Value): f/5. 0 ISO Speed: 4000 Lens: EF400mm f/2. 8L IS II USM Focal length: 400. 0mm Image quality from the EOS-1D X impresses whatever the conditions. High resolution and wide dynamic range are accompanied by accurate skin-tone reproduction and colour depth. And when light levels get low, the EOS-1D X keeps performing with high-ISO capabilities that have to be seen to be believed. Continuous shooting at rates up to 14 fps* are complimented by a sophisticated 61-point autofocus system that tracks objects, recognises faces with more accuracy than ever before. The EOS-1D X is as at home on location as it is in the studio. [. . . ] The famous EOS-1 series integrated vertical shooting grip now offers a greater level of duplicate controls when shooting portrait-orientation images, right down to the depth-of-field preview and custom function buttons. Menu system The rear of the camera is home to a 8. 11cm (3. 2") 1, 040, 000-dot Clear View II LCD screen for browsing menu systems and reviewing the camera's status at a glance. The menu system is easy to navigated using the multi-way controller and now contains dedicated tabs for AF and Movie Mode functions, as well as a customisable My Menu section. A Quick Control screen, showing a summary of the camera's status, is displayed with a single press of the Q button on the rear of the camera and offers quick access to many of the camera's functions. Pressing the info button displays a feature guide: help screens that explain each of the menu options in a clear, concise fashion. Viewfinder A large, bright viewfinder make composing images with the EOS-1D X a pleasure. Approximately 100 per cent coverage ensures framing accuracy, while a transparent LCD panel overlays AF information, keeping you informed of where the camera is focusing. The amount and type of information provided in the camera's viewfinder can be customised to suit personal preferences. Display grid lines to help with architectural or copy work, and choose how focus points are shown: all of the time or disappearing once focus lock has been established. Clear View II LCD screen The camera's Clear View II LCD screen displays sharp, bright, colourful images and is made from toughened glass. The space between the glass and the screen is filled with an electrostatic gel that minimises reflections, even in bright sunlight. Customisation We are all different, which is why the EOS-1D X can be set up just the way you like it. Dozens of custom functions allow fine-tuning of the camera's behaviour, and most controls ­ including two multi-function buttons ­ can be assigned to perform different tasks while shooting. Autofocus and exposure metering can be configured exactly to your preferences ­ whether you are shooting sports on location or fashion in the studio. And when you've found the perfect set-up, configurations can be saved to memory card for instant recall or even transfer to another EOS-1D X body. 16 17 Locations provided with dustproof and drip-proof measure From war zone to touchline, the EOS-1D X delivers reliable performance time after time. Comprehensive weather sealing protects against dust and moisture, while a magnesium-alloy chassis provides strength without adding weight. Designed to perform. Built to last. Dual card slots, which support the latest UDMA 7 high-speed memory card standard, provide space for a second CF memory card, enabling RAW and JPEG files to be stored on separate media. EOS integrated cleaning system Conventional sensor-cleaning technology shakes off dust and dirt by vibrating the protective filter that sits in front of the camera's sensor. The EOS-1D X takes this concept further by using carrier waves to roll debris away from the sensor's surface ­ an approach that removes even the smallest of particles. The camera's low-pass filter is also coated with an anti-static fluorine coating to help keep pictures free from dirt and dust spots. This combination of anti dust technology minimises the time required to retouch images and clean your camera, so you can spend more time shooting pictures and give your clients a faster turnaround. Versatile power source The EOS-1D X is powered by a single LP-E4N battery, but also retains compatibility with existing LP-E4 batteries from EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1D Mark III and EOS-1D Mark IV cameras. Up to 1120 shots can be made on a single charge. The camera's focal plane shutter is tested to 400, 000 activations. 18 Dual card slots provide space for a second CF memory card, enabling RAW and JPEG files to be stored on separate media. 19 Connectivity and camera control WiFi and GPS adaptors Wireless control over a Canon EOS-1D X is possible using the WFT-E6 wireless adapter. Enjoy wireless shooting directly to a PC or Mac on a wireless network, or operate the camera remotely using EOS Utility or the WFT server function. Geotagging of images ­ where location and altitude data is embedded into the metadata of each image file ­ is possible using a GPS receiver. The camera-powered GP-E1 connects via the EOS-1D X's System Extension socket, while the hotshoemounted GP-E2 is independently powered and supports data-logging capabilities. FTP Transfer Extend the functionality of the EOS-1D X and discover new creative avenues, with multiple options for tethered shooting and remote camera control. Transfer images to an FTP server Gigabit Ethernet for wired LAN access EOS Utility Use EOS Utility to capture, view, and download images remotely As well as storing images on Compact Flash memory cards, the EOS-1D X can write files directly to a PC or Mac using a tethered connection, or wirelessly with an optional WFT-E6 WiFi transmitter. Such tetheredshooting techniques allow images to be inspected on a large colour-calibrated computer screen as they are being shot, so you (and your clients) can see exactly what is happening at every stage of the shoot. Photographers working to tight deadlines will benefit from built-in Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. When shooting in LAN-equipped locations, such as sports stadiums, images can be transmitted from camera directly to a picture editor for captioning, editing and that all-important first publication. EOS Utility for direct camera control The EOS-1D X can be set up for tethered shooting using USB 2. 0 or Gigabit Ethernet connections, or configured for wireless operation with the WFT-E6 WiFi adaptor.
