EOS-1D was designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional news, sports and studio photographers. It delivers enhanced image quality and responsiveness through a newly developed large-size, high resolution CCD sensor, with an effective pixel area of 28.7 x 19.1mm and Canon’s proprietary high-speed digital signal-processing IC, which performs detailed image processing and makes possible natural color rendition.
EOS-1D, which achieves a shutter release lag time of just 0.55 seconds and a blackout time of 0.87 seconds for exceptional responsiveness, inherits the same outstanding levels of basic functionality and operability as Canon’s top-of-the-line conventional film SLR model EOS-1V. The technology ensures that professionals never miss a decisive shot, and that users can be assured of a consistently stable viewfinder image during continuous shooting.
The camera features a lightweight, heavy-duty magnesium alloy exterior, and thorough water- and dust-resistant sealing on all switches and body seams.
The EOS-1D has also cleared the stringent 150,000 shot operational durability trial, and ensures users of unfailing reliability under even the most grueling conditions.
The latest and most advanced addition to Canon’s range of professional digital SLRs, the EOS-1D inherits and expands on many of the innovative functions and applications possessed by the EOS-1V. These include the company’s proprietary 45-point area autofocus, which eliminates the need to position the subject at the center of the picture to facilitate instant shooting and dynamic image photography, a 21-Zone Evaluative metering sensor to ensure ideal exposure performance, an advanced full-frame viewfinder and Custom Function control, allowing users to tailor camera operations to their individual preferences.
