T
his is a great cam-
era for outdoor and
nature photographers!
Its lightweight but
sturdy body is easy to
handle
and per-
fect for
field work.
The 21.1
Megapixel Full-Frame
CMOS Sensor captures
every detail of the
landscape. The large,
high-resolution LCD
monitor with Live
View is a real benefit
for previewing images
in the field. I’m espe-
cially excited about
the high-definition
video capabilities, a
feature that makes
this camera one of the
most innovative and
versatile creative tools
I’ve seen yet.”

Spectacular High-Resolution Capture
The EOS 5D Mark II incorporates a 21.1
Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Sensor that
delivers still and video images of excep-
tional low noise and are unsurpassed in clarity, detail
and color purity. The full-frame sensor enables you to use
the entire range of Canon EF lenses with no need for conver-
sion factors. For enhanced tonal reproduction, the EOS 5D
Mark II incorporates Highlight Tone Priority, making gra-
dations smoother and minimizing loss of highlight detail.
The EOS 5D Mark II also features Lens Peripheral
Illumination Correction, which automatically corrects for
light fall-off at the corners. Using a database of EF lenses,
this corrective system works automatically at the time of
capture when shooting JPEGs. With RAW images, the same
correction can be performed using Canon DPP software.
Another image enhancement features the Auto Lighting
Optimizer; it automatically adjusts brightness and contrast
during image processing.
Rugged Dependability
The EOS 5D Mark II body is
made of lightweight magne-
sium alloy, making it easy to handle and transport without
sacrificing strength and durability. The body is also highly
weather resistant thanks to the extensive use of seals
and gaskets to keep out moisture and dust. The weather-
resistant design is complemented by the Canon Self
Cleaning Sensor Unit. Part of the EOS Integrated Cleaning
System, it removes dust on the imaging sensor using
ultrasonic vibration.
Big, Bright, Clear View LCD Monitor
A 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots/VGA) monitor
provides a large, bright, highly detailed display. The
increased resolution makes it possible to view images
with far greater detail and enhances the Live View
Function capabilities.
HDMI Output
The camera provides an HDMI output for full-resolution
digital transfer of Full HD video to monitors, Canon
REALiS projectors and post-production equipment.
Advanced Flash Photography
The EOS 5D Mark II is fully compatible with the Canon
Speedlite flash system. There are versatile solutions for
macro photography such as the Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX,
which features twin circular flash tubes that can be fired
at equal or uneven power at ratios that can be varied
over a six-stop range. The Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX pro-
vides a different, directional option for close-up, nature
and macro photography. With either macro flash unit,
one or more compatible EX-series Speedlites can be
used as wireless Slaves for creative lighting solutions.
Canon E-TTL II flash exposure control uses the camera’s
Evaluative metering sensor — the same sensor that reads
ambient light. This sophisticated system compares light
values and accurately calculates the flash output required
for optimum illumination of the main subject and back-
ground. It ensures balanced, natural lighting, for example,
when using fill flash.
