With 6 million pixels on a high density area CCD, this is a top-notch SLR type single-shot digital camera. 340 megabytes of hard disk card allows 53 high-quality images to be stored. The camera is well suited for catalog and pamphlet work which requires high image quality. It is also ideal for press photographers working for newspapers or magazines because of time and cost saving. The camera is compatible with more than 40 EF lenses and has the same high precision, reliability, and incomparable durability of the EOS-1N.
| Type | Focal-plane shutter multi-mode single-shot AF SLR digital camera with 36-bit color (RGB each 12 bits). Imaging element size: 18.4 mm (H) x 27.6 mm (W). 6 megapixel CCD (3,060 horizontal x 2,036 vertical pixels). Maximum continuous shooting at 0.6 fps in 2-frame bursts, then followed by 1 frame per 8 sec (shutter speed at 1/250 sec. or faster). |
| Compatible Lenses | Canon EF lenses (focal length increases by approx. 1.3x) |
| Lens Mount | EF mount |
| AF System | TTL phase detection. AF modes: One-Shot AF and predictive AI Servo AF. Cross-type BASIS for the AF sensor. Five focusing points selectable automatically or manually. AF operating range: EV 0.3-18.3 (at ISO 80). |
| Shutter | Vertical-travel, metal focal-plane electronic shutter. 30 sec.-1/8000 sec., B. X-sync at 1/250 sec. (German-lock socket and hot shoe). Shutter speed can be set in 1/3-, 1/2-, or whole-stop increments. Built-in electronic self-timer (with countdown indicator on LCD panel). |
| Viewfinder | Fixed eye-level pentaprism. 0.72x magnification and virtually 100% coverage. New Laser Matte screen is standard. Eight interchangeable focusing screens. Built-in dioptric adjustment from -3 to +1 diopters. 20mm eye relief. |

Five focusing points at center, fine spot metering circle, image area frame, shutter speed and aperture (in 1/2- or 1/3-stop increments depending on Custom Function setting), AE lock, manual,flash ready, exposure compensation, exposure level scale, exposure level display (dots and bars),in-focus indicator, and other indications. |
| Metering and Exposure Control |
Composite SPC for TTL full-aperture metering (16-zone evaluative metering, 15.3% partial metering at center, 3.9% fine spot metering at center, 6% spot metering at focusing point, and center-weighted averaging) with shutter speed-priority AE, aperture-priority AE, depth-of-field AE, intelligent program AE, and metered manual. AE lock is automatic when focus is achieved in One-Shot AF and evaluative metering mode. Manual AE lock enabled with AE lock button in all metering modes. Exposure compensation:±3EV (in 1/3-stop increments). Metering range (ISO 80, 50mm f/1.4): evaluative or partial metering: EV 0.3-20.3, fine spot metering: EV 3.3-20.3. Imaging element sensitivity: Equivalent to ISO 50-100 (color model) or ISO 200 (B & W model). |
