Datasheet

22.3-megapixel resolution
The EOS 5D Mark III produces
files measuring 5760x3840
pixels from its 22.3-megapixel
sensor. This equates to a 60MB
TIFF file – enough for fine-art
quality printing at sizes up to
A1 as well as extensive cropping
for alternative compositions
without loss of image quality.
Images are rich in detail, with
excellent sharpness straight
from the camera.
High in sensitivity,
low in noise
When light levels get low, the
EOS 5D Mark III keeps performing,
producing incredible images up
to a maximum native sensitivity
of ISO 25,600. This setting can be
expanded by a further two stops
to ISO 102,400 for specialist
applications in surveillance or
photojournalism – it’s just like
seeing in the dark.
High-ISO shooting gives you
the versatility to choose the
exposure settings you want,
regardless of the lighting
conditions. Retain depth of field
by maintaining small apertures,
or freeze action with high
shutter speeds.
Wide dynamic range
Extremes of light and dark can
be difficult to handle, but the
EOS 5D Mark III’s wide dynamic
range means that detail is
recorded in both shadow and
highlight areas for a more
natural result. The camera’s
Highlight Tone Priority function
ensures the lighter areas of the
scene are not overexposed,
while Canon’s Auto Lighting
Optimizer (ALO) looks after
shadow areas.
The EOS 5D Mark III also
sports high dynamic range
(HDR) shooting built in to the
body. Capture three frames
in succession at differing
exposures and the camera will
blend them together, offering a
choice of tone-mapping options
to ensure the result matches
your vision.
