Dependable, Repeatable High Image Quality SMALL PRODUCT The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2A integrates elegantly with the EOS-1Ds Mark III, is powered by the camera body and is as durable and weather-resistant as the camera itself. Large 3.0-inch LCD Monitor with Live View Function The 3.0-inch LCD monitor on the EOS-1Ds Mark III provides the photographer With 10x magnification with a large, bright, detailed view of images and graphical data. The bigger image area makes it easier than ever to confirm capture, check memory card contents, confirm shooting parameters and access all menu options. Moreover, the EOS-1Ds Mark III features a sophisti- cated Live View Function, which makes the 3.0-inch LCD monitor a real-time finder. When the Live View Function is enabled, the reflex mirror is locked up and the shutter opened. The image output from the CMOS sensor will be displayed in real time on the LCD monitor at 100% coverage. A selectable portion of the image can be magnified by 5x or 10x to aid in precise manual focusing. Manual focus, exposure check, composing and shooting can all be accomplished in this mode. Live View Function is convenient for tripod-mounted shooting, macro work and other situations in which it would be a physical strain to keep the eye at the viewfinder. The Live View Function image can also be displayed on a TV monitor, which is ideal for showing images, as they are being composed, to clients and portrait subjects. 31 Highlight Tone Priority: ON Highlight Tone Priority: OFF Highlight Tone Priority Activated via a Custom Function, the Highlight Tone Priority mode employs sophisticated processing algorithms to preserve greater detail in image highlight areas - a perennial problem for digital photographers, especially those who work in bright sunlight or contrasty studio lighting. Highlight Tone Priority actually expands the available range of capture in the highlights, yet it exacts no penalties in either shadow detail or camera performance. It benefits photographers who shoot RAW images as well as those who rely on in-camera processing. 29 Stunning Image Quality The EOS-1Ds Mark III features a Canon full-frame 21.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor. Compared to typical smaller digital camera sensors, the Canon full-frame sensor can accommodate a tremendous pixel count while maintaining larger individual pixel site size. Larger sites improve light gathering capability, enabling the sensor to produce a cleaner, more noisefree image. The Canon full-frame sensor thus delivers ultra-high-resolution images of exacting precision with glorious color richness and tonal accuracy. 23 T" he EOS-1Ds Mark III is great! The ability to capture fine image detail is of paramount importance in my work, and this camera truly delivers. What also impressed me is the precise rendering of tonal nuance over a wide range of light values, which is equally important in my images. This camera's features - like the 3.0inch LCD, Live View Function and improved wireless capabilities - are exactly what I've wanted for tabletop work. A superior tool... a joy to use."
