[. . . ] An EOS exclusive feature, AI Servo uses Artificial Intelligence to determine the vector of moving subjects before focusing the lens to a predicted position. PORTRAIT To emphasise the subject, aperture is maximised to narrow depth of field and create background blur. Drive mode is set to Continuous Shooting (3 fps Low-Speed in the EOS 40D). NIGHT PORTRAIT Ideal for shooting people at sunset, this setting uses flash to illuminate the subject and a long exposure for the background. A tripod is recommended to prevent motion blur. LANDSCAPE Combines slower shutter speeds with smaller aperture settings to increase the depth of field. The built-in flash is disabled even if raised, making this mode good for flash-free night scenes. FLASH OFF Avoids harsh flash and encourages long exposures by disabling both the internal and any external flash. [. . . ] For extra speed and precision, all 9 points on the EOS 40D are cross-type ­ locking onto subjects faster than the human eye, even in low light or low contrast settings. An ultra-sensitive central AF point, oriented at 45° for improved accuracy, functions with f/. 8 and faster lenses. 7 Wildlife 8 Few subjects are as unpredictable as wildlife. Fast reactions are essential, and opportunities for great shots rare. EOS technology gives you the upper hand when capturing split-second encounters with the natural world. GETTING CLOSE Lightweight enough to take into the field, the EF 70-00mm f/4L IS USM is the perfect wildlife telephoto. EF and EF-S lenses keep Image Stabilization (IS) where it belongs ­ in the lens. Tailored to the specific lens on which it is deployed, Canon's IS reduces image blur when shooting without a tripod. A particularly useful feature for wildlife photography is Mode , which turns off IS automatically in the horizontal or vertical direction when deliberate panning is detected. © Andy Rouse Two-Motor System Shutter-cocking system Motor-driving system DO NOT DISTURB Motorised and dampened in both directions, the whisperquiet mirror mechanism on Shutter-cocking motor the EOS 40D won't frighten Secondary mirror-bounding timid subjects.

Available in Live View mode, an electronic st curtain shutter mimics the high speed mechanical shutter, allowing virtually silent operation in extra sensitive situations. LOCK ONTO YOUR TARGET Canon's Auto Focus system uses widely distributed focus points, locking quickly and accurately on off-centre subjects and supporting `rule-of-thirds' compositions. And whether shooting a charging rhino or stampeding children, AI Servo AF mode tracks subjects advancing or retreating at up to 50km/h, at distances as near as 8 metres away*. * Approx. shooting distance when using an EF 300mm f/2. 8L IS USM lens. EASY HANDLING FOR ELUSIVE SUBJECTS Both cameras are built for enjoyable, intuitive handling. With the EOS system's dedicated range of macro lenses and accessories, you can customise your set-up to capture even the tiniest subjects ­ in breathtaking, perfectly-lit detail. KEEP STILL Vibrations from the movement of an SLR camera's mirror can result in image blur, particularly during macro shooting. To avoid this, both the EOS C500 PL and EOS 40D feature a mirror lock function, to secure the mirror before firing the shutter. And with a Canon wired or wireless controller, you can position and focus your camera and fire the shutter remotely, reducing any possibility of image blur. LIGHTING FOR A TINY WORLD Discover the secret to evenly lit subjects with Canon's specialised flash units. This compelling RAW converter, included with both cameras, delivers an extensive array of adjustment and output functions ­ including Canon's unique Lens Correction feature. By matching the exact EF or EFS lens specification and using focal length and distance information stored by the camera, this application works to correct those minute aberrations that can occur even with the highest-quality glass. Several other functions also integrate with camera features. Working with the Dust Delete Data function on both models, Digital Photo Professional can recognise and remove any stubborn dust spots visible on your images. Picture Style Editor, also supplied, allows you to create your own Picture Styles ­ either by tweaking current styles to your liking or creating new styles for special effects. Get ready for total control over every aspect of your digital negative. 6 SYSTEM CHART EOS 40D Eyepiece Extender EP-EX15 ST-E2 220EX 430EX 580EX II Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 Remote Switch RS-80N3 Wireless Controller LC-5 Rubber Frame Eb E-series Dioptric Adjustment Lenses EF lenses Bundled Accessories EF-S lenses Focusing Screen Ef-A Eyecup Eb Video Cable VC-100 Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3/WTF-E3A TV/Video USB external media Angle Finder C Wide Strap EW-100DGR EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk Focusing Screen Ef-D Ef-S Date / time CR2016 lithium battery Software Instruction Manual USB GPS unit Battery Charger CG-580 or CB-5L Battery Pack BP-511A Interface Cable IFC-200U Wireless LAN access point Wireless LAN adapter Ethernet port Interface Cable IFC-500U Battery Grip BG-E2N Battery Pack BP-511A, BP-514 Compact Power Adapter CA-PS400 Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 Battery Magazine BGM-E2 AC Adapter AC-E2 DC Coupler DR-400 Car Battery Cable CB-570 Battery Charger CG-570 Compact Power Adapter CA-570 Personal computer Windows Vista Windows XP Windows 2000 Mac OS X USB port Card reader PC card slot AC Adapter Kit ACK-E2 CF card PCMCIA adapter PictBridge-compatible printer SYSTEM CHART EOS C500 PL Eyepiece Extender EP-EX15II ST-E2 220EX 430EX 580EX II Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX Remote Controller RC-1 Remote Controller RC-5 Rubber Frame Ef Remote Switch RS-60E3 E-series Dioptric Adjustment Lenses Bundled Accessories EF lenses EF-S lenses Eyecup Ef Angle Finder C Wide Strap EW-100DB lll Video Cable VC-100 TV/Video EOS DIGITAL Software Instruction Solution Disk Manual PictBridge-compatible printer Semi-hard Case EH19-L Battery Pack LP-E5 Interface Cable IFC-200U AC Adapter Kit ACK-E5 Battery Grip BG-E5 Battery Charger LC-E5 or LC-E5E DC Coupler DR-E5 Car Battery Charger CBC-E5 Battery Magazine BGM-E5L for two LP-E5 battery packs Battery Magazine BGM-E5A for size-AA batteries Compact Power Adapter CA-PS700 Interface Cable IFC-500U USB port Personal computer Windows Vista Windows XP Windows 2000 Mac OS X Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3 Card reader PC card slot SD memory card PCMCIA adapter 7 SPECIFICATIONS EOS 40D IMAGING Imaging Element/Effective Pixels Effective Sensor Size Colour Filter Type Low-Pass Filter 35mm Focal Length Equivalent CMOS/approx. x 4. 8mm RGB Primary colours Built-in / Fixed with Self Cleaning Sensor Unit Approx. . 6 x Compact Flash card / External Media possible with WFT-E3 CF Type I/II Design rule for Camera File system (JPEG) and/or RAW.
