PHOTOJOURNALISM

One of my greatest chal-

lenges is to capture fresh,

new images of events that have

been photographed hundreds of

times before, so I’m always on

the lookout for new technology

that might give me an edge. The

EOS-1D Mark III’s Live View Func-

tion has the potential to revolu-

tionize remote photography,

allowing me to mount cameras

in locations

I could

only have

dreamed of

in the past.

Redesigned Viewfinder with 100% Coverage

The EOS-1D Mark III viewfinder incorporates an entirely

new optical system developed by Canon. It employs a

larger pentaprism for higher viewfinder magnification

and a brighter, sharper viewfinder image. The new design

continues to provide full 100% coverage, which means

what you see is what you get—no more, no less. The

finder also features a high eyepoint design for easier

viewing of the entire image and information area. Dioptric

adjustment from -3 to +1 is included, as is an eyepiece

shutter with high-visibility gray blades.

Large 3.0-inch LCD Monitor

with Live View Function

The EOS-1D Mark III’s LCD moni-

tor is a full 3.0 inches diagonally,

unsurpassed by any competitive

digital SLR.* The bigger image area makes it easier than ever

to confirm capture, check memory card contents, confirm

shooting parameters, and access all menu options.

Moreover, the EOS-1D Mark III features a sophisticated Live

View Function, which makes the 3.0-inch LCD monitor a real-

time finder. When the Live View Function is enabled, the

reflex mirror is locked up and the shutter opened. The image

output from the CMOS sensor will be displayed in real time

on the LCD monitor at 100% coverage. A selectable portion

of the image can be magnified by 5x or 10x to aid in precise

manual focusing. Focus, exposure check, composing, and

shooting can all be accomplished in this mode.

Live View Function

Live View Function is convenient for tripod-mounted shoot-

ing, macro work, and other situations in which it is a

physical strain to keep the eye at the viewfinder. The

Live View Function image can also be displayed on a TV

monitor which is ideal for showing images, as they are

composed, to clients and portrait subjects as well as view-

ing on a computer monitor. With Canon EOS Utility software

installed on the computer, you can check and adjust focus

and composition in real time. You can even manually focus

and fire the camera remotely from the computer. Wireless

remote capture is available by using the WFT-E2A.

Unparalleled Exposure Control

Canon EOS SLR cameras offer the

photographer AE (auto exposure)

with the widest range of metering

options. Full-frame evaluative metering

combines the EOS 63-zone sensor with

focusing point data. Center-weighted

metering is available for those who

prefer a more traditional pattern. Partial metering limits

readings to sensor zones in the center of the image area,

concentrating readings in the central 13.5% of the picture

area. Spot metering provides pinpoint readings and is

suitable for advanced exposure control in tricky lighting

conditions. And there’s Multi-Spot Metering, making it

possible to take up to eight separate Spot readings, and

have the camera automatically average them.
