Item Description
Features:
Canon proudly presents the highly anticipated EOS 5D Mark III. With
supercharged EOS performance and stunning full frame, high-resolution image
capture, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform.
Special optical technologies like the 61-Point High Density Reticular AF and
an extended ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 50 (L), 51200 (H1) and 102400
(H2) make the EOS 5D Mark III ideal for shooting weddings in the studio or out
in the field, and great for still photography. Advanced professional-level high
definition video capabilities (that includes a host of industry-standard
recording protocols and enhanced performance) make it possible to capture
beautiful cinematic movies in EOS HD quality.
A newly designed 22.3 Megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor, Canon DIGIC 5+
Image Processor, and shooting performance up to 6.0 fps provide exceptional
clarity and sharpness, even when capturing rapidly-unfolding scenes. Additional
technological advancements include an Intelligent Viewfinder, Canon's advanced
iFCL metering system, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Multiple Exposure mode — all
of which that help make the EOS 5D Mark III the perfect multimedia tool.
- Newly designed 22.3 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, 14-bit A/D conversion, wide range ISO setting 100-25600 (L:50, H1: 51200, H2: 102400) for shooting from bright to dim light and next generation DIGIC 5+ Image Processor for enhanced noise reduction and exceptional processing speed.
- New 61-Point High Density Reticular AF including up to 41 cross-type AF points with f/4.0 lens support and 5 dual diagonal AF points (sensitive to f/2.8).
- iFCL Metering with 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor that utilizes AF and color information for optimizing exposure and image quality.
- EOS HD Video with manual exposure control and multiple frame rates (1080: 30p (29.97) / 24p (23.976) / 25p, 720: 60p (59.94) / 50p, 480: 30p (29.97) / 25p with 4 GB automatic file partitioning (continuous recording time 29 minutes 59 seconds), selectable "All i-frame" or IPB compressions, embedded timecode, manual audio level control while recording, and headphone terminal.
- Magnesium-alloy body with shutter durability tested up to 150,000 cycles, enhanced dust-and-weather resistance, and updated EOS Integrated Cleaning system for improved vibration-based dust removal.
- Intelligent Viewfinder with superimposed LCD display with approximately 100% field of view, wide viewing angle of 34.1°, and 0.71x magnification.
- 3.2-inch Clear View II LCD monitor, 170° viewing angle, 1,040,000-dot VGA, reflection resistance with multi coating and high-transparency materials for bright and clear viewing.
- Improved handling with the addition of new customizable controls, enhanced recording options with Dual Card Slots for CF and SD cards, Dual Axis Electronic Level, and compatibility with optional Canon Wireless File Transmitter and GPS Receiver.

Recording Functions
1. Standard
*
Records to either the CF card or SD card.
2. Auto switch card
*
When the current card becomes full, the camera switches to the other card
automatically.
3. Record separately
* The CF card and SD card
record the same image at a different image recording quality (L, M, S1, S2, S3,
RAW, M-RAW, S-RAW)
4. Record to multiple
* Both the CF card and SD
card record the same image at the same image recording quality. (Also applies to
RAW+JPEG, M+JPEG, and SRAW+JPEG)
Backup Recording
Images recorded in a card
can be copied to the other card
File Numbering
The following three types
of file numbers can be set:
(1) Continuous numbering
* The
continuous numbering of captured images will continue even after you replace the
camera's card. (The numbering continues even when the folder changes.)
(2) Auto reset
* When you replace the camera's card, the numbering will
be reset to start from 0001. If the new card already contains images, the
numbering will continue from the last recorded image in the card.
(3)
Manual reset
* Resets the file number to 0001, and creates a new folder
automatically.
RAW + JPEG Simultaneous Recording
The
image-recording quality can be selected in any combination of the three RAW and
eight JPEG recording quality settings.
