he future of cine-

ma has arrived

with the EOS-1D

Mark IV. With its

large sensor and 24p

capability,

this cam-

era is as

good as

any pro

video capture camera

on the market. It’s a

small size, has no

cables and is able to

take an adapter for

pro lenses. I love it and

will use it on any job I

have for TV or cinema.”

Frame Rates

In response to the varied applications

of the commercial video market, the

EOS-1D Mark IV shoots not only at a number of different

resolutions, including Full HD, it also shoots at a variety

of frame rates to suit most any application. In Full HD, at

a resolution of 1920 x 1080, the EOS-1D Mark IV can

shoot at 30 frames per second (actually 29.97 fps), the

trad itional speed for video produced for viewing online or

to be viewed or broadcast on television. 29.97 fps is the

same exact frame speed as television in North America.

At 24 (23.976) fps, the EOS-1D Mark IV shoots at the

same frame rate as a typical film camera, and creates

what some consider a more “film-like” look, rendering

video perfectly suited to be interspersed with digitized

film in the editing room. Finally, the EOS-1D Mark IV

shoots at 25 fps, the standard for PAL, perfect for video

produced in international markets. When shooting in HD

(1280 x 720) or VGA (640 x 480), the EOS-1D Mark IV can

shoot at up to 60 (59.94) fps, perfect for action, sports

or reality broadcasting, not only allowing for smooth

rendition of movement but also for grabbing still images

after the shoot.

APS-H Sensor

With the EOS-1D Mark IV, and its sensor

resolution of 16.1 Megapixels, there’s no question that

video and stills can be captured in extensive detail. But

the EOS-1D Mark IV’s APS-H sized sensor offers distinct

advantages. The EOS-1D Mark IV’s sensor, at 27.9 mm x

18.6 mm (similar in size to super 35mm motion picture

film), captures a large number of pixels for greater detail,

lower signal-to-noise ratio and better light sensitivity. The

difference between imagery captured on a small sensor

camera and video captured on a large, Canon CMOS

sensor is evident at first sight.

Image Quality

With the combination of its large sensor, its sophisticated

shooting capabilities and its compatibility with optics

unavailable for dedicated video cameras, the EOS-1D Mark IV

is a compelling hybrid system, offering uncompromised

performance for both still and moving image-makers.
