57-681: The original EOS-1 had been launched in 1989, two years after the company had introduced their new EOS autofocus system. It was the company's first professional-level EOS camera and was aimed at the same photographers who had used Canon's highly regarded, manual focus professional FD mount SLRs, such as the Canon New F-1 and the Canon T90 . On a physical level the EOS-1 resembled the T90, which had been designed for Canon by Luigi Colani . The EOS-1N

114-825: A 19-point AF layout, fitting essentially within the same diamond-shaped area of the frame as the nine-point layout. The EOS 70D , released in August 2013, inherited the 7D's 19-point layout, but with fewer AF control options. The 70D system was in turn handed down to the EOS 750D (Rebel T6i) and 760D (Rebel T6s), announced in February 2015. As mentioned above, the EOS 5D Mark III, EOS-1D X, EOS 5DS/5DS R, and EOS-1D X Mark II have 61-point AF layouts. The EOS 6D , released in October 2012, has an 11-point layout. The EOS 80D, announced in 2016, marked

171-439: A diamond-shape formation. The EOS 5D , released in 2005, takes this 9-point AF system a step further by introducing six more 'invisible' AF points (i.e., not user selectable) in helping the camera acquire focus faster during subject tracking. There have been several exceptions to Canon's recent rule of a 9-point AF system. The EOS 1000D (Rebel XS) has the 7-point AF system of most older Canon DSLRs. The EOS 7D, released in 2009, has

228-816: A high degree of accuracy. The EOS-1Ds Mk III , replaced by the EOS-1D X, has 19 cross-type sensors for higher accuracy, as well as placing the cross-type sensors to complement the Rule of Thirds . The other Canon professional SLR replaced by the EOS-1D X, the APS-H EOS-1D Mk IV , has 39 cross-type sensors, a major increase from the 19 of the Mk III . Of the 61 AF points of the EOS-1D X and 5D MkIII, 21 central points and 20 outer points are cross-type, and five central points are dual-cross-type (sensitive to diagonal lines in addition to horizontal and vertical). All 65 points of

285-518: A network. Canon also produces Speedlite accessories, including the OC-E3 Off-Camera Shoe Cord, which can be used to hand-hold the flash while allowing the camera to control it through the cord. The Off-Camera Shoe Cord is popular among portrait photographers who need to have more control over lighting than a camera mounted flash can offer. As of 2017, Canon has released no fewer than 70 EOS SLR and DSLR camera models, starting with

342-631: A non-removable Type B focusing screen . Two further Canon models were produced with pellicle mirrors, the EOS RT and the EOS-1N RS, the RT being based on the EOS 600 / EOS 630 and the 1N RS being based on the EOS-1N . As development of SLR cameras has progressed since these early models, fast sequence shooting has apparently become possible using ordinary moving mirrors in high-speed cameras, getting rid of

399-456: A portion of incoming light to a phase-detection autofocus unit, while the remaining light strikes a digital image sensor . Sony "SLT" cameras employ an electronic viewfinder (EVF) allowing exposure value , white balance and other settings to be verified and adjusted visually before taking a picture, although typically the EVF displays far less dynamic range than the sensor. The refresh rate of

456-534: A pre-flash for advanced metering, and used the autofocus system to judge where the main subject was for more accurate exposure. E-TTL II, which was an enhancement in the camera's firmware only, replaced E-TTL from 2004. Canon Speedlite -brand flashes have evolved alongside the cameras. They are capable of wired and wireless multi-flash setups, the latter using visible or infrared pulses to synchronise. Later models, including RT in their model name, can also communicate via radio links, where up to 16 units can make up

513-551: A recommended exposure reading in manual mode, leaving the user to accept the offered settings or not. The EOS-1N provides a viewfinder readout similar to the old F-1's needle display, but in electronic LCD form showing steps in 0.3, 0.5 or 1 stops. Like the EOS-5, the internal displays of the EOS-1N self-adjust in brightness in response to the brightness level of the subject. The optional Power Booster PB-E1 or Battery Pack BP-E1 attach to

570-448: A record 14 frames per second performance, being the fastest analog SLR of that time. Nippon Kogaku KK, Japan introduced their high-speed Nikon F2 H in 1976. The mirror is a pellicle rather than a conventional front surfaced mirror that swings out of the light path when the exposure is made. To identify the F2H, note the shutter speed dial has no T, B or 1/2000; has no self-timer and has

627-535: A reflex mirror directing the light beam from the lens to the focusing screen in the viewfinder, which is swung out of the light path when the exposure is made and causing the viewfinder to go dark. This action adds a delay between pressing the shutter release and the actual exposure of the film. The first camera to employ the pellicle mirror as a beam splitter for the viewfinder was the Canon Pellix , launched by Canon Camera Company Inc. Japan in 1965. The object

684-568: A second in all exposure modes. A non-timed bulb speed is available. Flash X-sync is available up to a shutter speed of 1/250 of a second. There are 14 custom functions to change the way the camera operates, which set options like exposure steps and mirror lock-up. The camera has user-interchangeable focusing screens, interchangeable with those out of other EOS-1-series cameras, and a now-discontinued interchangeable Canon Command Back E1. Power comes from one 2CR5 battery, an optional BP-E1 Battery Pack housing four AA alkaline or lithium batteries or

741-593: A skin or film. In photography, the pellicle mirror has been employed in single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras , at first to enable through-the-lens exposure measurement and possibly to reduce camera shake, but later most successfully to enable fast series photography, which otherwise would be slowed down by the movement of the reflex mirror, while maintaining constant finder vision. The first use of pellicle mirrors for consumer photography however were in color separation cameras. The Devin Tricolor Camera from at least

798-515: A tripod. For automatic focusing, the camera used a 5-point BASIS auto focus system with the sensors arranged horizontally across the middle of the viewing area. The center point is a cross-type, which detects horizontal and vertical lines, while the outer four detect vertical lines only. Metering modes include a 16-zone evaluative, center-weighted average, partial, selectable spot, and fine central spot metering mode. Film speeds can be set from ISO 6-6400 either manually or automatically by DX codes on

855-448: Is a large lens mount compared to most of its competition, enabling the use of larger aperture lenses. The flash system in the EOS cameras has gone through a number of evolutions since its first implementation. The basic EOS flash system was actually developed not for the first EOS camera, but rather for the last high-end FD-mount manual-focus camera, the T90 , launched in 1986. This was

912-502: Is also the name of the goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, which further signifies the design's generational stature. The EOS emblem was created using Handel Gothic typography. It competes primarily with the Nikon F series and its successors, as well as autofocus SLR systems from Olympus Corporation , Pentax , Sony / Minolta , and Panasonic / Leica . At the heart of the system is

969-645: Is an autofocus single-lens reflex camera (SLR) and mirrorless camera series produced by Canon Inc. Introduced in 1987 with the Canon EOS 650 , all EOS cameras used 35 mm film until October 1996 when the EOS IX was released using the new and short-lived APS film. In 2000, the D30 was announced, as the first digital SLR designed and produced entirely by Canon. Since 2005, all newly announced EOS cameras have used digital image sensors rather than film. The EOS line

1026-408: Is still in production as Canon's current digital SLR (DSLR) range, and, with the 2012 introduction of the Canon EOS M , Canon's mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera (MILC) system. In 2018 the system was further extended with the introduction of the EOS R camera, Canon's first full frame mirrorless interchangeable lens system. The development project was called "EOS" (Electro Optical System). EOS

1083-468: The Canon EF-M , which used the same EF lens mount as the EOS cameras. It came with all the automatic and manual exposure functions but lacked autofocus. It came equipped with a split-screen/microprism focusing screen for precise manual focusing. Through the tracking of eyeball movements , EOS cameras equipped with eye-controlled focusing (ECF) (some identifiable by the suffix E) were able to select

1140-493: The EF lens mount , which replaced the previous FD lens mount , which mainly supported only manual-focus lenses. The EOS R full frame camera introduced a new lens mount to the system – the RF mount . The bayonet-style EF lens mount is at the centre of the EOS camera system. Breaking compatibility with the earlier FD mount , it was designed with no mechanical linkages between moving parts in

1197-415: The 1938 version used two pellicle mirrors plus three color filters to split the image from a single lens into three images of the three additive primary colors. [1] Pellicle mirrors are ideal for this purpose, even today, since they are lighter and cheaper than an optical block of dichroic prisms, which would be heavy and expensive for large, high resolution film or plates. The conventional SLR camera has

1254-695: The 2 mp DCS 520 and the 6 mp DCS 560. The two cameras were also sold by Canon, as the Canon EOS D2000 and Canon EOS D6000 respectively. Canon's subsequent professional digital SLRs were produced independently of Kodak, and were initially based on the EOS-1V, before moving to custom-designed digital bodies.

1311-591: The 7D MkII are cross-type, but only the center point is dual-cross-type. Similarly, as of 2017 , all AF points on later generations of the X0D series (beginning with the 40D and continuing through the current 80D) are cross-type sensors for higher accuracy, and the center sensor is dual-cross-type for even greater accuracy and sensitivity. In June 2012, the EOS 650D (Rebel T4i) became the first consumer-level Canon to receive this AF system. Identical Canon models are sometimes marketed under different names in different parts of

1368-526: The Battery Pack BP-E1 is that is lighter and less expensive than the PB-E1, while still providing the advantage of using inexpensive AA batteries. In addition to the standard EOS-1N there was another, specialized model in the range — the EOS-1N RS, introduced in 1995, with a permanently attached power drive booster. This camera has a fixed pellicle mirror so there is no viewfinder black-out at

1425-675: The M5 but the M6 Mark II succeeds both the M5/M6. EOS M5 , EOS M6 , EOS M6 Mark II , EOS RP EOS R EOS R5 EOS R6 EOS R3 This is a list of the 35 mm Film and APS Canon EOS models in order of introduction: Prior to the introduction of the EOS D30 digital SLR, Kodak produced four digital SLRs also sold under the Canon brand. These cameras used a digital camera back with

1482-512: The PB-E1 Power Booster drive housing eight AA batteries and allowing for 6 frames per second to be photographed, depending on the type of battery and the shutter speed selected. The camera weighs in at 855 grams, or 1 lb and 14.15 oz. There were several versions of the EOS-1N available. The base model EOS-1N consisted of the standard camera body with significant upgrades over the EOS-1, launched in 1989. The EOS-1N DP comprised

1539-421: The base of the camera. The PB-E1 holds 8 AA batteries or an optional Ni-Cd pack, and boosts the standard frame rate from 3 frames per second to 6 (5 when using AI Servo AF). The PB-E1 has a shutter release and AE Lock button for use when shooting in the vertical format. There is also a Power Booster PB-E2 which adds a main control dial, focusing point selector button, and FE Lock/multi-spot metering button. The PB-E2

1596-416: The chances of a sharply focused photograph in situations where the subject travels across the frame at high speeds (e.g. sports, wildlife). Having so many AF points also helps relieve the photographer from having to use the 'lock focus and recompose' method of framing a photograph that can introduce focusing inaccuracy. The camera generally focuses on the closest object or on human faces, which may not be what

1653-571: The desired autofocus point in the scene, based on where the user was looking in the viewfinder frame. ECF was especially useful in sports photography where the subject may shift its position in the frame rapidly. EOS cameras equipped with ECF were the EOS A2E (U.S. model names are shown; see the table below for equivalents in other countries), EOS Elan IIE, EOS IXe, EOS-3 , EOS Elan 7E , and EOS Elan 7NE . Canon did not continue its use of eye-controlled focusing for its digital SLRs. The EOS Elan 7NE

1710-419: The eye off the viewfinder. A QCD is programmed to perform useful functions, which may include setting exposure compensation, setting of aperture in manual exposure mode, and scrolling of images and menus in digital EOS cameras. Currently, top-line EOS cameras have either 61 or 65 user-selectable autofocus (AF) points. Autofocus is a camera's ability to focus a lens automatically on an object by pressing down on

1767-538: The eye-controlled focus feature of the EOS-5 and the bar code reader of the EOS-10, neither of which are professional-level cameras. Another feature of the EOS-1N, and other professional models in the range, is the provision for a precise viewfinder indication of exposure in manual mode. This had previously been provided in fully manual cameras such as the F-1, but older Canon cameras with automatic exposure modes merely provided

1824-410: The film canisters. The camera allows variable Program autoexposure, as well as aperture-priority and shutter-priority automatic exposure and manual exposure. Another option is Depth-of-field AE (DEP), an automatic mode that selects the focusing distance and aperture f-number to place the depth of field between two user-specified near and far points. Shutter speeds range from 30 seconds to 1/8000 of

1881-490: The first Canon camera with through-the-lens (TTL) flash metering, although other brands had been metering that way for some time. It also introduced the A-TTL (Advanced TTL) system for better flash exposure in program mode, using infrared preflashes to gauge subject distance. This system was carried over into the early EOS cameras wholesale. A-TTL largely fell out of favor, and was replaced by E-TTL (Evaluative TTL). This used

1938-459: The image sensor and associated electronics designed and built by Kodak together with modified internals of the EOS-1N film SLR. Due to using the Canon EOS body, these four digital SLRs can accept EF lenses. The four cameras were: Pellicle mirror A pellicle mirror is an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight semi-transparent mirror employed in the light path of an optical instrument, splitting

1995-624: The introduction of the EOS 650 in 1987. In the 1990s, Canon worked with Kodak to produce digital camera bodies, starting with the EOS DCS 3 in 1995. The first digital EOS SLR camera wholly designed and manufactured by Canon was the EOS D30 , released in 2000. Canon sold two EOS cameras designed to use the APS film format, the EOS IX and the EOS IX Lite . Canon also sold a manual-focus camera,

2052-490: The lens and in the camera. The aperture and focus are controlled via electrical contacts, with motors in the lens itself. This was similar in some ways to Canon's earlier attempt at AF with the T80 . Other manufacturers including Contax (with its G series of interchangeable-lens 35 mm rangefinder cameras), Nikon 's 1983 F3AF, and Olympus (with its Four Thirds System ) have since embraced this type of direct drive system. It

2109-402: The light beam into two separate beams, both of reduced light intensity. Splitting the beam allows its use for multiple purposes simultaneously. The thinness of the mirror practically eliminates beam or image doubling due to a non-coincident weak second reflection from the nominally non-reflecting surface, a problem with mirror-type beam splitters . The name pellicle is a diminutive of pellis ,

2166-419: The mirror by operating a lever on the right-hand camera front for stopped down exposure reading, momentarily dimming the viewfinder. Two thirds of the light from the camera lens was let through the mirror, while the rest was reflected up to the viewfinder screen. The Pellix pellicle mirror was an ultra-thin (0.02 mm) Mylar film with a vapour deposited semi reflecting layer. Since there was no mirror blackout,

2223-409: The moment of exposure. The fixed mirror allows high-speed continuous shooting at a top speed of 10 frames per second, with a shutter release lag as low as 6 ms. There is a cost to this however: slightly less light reaches the film, as some is always being directed up to the viewfinder and optical quality loss. By the time of the release of the next generation EOS-1V, considerable technical improvements to

2280-527: The pellicle mirror. Probably the earliest is the Pathé WEBO M, m for membrane, of 1946. With that camera light is reflexed sideways into a primary plano-convex finder lens, the plane side being partially or fully matted. Another French amateur movie camera with a pellicle is the Christen Reflex for Double-Eight film. It was made from 1960 on and provides a lightly slanted deflection. Later, in 1967,

2337-469: The photographer wants, so EOS cameras equipped with a multi-point AF system still allow the photographer to manually select an AF point. The EOS-3, EOS-1V , all EOS-1D models prior to the EOS-1D X, EOS 80D , EOS 77D , and EOS 800D/Rebel T7i feature a 45-point AF system. Most Canon DSLRs introduced since late 2005, starting from the EOS 20D and the Rebel XTi (400D) , feature a nine-point AF system in

2394-503: The return of 45-point AF systems to the Canon EOS line, as well as the first appearance of a 45-point system in a non-professional body. This system was brought downmarket in 2017 with its inclusion in the upper-entry-level EOS 77D and mid-entry-level EOS 800D/Rebel T7i. For the earlier generation of 45-point AF system, the central column of 1 or 2 sensors (7 in all up to EOS-1Ds Mk II , EOS-1D Mk II N ) are cross-type sensors, which are sensitive to both vertical and horizontal lines to offer

2451-519: The same naming scheme as International ) E.g., EOS 7s (DSLRs share the same naming scheme as International ) E.g., EOS 3, EOS 5, 5DS / 5DS R , 5D , 5D Mark II , 5D Mark III , 5D Mark IV , 6D , 6D Mark II , 7D , 7D Mark II E.g., EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1V, EOS-1Ds Mark III , EOS-1D X Mark II EOS M , EOS M2 , EOS M3 , EOS M10 , EOS M100 EOS M50 , EOS M50 Mark II The M6 slots below

2508-460: The shutter button. Autofocus most often chooses the closest image in the field of view to focus on. The following EOS cameras feature such a system, with 61 points unless otherwise indicated: The release of the 5D Mark III gave Canon the lead once again in this category; previously, its top-line cameras had 45 AF points, which led the industry until Nikon released its D3 and D300 DSLRs with 51-point AF systems. A higher number of AF points increases

2565-579: The standard body and the BP-E1 pack (see below) and the EOS-1N HS comprised the standard body plus booster (see below). One feature the EOS-1N (and previous/subsequent '1' models) lacks, which lower models in the range have, is built-in flash, intentionally omitted to provide an overall very rigid camera body able to withstand severe treatment by professionals. Weather sealing was incorporated after feedback from working professionals. Other notable omissions are

2622-511: The standard camera design meant that Canon no longer offered RS model variants. The EOS-1N was discontinued in 2001 with the arrival of the EOS-1V . During the late 1990s, Canon and Kodak collaborated on a range of professional digital SLRs which combined Canon EOS-1N bodies with Kodak digital sensors and electronics. They were Canon's first ventures into the digital SLR marketplace and divided into two distinct generations. The first generation

2679-501: The thumb. The QCD is used for quick access to often-used functions that would otherwise require a more complicated procedure of button presses and dial clicks. Settings such as ISO button, Exposure Compensation button, or menus are all easily available through the QCD. Cameras equipped with the QCD can easily be operated with one hand (forefinger on the main dial, thumb on the QCD) without taking

2736-553: The user could see the image at the moment of exposure. The next 35mm SLR camera to employ the pellicle mirror was the Canon F-1 High Speed , made available in the event of the 1972 Olympic games, the object being rapid series photography, difficult at the time to obtain with a moving mirror. The mirror design was the same as in the Pellix. In 1984, Canon released another version of their then "New F-1" , which attained

2793-494: The viewfinder is limited by the time it takes the sensor to make a usable exposure; thus in low light the frame rate of the viewfinder may be as low as four frames per second. "SLT" cameras also lack a real-time view at high shooting rates, when the viewfinder shows the last picture taken instead of the one being taken — a phenomenon comparable to certain older SLRs that can only achieve their maximum burst rate in mirror lock-up . Few film movie cameras have been made that make use of

2850-551: The vulnerable pellicle mirror that was prone to dust and dirt. The mirror mechanism of conventional SLR cameras has improved since the Pellix mirror was introduced; the viewfinder is dark for only a very short time, the shutter lag is small, and the mirror-return is fast enough for rapid shooting. Digital SLR cameras are able to take ten frames or more per second employing an instant-return mirror. Sony has introduced cameras with plastic pellicle-like mirrors, which it describes as "Single-Lens Translucent" cameras. These cameras divert

2907-600: The world. For example, the EOS Rebel 2000 known in the Americas is also known as EOS Kiss III in Japan, and EOS 300 in other parts of the world. E.g., EOS 650D , EOS 300V , EOS 1100D , EOS 100D , EOS 4000D E.g., EOS Digital Rebel T3 , EOS Rebel T4i , EOS Rebel SL1 E.g., EOS Kiss Digital N , EOS Kiss X6i , EOS Kiss X7 E.g., EOS 40D , EOS 70D , EOS 760D E.g., EOS Elan 7N (DSLRs share

2964-399: Was a revision of the EOS-1, with five autofocus points spread across the frame rather than a single centrally-mounted autofocus point, plus more effective weather sealing, a wider exposure range, and numerous other improvements. In common with the EOS-1, the 1N used Canon's A-TTL automatic flash system , and does not support the more modern E-TTL. At the time of its creation, The Canon EOS-1N

3021-410: Was designed for the later EOS-3 camera, and only provides the functionality of a PB-E1 when attached to an EOS-1 or 1N. The BP-E1 is a lighter and simpler accessory. This holds a 2CR5 lithium battery and 4 AA cells (in the removable Battery Magazine BM-1). The user can select between the two power sources with a switch. It provides a grip for vertical shots but no additional controls. The major appeal of

3078-406: Was placed at the top of Canon's EOS camera line. The camera featured polycarbonate external construction with weather-resistant seals around buttons, dials and its Canon EF lens mount. The fixed eye-level pentaprism viewfinder has 100-percent vertical and horizontal coverage, has dioptric viewfinder adjustment from –3 to +1 diopter and has as a viewfinder eyepiece blind to block stray light when on

3135-522: Was the Kodak EOS DCS series of 1995, which encompassed the 6 mp EOS DCS 1 , the 1.3 mp DCS 3 , and the 1.5 mp DCS 5 . The EOS-1N camera bodies were almost unmodified from stock configuration, and were mounted on a removable Kodak digital back. The relationship continued with the Kodak DCS 500 series, which fully integrated the EOS-1N body with Kodak's imaging components. The range consisted of

3192-462: Was the last EOS camera to have this function, until 2021 when Canon reintroduced eye-controlled focus with the EOS R3 . Most prosumer and professional level EOS cameras feature a large quick control dial (QCD) on the camera back. The first consumer-level EOS camera with this feature was the EOS 760D/Rebel T6s , announced in February 2015. This feature allows easy adjustment of certain parameters using

3249-412: Was to accomplish exposure measurement through the lens (TTL) , which was pioneered by Tokyo Kogaku KK, Japan in the 1963 Topcon RE Super. That employed a CdS meter cell placed behind the reflex mirror that had narrow slits cut into the surface to let the light reach the cell. Canon improved on the idea by making the mirror semi-translucent and fixed. The meter cell was swung into the light-path behind
