Shutter Release Mechanism - Canon EOS 30D White Paper

extend during focusing, suppressing aberration variations at medium and short distances
and achieving excellent imaging performance over the entire imaging area.
In sum, wedding, portrait and sports shooters (primarily), as well as fashion photographers
and anyone else with an interest in excellent and unique optics, will find the EF 85mm
f/1.2L II USM an alluring and sophisticated tool. It is expected to retail for $2,099.

Although the shutter release mechanism is the same as the EOS 20D's, the EOS 30D's
Shutter Release
shutter button now allows the user to press it completely to take a picture, return it to
Mechanism
the halfway position and then press it again to take another picture. This change responds
to requests by EOS 10D and 20D users and works the same way as with EOS-1 Series
cameras and the EOS 5D. The shutter release time lag from SW-1 ON is approximately
65 ms. (stop down within 3.5 stops of the maximum aperture) and the viewfinder
blackout time is approximately 110 ms. Both are equal to or shorter than times on
the EOS 20D.
