EOS Digital for Professionals Brochure

Live View Function
The EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1D
Mark III, and EOS 40D all offer
Live View Function, which enables
the image at the sensor to be dis-
played on a computer monitor in
real time. With Canon EOS Utility
software installed on the computer,
the user can check and adjust focus
and composition on the computer.
The camera can even be fired
remotely from the computer.
Connection between the camera
and computer can be via USB
cable or, with the optional Wireless
File Transmitter WFT-E2A or WFT-E3A, via wireless LAN. The
wireless option enables all Live View capabilities over a
distance up to 492 feet (150m).*
Live View Function is a powerful problem-solver that
addresses all those situations in which it would be awkward,
difficult, or impossible to shoot conventionally by looking
through the viewfinder. Requested by numerous studio and
remote sports photographers, the Canon Remote Live View
Function enables EVF (electronic viewfinder) shooting via a
wired or wirelessly connected computer. While viewing the
real-time output from the camera’s imaging sensor on a
computer monitor, the photographer can perform numerous
functions—such as check and adjust the focus using 5x and
10x magnification; check for moiré and false color; and verify
composition, lighting, and exposure—before remotely
releasing the shutter via the computer.
New Original Data Security Kit OSK-E3
Canon’s advanced data
verification hardware/
software kit consists of
a USB card reader/
writer, a dedicated
Original Data Security
Card, and software to
be installed on a
Windows computer. The system can verify the originality
and integrity of image data. It can also identify specific
data elements (image pixels, EXIF text, GPS info, etc.) that
have been altered.
A new feature in this version is encryption capability.**
Photographers can now encrypt their image files to prevent
unauthorized viewing or wireless theft. Encrypted images
can be viewed only on personal computers on which the
necessary OSK-E3 decoding engine has been installed.
Dust Delete Function
By photographing a plain nearby
white subject at infinity focus, the
photographer can acquire data
identifying the position of any dust
particles on the sensor surface. The data are appended to
the image file and can be used by Digital Photo Professional
software to automatically erase dust spots. This unique
system can be a tremendous time saver, especially for
professional photographers who must shoot (and change
lenses) in dusty environments. It greatly reduces time spent
at the computer touching up images.

Digital Photo Professional
Canon Digital Photo Professional is a RAW image processing
application featuring a newly designed, dedicated data

sional digital photographers by enabling high-speed RAW
