1. FEATURES
1.1 High-Performance, High-Precision Area AF
The world's fastest continuous shooting speed of 9 fps in predictive AI Servo AF
mode.
8 × 15mm Area AF for easy subject capture.
Improved AF performance.
Focusing point registration and shifting and limiting the selectable focusing
points to 11 or 9 result in faster focusing point selection.
Active, superimposed focusing points are brighter by over 2 stops.
1.2 High-Speed, Quiet Film Transport
AF SLR camera boasting the world's fastest continuous shooting speed at approx.
10 fps (in the One Shot AF mode w/PB-E2 and NP-E2).
Built-in motor drive enables approx. 3.5 fps continuous shooting.
Film transport noise level is on par with the EOS-1N's.
1.3 High Reliability
Moving parts are thoroughly sealed for excellent water and dust resistance.
• Grip's new battery chamber cover is lined with packing.
• The Remote control/Data transfer terminal cap is fixed on the camera to pre-
vent loss and it protects the terminal against water.
• New lens mount coupling surface which matches the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
and later lenses equipped with an O-ring for enhanced water and dust resis-
tance.
Rigid magnesium alloy top and front covers with highly durable metallic finish.
Shutter durability of 150,000 cycles.
The grip mount and electrical contacts (system connector) are bipolar to enhance
reliability.
Ambient temperature range for normal operation is -20°C to +45°C with 95%
maximum humidity. (Film ID imprinting is assured down to -10°C.)
1.4 Excellent Basic Features
The algorithm for 21-zone evaluative metering and E-TTL autoflash metering has
been improved for better metering stability.
Ultra-high speed, high-precision shutter for 30 sec. - 1/8000 sec. and X-sync at
1/250 sec.
100% viewfinder coverage, dioptric correction, and built-in eyepiece shutter.
Laser Matte focusing screen with Area AF ellipse.
Short viewfinder blackout time of 87 ms (approx. 38% shorter than the EOS-1N's
140 ms and 17% shorter than the EOS-3's 105 ms). Insures stable viewfinder
image during continuous shooting.
Shutter release time lag is short and fixed at 55 ms for all lenses set at the maxi-
mum aperture or up to three stops smaller. See 3. Specifications, item 5-4.
Infrared film can be used.
Film ID imprinting enabled for easier identification and organization of film rolls.
