T
he durability of
the Canon EOS-
1D Mark IV is as
tough and rugged as
its predecessor, the
Mark III.
The Mark IV
withstands
the harsh
conditions
encountered by
photojournalists
dust and rain and the
cold. Bang it around
and it keeps on shoot-
ing. When you’re way
out on the edge, with
no second chance,
you want to be using
a camera you can
rely on.”

Amazing Magnesium-alloy Body
Built to endure the worst possible environments, the
EOS-1D Mark IV has a lightweight and incredibly strong
magnesium-alloy construction. Built to go wherever the
photographer dares, it’s ready for anything. It features
durable, baked-on paint with a grippy surface that keeps
the camera in hand, ready to shoot.
Shutter Durability
The EOS-1D Mark IV’s shutter unit
has a durability of 300,000 shutter
cycles. And the rest of the camera
is built to last — the mechanical
parts, electronics, optics and
operation controls are constructed to the highest stan-
dards to perform brilliantly, whether it’s the camera’s
30th or 300,000th shot.
Numerous Weather Seals to Ensure Dust and
Water Resistance.
All the EOS-1D Mark IV’s controls, buttons and external
covers are dust- and water-resistant, ensuring uninter-
rupted operation whether shooting in the rain, in a
windstorm or anything in between. When the EOS-1D
Mark IV is used with a dust- and water-resistant EF lens or
external Speedlite, the entire camera system is nearly
impervious to the elements.
Integrated Cleaning System
Dust is managed with the advanced
Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning
System. To combat stray dust that can enter the camera
when changing a lens, the Canon Self Cleaning Sensor’s
low pass filter cleans itself automatically with ultrasonic
vibrations every time the camera is turned on or off.
Removed dust adheres to material beneath the filter to
ensure it stays off. Dust missed by the cleaning unit is
captured by the Canon Dust Delete Data Detection soft-
ware and can be removed from the image file. By ensuring
the sensor is free of dust and debris, the camera
guarantees a cleaner image.
