Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise
and micron-precision engineering to deliver
unprecedented performance in all facets of the
photographic process. Aspherical, Ultra-low
Dispersion, or Fluorite elements for
example, are featured in the univer-
sally acclaimed L Series lenses, and
Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer tech-
nology in select lenses minimizes
the effect of camera shake. The
EOS 40D deserves nothing
less than Canon Optics.

The Genius of the EOS System
Lens-Based Image
Stabilization for
Better Results
To combat image blur,
Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology
uses motion sensors and a high-speed micro-
computer built directly into the lens. The sensors
analyze vibrations and apply correction via a
special stabilizing lens group that shifts the

image parallel to the focal plane. The effects can
be seen immediately in the camera's viewfinder.
The subject remains in sharp focus, camera
shake is minimized or disappears completely,
and sharp pictures are the result. Unlike other
camera companies who have chosen to incor-
porate image stabilization into the camera body,
Canon builds this technology directly into Image
Stabilization lenses so the system is custom
tailored to the optics and focal length of the
particular lens. This optimization renders a far

across the board.

an integrated camera grip with controls for
automatically compensating for the camera's
vertical shooting. The WFT-E3A is speedy, with
sensor size, enabling higher output flash, with
802.11b/g wireless compatibility and offers
more flashes per charge. The 580EX II has an

It also offers a newly enhanced
graphic user interface, simplifying
the configuration of both wired

More Choices for Photo Composition
The first in its class to offer interchangeable
focusing screens, the EOS 40D can accept
focusing screen Ef-D, which adds grid lines as
well as focusing screen Ef-S that has a super-
precision matte surface perfect for critical focus
