Power to perform Performance redefined
Tv (Shutter Speed): 1/1250 Av (Aperture Value): f/5.0 ISO Speed: 4000 Lens: EF400mm f/2.8L IS II USM Focal length: 400.0mm Image quality from the EOS-1D X impresses whatever the conditions. High resolution and wide dynamic range are accompanied by accurate skin-tone reproduction and colour depth. And when light levels get low, the EOS-1D X keeps performing with high-ISO capabilities that have to be seen to be believed.
A high-resolution sensor captures the amazing detail, while broad dynamic range ensures texture is preserved in both dark shadows and bright highlights. A bespoke 18.1-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers superb image quality in picture files measuring 5208 x 3477 pixels – enough for a 51MB TIFF file. Colours are reproduced accurately and smooth tonal gradation ensures that even the most subtle details are recorded faithfully.
Redefining image quality Full-frame photography The 24x36mm sensor inside the EOS-1D X is exactly the same size as 35mm film, meaning wide-angle lenses can be used to their true potential, producing a wide field of view and enabling photographers to exploit shallow depth of field from fast-aperture lenses, for visual emphasis.
Microlenses Seeing in the dark Showing extraordinary versatility, the EOS-1D X has an ISO sensitivity range that covers ten stops, from ISO 100 to ISO 51,200. Expansion settings take this further, up to ISO 102,400 and ISO 204,800 – ideal for specialist applications in surveillance or documentary photography. The ISO range is also expandable down to ISO 50 for those bright days or when you want to slow your shutter speed down.
The EOS-1D X is as capable in low-light conditions as it is in the midday sun. A next-generation sensor increases sensitivity while sophisticated image processing tackles digital noise. DIGIC 5+ technology At the heart of every current EOS is the DIGIC processor, which not only controls a camera’s main functions but also converts sensor data into viewable image files.
The figures speak for themselves: shooting up to 14 full-frame images every second at its maximum, 18.1-megapixel resolution, this is the fastest EOS camera yet. Secondary Mirror Balance Weight / Locking Mechanism Performance EOS photographers can enjoy both high image resolution and fast continuous shooting. The EOS-1D X captures full-frame 18.1-megapixel images in JPEG or RAW format at an astonishing 12 frames per second (fps), maintaining full auto-exposure and autofocus capabilities.
Silent shooting Built-in multiple exposure Sometimes speed isn’t everything, and a more subtle approach is required. For these occasions the EOS-1D X offers a silent shooting mode. Noise from the camera’s mechanism is reduced and separated into two stages: the reflex mirror only returns to its initial position, and the shutter is only re-cocked, when pressure on the shutter-release button is released, so you can choose the most appropriate time.

The EOS-1D X uses a sophisticated 61-point High Density Reticular Autofocus system that is versatile enough to satisfy the demands of every type professional photographer, from those shooting sports and photojournalism to portrait and wedding photographers. Single point 4-point expansion Adjustable servo AF No two moving objects behave in the same way, which is why the EOS-1D X has an AI Servo focusing mode that can be customised according to the conditions.
Every time you compose a photograph with the EOS-1D X, the camera’s sensors analyse the scene too. A 100,000-pixel RGB Metering Sensor is divided up into 252 metering zones for high precision measurement of the scene. Colour and brightness information is mixed with data from the autofocus system. The result? Perfect ambient light or flash exposures every time. Exposure control For more control in specific lighting conditions, centreweighted, partial and spot metering options are available.
Shooting and exposure modes Custom exposure modes The EOS-1D X features electronically timed shutter speeds from 1/8000 – 30sec, with flash synchronisation up to 1/250sec. Program, aperture priority (Av), shutter priority (Tv) and manual exposure modes are available, alongside a bulb (B) setting for long exposures.
Shoot Full HD video on the same camera you use for your still photography, using Canon EF lenses and manual control to make your footage stand out from the crowd. Professional high-definition video capture Capture high-quality video at 1080p resolution and enjoy complete creative control when shooting. The EOS-1D X features new levels of functionality following feedback from professional cinematographers. Image quality is improved with new anti-moiré processing and industry-standard compression algorithms.
Flexible creative control Crystal clear digital audio The same Canon EF lenses you use for still photography also provide opportunities for highly creative video shooting. Work with large apertures for shallow-focus effects, or use speciality optics, such as macro or perspective-control lenses, for special optical effects. Capture digital sound at 48KHz using the camera’s built-in microphone, or with an external unit via a standard 3.5mm mic jack.
The EOS-1D X is designed to feel like a part of you – like an extension of your eye. It is a creative tool that has evolved over 10 generations of Canon professional cameras. The product of a continuous design process that incorporates feedback from professional photographers just like you. What does ergonomic mean to you? Easy-to-use controls The position, shape and feel of every control on the EOS-1D X has been revisited to ensure quick and easy operation.

Locations provided with dustproof and drip-proof measure Designed to perform. Built to last. Dual card slots, which support the latest UDMA 7 high-speed memory card standard, provide space for a second CF memory card, enabling RAW and JPEG files to be stored on separate media. EOS integrated cleaning system Versatile power source Conventional sensor-cleaning technology shakes off dust and dirt by vibrating the protective filter that sits in front of the camera’s sensor.
From war zone to touchline, the EOS-1D X delivers reliable performance time after time.Comprehensive weather sealing protects against dust and moisture, while a magnesium-alloy chassis provides strength without adding weight. The camera’s focal plane shutter is tested to 400,000 activations. Dual card slots provide space for a second CF memory card, enabling RAW and JPEG files to be stored on separate media.
Connectivity and camera control Extend the functionality of the EOS-1D X and discover new creative avenues, with multiple options for tethered shooting and remote camera control. As well as storing images on Compact Flash memory cards, the EOS-1D X can write files directly to a PC or Mac using a tethered connection, or wirelessly with an optional WFT-E6 WiFi transmitter.
WiFi and GPS adaptors Wireless control over a Canon EOS-1D X is possible using the WFT-E6 wireless adapter. Enjoy wireless shooting directly to a PC or Mac on a wireless network, or operate the camera remotely using EOS Utility or the WFT server function. Geotagging of images – where location and altitude data is embedded into the metadata of each image file – is possible using a GPS receiver.
Flash photography From the moment a Speedlite flashgun is mounted on the Canon EOS-1D X the camera’s E-TTL flash metering technology begins to take the hard work out of flash photography. Information regarding the size of the camera’s sensor and the lens in use is communicated to the Speedlite and the correct zoom position is set. E-TTL II metering also communicates white balance, colour information, exposure mode and aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings to the Speedlite.
Off-camera wireless flash Free your flashgun from the camera and discover a whole new world of creative lighting options. The EOS-1D X can fire multiple Speedlites placed up to 30m away from the camera, with no direct line of sight required when using radio transmission. Simply place a trigger, such as the ST-E3-RT, in the camera’s hotshoe and the sophisticated E-TTL II metering takes care of flash-exposure issues automatically.
