Canon CMOS Sensors
Canon designs and manufactures its
own CMOS sensors, refining and
improving their performance with
each successive generation to meet the demands
and needs of photographers. With resolutions of up
to 50.6 Megapixels on the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R
cameras, today’s Canon CMOS sensors can capture
images of up to 8712 x 5813 effective pixels,
delivering a level of detail suitable for fine art
printing, significant cropping and numerous other
critical applications. Movie recording is just as
impressive, with select cameras featuring 4K video
recording capabilities at up to 60p. On-chip noise
reduction, combined with improvements in
microlens technology, helps result in clean, robust
images with impressive dynamic range, even at
higher ISOs. Canon’s CMOS sensors complement
The history of the Canon EOS System brims with examples of technological innovations that
set new industry standards for performance and usability. But for Canon, technology is never
an end in itself. Every new technology must yield tangible benefits to the user. Does a new
feature enable a faster, more responsive and enjoyable user experience? Does a new material
or process improve the camera’s long-term reliability? Canon EOS cameras are designed with
these questions in mind to enhance operation for every person that picks one up, with
innovative technologies that help elevate the quality of the images they create.
their high-resolution capabilities with remarkable
speed. Multi-channel signal paths and 14-bit A/D
converters help process larger image files quickly,
maintaining the camera’s overall responsiveness.
Whether constructed in full-frame 35mm or APS-C
dimensions, select Canon CMOS sensors feature
Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS technology with built-in
phase-detection AF points for incredibly fast and
accurate Live View AF.
DiGIC Image Processors
At the heart of every EOS camera,
Image
Processors expedite and enhance operations
across the board. Whether shooting stills or Full HD
Video, action or portraits,
Image Processors
use advanced signal processing technologies to
help enrich image quality and deliver a more
intuitive, responsive camera. Features such as Face
Detection AF and subject tracking, Live View
composing, Full HD video recording and in-camera
RAW file processing are all
made possible thanks to
Image Processors.
Simply put, they deliver
speedy, powerful
performance throughout
the image recording process
and enable EOS cameras to
do more, faster.
EF Lenses
Renowned among camera enthusiasts and
professionals alike, Canon’s incredible collection of
EF lenses complement EOS cameras with the optics,
ergonomics and performance necessary to create
images and HD video that challenge the boundaries
of your imagination. With a huge variety of lenses
designed to meet your creative needs at every level,
EF lenses are recognized around the world for their
uncompromising excellence and technological
innovation. Incorporating the feedback of
professional image makers, EF lenses consistently
lead the way with specialized lens coatings,
optimized optical designs, image stabilization
technology and the resolving power to meet the
ever-increasing resolution demands of the latest
digital sensors and cameras. With more than 95
different lenses, including specialty models designed
for architecture, close-up photography, professional
sports and much more, EF lenses exponentially
expand the capabilities of the EOS system.
AF Prowess
Whether using the viewfinder, the LCD monitor or
even when working on a computer or smartphone,
Canon’s EOS cameras and EF lenses are primed to
achieve tack sharp focus with remarkable speed
and ease. No matter how you work, no matter the
subject, EOS cameras have the AF technology to
help achieve better results in more situations.
For photographs composed through the viewfinder,
the EOS System features advanced autofocus
technology with multi-point AF systems that
deliver a breathtaking combination of accuracy and
speed. High Density Reticular AF and Cross-type
AF systems provide a wide coverage area for
excellent AF and subject tracking across the image
plane, are remarkably sensitive in low-light
situations and are designed to deliver consistent
results, even in adverse conditions such as freezing
temperatures and humid environments. Cameras
like the EOS-1D X Mark II and the EOS 5D Mark IV
even feature RGB+IR metering sensors and
processors that help improve color and shape
recognition for more accurate AF and exposure
control. Focus can be maintained through
sophisticated tracking systems like AI Servo AF III+,
found in the EOS 1D X Mark II and the EOS 5D Mark
IV cameras, which incorporates a Scene Analysis
function that improves tracking performance when
the subject’s movements are unpredictable or when
it crosses paths with a similar object.
Canon’s versatile Live View technology expands the
options and capabilities of EOS cameras, enabling
composition, control of camera settings and
shutter release, plus sophisticated AF systems
excellent for still and video capture, all on screen.
Canon’s high-speed Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides
lightning fast and accurate AF across the image
plane by using every pixel for both AF detection
and image capture. Other AF systems include
Hybrid CMOS AF, which combines phase and
contrast detection AF and is aided by pixels on the
CMOS sensor that assist in predicting subject
location. With Live View, the photographer can even
zoom in and navigate the composition to fine-tune
focus, and can direct the camera to detect faces
with Face Priority AF.
Video Capture
With the introduction of the EOS 5D
Mark II camera in 2008, Canon
enhanced its reputation as a leader in
technological innovation, incorporating
video capture into SLR photography
and changing moviemaking forever. This paved the
way for a whole new class of cameras – the Cinema
EOS series, which has won Canon accolades and
awards from cinema industry professionals. Today,
Canon continues to innovate across the EOS line,
with features such as Dual Pixel CMOS AF and 4K
recording helping to create cinema-like video from
a lightweight, portable camera. EOS cameras
feature up to 4096 x 2160 DCI cinema-standard and
1920 x 1080 Full HD video capture, offering the
enhanced image quality, smooth frame rates and
adaptive exposure compensation necessary in
professional movie-making tools. By shooting video
with an EOS camera, it’s simple to take advantage
of the image quality and characteristics intrinsic to
large-sensor cameras, resulting in richer, more
detailed and more diverse images. The large
sensors found in EOS cameras mean more high-
quality pixels plus the potential to shoot at higher
ISO sensitivities with minimal loss of detail.
Wireless Technologies
To help photographers to meet the daily,
instant demands of an always-on media
landscape, to enable and simplify
remote capture possibilities through
smartphones and to facilitate the
sharing of photos and videos instantly
and wirelessly, EOS cameras are well
