EOS-1D Mark IV Features & Highlights
New 45-point Area AF sensor including 39 cross-type AF points
The EOS-1D Mark IV has a newly developed, high-precision Area AF
sensor with 45 manually selectable points including 39
cross-type, high-precision AF points for exacting and fast
focusing no matter the subject. New AI Servo II AF focus tracking
features improved algorithms that help improve stability,
reliability and focus no matter the situation. Whether shooting a
fast paced soccer game or shooting a close-up of a bee on a
wind-blown flower during macro photography, AI Servo II AF helps
ensure sharp focus every time. AF point selection has been
improved as well.
Photographers can select their own point through either the
camera's Multi-controller or Main Dial/Quick Control Dial.
Automatic selection is as simple as the press of a button. With
Custom functions, photographers can select their own default
focus point to automatically switch between horizontal and
vertical shooting and can even choose to have primary focus
supported by adjacent focus points for more accuracy with moving
subjects.
ISO 100-12,800 (expandable to L: 50, H1: 25600, H2: 51200, H3:
102400) for shooting from bright to dim light
The EOS-1D Mark IV features a standard ISO range from 100-12,800
with an expanded range of 50 to 102400! The combined noise
reduction capabilities of the Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors and
Canon CMOS sensor help ensure that even at an ISO setting of
102400, noise is kept to a minimum. This greatly expanded
capability provides an increased range of real-world shooting
options, especially in available-light or dim situations. A low
ISO speed can be useful, for example, when shooting high contrast
scenes with fast (e.g., f/1.4) lenses.
Blown highlights, such as the shading of a bride's dress, can be
avoided and photographers can use wider apertures to control
depth-of-field in ways not possible at higher ISO settings.
Additionally, the EOS-1D Mark IV features the Auto Lighting
Optimizer (ALO), which automatically adjusts the brightness and
contrast during image processing to minimize the need for
expensive, and time consuming post-production processing. Auto
Lighting Optimizer is available in most shooting modes, including
Manual mode and can be applied to RAW images using the included
Canon Digital Photo Professional software.
EOS HD movie with manual exposure control and multiple frame
rates
The EOS-1D Mark IV captures video with all the benefits of
shooting with an EOS digital SLR. The HD area on the
EOS-1D Mark IV is approx. 27.9mm x 15.7mm, similar when compared
to the 24.89 x 18.65mm area of Super 35 motion picture
film. By shooting video with a large sensor camera, photographers
as well as videographers can take advantage of the creative
features native to SLR photography. Along with its manual
controls, the EOS-1D Mark IV allows for full use of Canon EF
lenses, including wide angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift
lenses and fish-eye, providing a wealth of depth-of-field and
other creative shooting options once reserved only for still
photography. The resulting HD video is a standout in its stunning
depth-of-field characteristics, remarkable capture capability
under poor lighting conditions with its vast ISO range, and deep
clean blacks with nearly undetectable noise.
When shooting HD video in AE modes, the EOS-1D Mark IV employs
Center-Weighted average metering to help ensure stable
motion-picture exposure with the camera automatically selecting
the ISO speed, shutter and aperture. Full manual exposure control
is also available while shooting video when the camera is set to
Manual mode.
Video can be captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at frame rates
of 24 (23.976), 25 or 30 (29.97) frames per second, for up to 4GB
per clip. Movies are saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full
HD with HDMI output. Other sizes include HD at 1280 x
720 (50/60 (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 (59.94)
fps). The EOS-1D Mark IV has a built-in microphone for simple
mono and stereo sound can be recorded through a
self-powered external microphone.
16.1-megapixel APS-H CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 imaging
processors
The EOS-1D Mark IV features a high-resolution APS-H sized
16.1-megapixel CMOS sensor (with a focal length multiplier effect
of 1.3x) and Dual DIGIC 4 image processors that can process
images at full resolution continuously up to 10
frames-per-second. The combination of the CMOS sensor and Dual
DIGIC 4 image processors help to ensure smooth, detailed and
refined images that are recorded quickly, accurately and
reliably. This impressive combination of speed, quality and
performance will make the EOS-1D Mark IV a ste among many
professional photographers, including sports photographers, and a
familiar on the sidelines of professional sporting events.
10.0 fps continuous shooting up to 121 Large/JPEGS or 28 RAW
using a UDMA CF card
The EOS-1D Mark IV's rugged, high speed shutter can shoot up to
10.0 frames per second (fps) for up to 28 consecutive RAW files
or 121 full-resolution JPEGs when used in conjunction with UDMA
(Ultra Direct Memory Access) Mode 6 CF cards. The EOS-1D Mark
IV's spectacular new 45-point high speed AF sensor locks on and
maintains focus, ensuring that the camera keeps up with its
amazing shutter. Capture up to 121 s at 10 frames per second
3.0-inch Clear View II LCD monitor with 160-degree viewing angle
The EOS-1D Mark IV features the finest Canon LCD screen to date
(October 2009): the new, high resolution, 3.0-inch Clear View II
VGA LCD has 920,000 dot resolution and provides a new level of
clarity and sharpness with a 160 degree angle of view. Its
performance is admirable, not only in confirming focus and
composition, but in composing and shooting in Live View mode, or
when shooting video. It features a tempered glass protective
cover with an anti-reflective film and a new resin filling
between the actual LCD and glass cover that helps minimize
internal reflections and further improves visibility in bright
viewing situations. During image playback, pressing the
illumination button displays an LCD brightness screen, so
brightness can be adjusted quickly and easily.
Magnesium alloy body with shutter durability up to 300,000
cycles
A lightweight and incredibly strong magnesium alloy construction
helps the EOS-1D Mark IV to endure almost any condition, and the
EOS-1D Mark IV features a shutter designed to shoot 300,000
cycles. All the EOS-1D Mark IV's controls, buttons and external
covers are dust- and water-resistant, ensuring uninterrupted
operation whether shooting in the rain, in a windstorm and
everything in between.
Dust is managed with the advanced Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning
System, which helps to suppress dust generation, removes existing
dust and uses the combination of Dust Delete Data and DPP
software to eliminate any remaining dust spots on your images.
When the EOS-1D Mark IV is used with a dust- and water-resistant
EF lens or external Speedlite, the entire camera system is nearly
impervious to the elements.
Fully compatible with over 50 optional EF lenses and a wide
range of optional EOS System accessories
EF Lenses
The EOS-1D Mark IV is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF
lineup (excluding EF-S lenses), ranging from ultra-wide angle to
super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical
expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding
performance in nearly all facets of the photographic process.
Special optical technologies, such as aspherical optics and
fluorite elements are featured in the widely accled L-Series
lenses, and Canon Image Stabilizer technology in select lenses
helps to minimize the effect of camera shake. Through Canon
lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and
liberating performance of the 1D Mark IV.
Flash Photography
The EOS-1D Mark IV features the accled E-TTL II flash
metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite
line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting
fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total
darkness. The camera's new 63-zone Evaluative Metering Sensor is
also used for flash metering with an improved flash metering
algorithm which reduces the chances of overexposure with
wide-angle s in which the main subject occupies a small area.
If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, Custom Function
II-4-1 allows shifting flash metering so that all 63 zones of the
sensor are used equally to calculate flash exposures.
The Speedlite 580EX II is perfectly suited to the EOS-1D Mark
IV. It has improved reliability of communications through the
direct contacts, has a metal flash "foot," and is
dust-/water-resistant as with the 1D Mark IV. Other new features
include a PC socket on the flash unit, and an external metering
sensor for non-TTL autoflash if desired. With the EOS-1D Mark IV,
you can set most flash settings using the camera's menu. It has
the same power as the previous Speedlite 580EX (maximum guide
number of 190 ft./58m at ISO 100) and, when ed on the
camera, automatically compensates for the camera's sensor size,
enabling high output flash, with more flashes per charge. It
includes an AF-assist Beam, which works in conjunction with the
EOS-1D Mark IV's focusing system, and automatically sends color
temperature information to the camera when the flash fires, for
more accurate white balance rendition with flash photography.
