Exposure Accuracy

Camera: EOS 5D

Lens: EF 16–35mm f/2.8L USM

35-zone Evaluative Metering

Analyzes light, based on an emphasis of the AF

point in use, metering off the subject, wherever it

might be in the composition.

Partial Metering

Meters 9% of the viewfinder at the center area.

Spot Metering

Reads approximately 3.5% at the center of the

viewfinder area.

Center-Weighted Metering

Reads the entire composition, yet places emphasis

on the center of the image.

WEDDING PHOTOJOURNALISM

My first real experience with

the EOS 5D was during a

high-profile wedding. The quality

of the images, even at high ISO

like the one shown here, had me

awestruck. Having switched from

a completely different system, I

was pleased by how intuitive the

camera was to use. The EOS 5D

is a tool that I trust; it enables

me to create

my art as an

extension of

my hand, eye

and heart.

Fast, Precise AF Performance

Outstanding autofocus performance is a hallmark of

EOS SLR cameras, and the EOS 5D is a superb example.

Nine AF points make it easier to lock onto subjects, even

if they are not centered in the composition. There are

also six supplemental assist points around the center

AF point, which can significantly improve focus tracking

accuracy with moving subjects when using the AI Servo

AF mode. Fast, accurate, predictive focusing makes the

EOS 5D an excellent choice for moving subjects or any

unpredictable situations.

Superb Exposure Control

The EOS 5D offers the professional photographer a wide

range of advanced metering options. The Evaluative

Metering system uses data from the camera’s 35-zone

sensor as well as focusing point information. The

onboard microcomputer uses a sophisticated series of

calculations to ensure accurate exposure calculation in

even the most challenging lighting situations. The EOS

5D also provides several additional metering options,

including center-weighted, partial area, and spot meter-

ing. And regardless of the metering pattern in use, the

camera’s Quick Control Dial permits instant access to

exposure compensation—without ever removing an eye

from the viewfinder.
