The Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR
Camera is a full-frame 22.3MP DSLR featuring exceptional still
image and movie recording capabilities. Integrating Canon's new DIGIC 5+ Image
Processor and 14-bit A/D conversion, this camera is able to produce superbly
detailed imagery with immense low-light sensitivity that is further aided by an
extended ISO range up to 102400. Image quality is further enhanced by the new
61-point high density reticular autofocus, including up to 41 cross-type AF
points and 5 dual diagonal AF points for ensured sharpness. iFCL metering works
in conjunction with the AF system and uses color information from scenes to
produce accurate exposure readings using a 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor.
HDR and Multiple Exposure modes provide greater creative opportunities and help
you to reduce the amount of post-production time needed to produce high quality
imagery. The 5D Mark III is also capable of recording Full HD video with manual
exposure control and in multiple frame rates, including 1080/30p and 720/60p.
Still images can also be recorded up to 6fps.
Image review is possible using the 1,040,000-dot 3.2" Clear
View II LCD monitor, which features a high-transparency, reflection resistant
multi-coating for adequate viewing under bright conditions. The Intelligent
Viewfinder also integrates a superimposed LCD providing you with exposure
information and features a 100% field of view.
A highly durable magnesium-alloy body surrounds the components
and offers increased dust and weather resistance. An updated EOS Integrated
Cleaning system also helps to reduce and remove dust within the camera body.
Several of the physical controls on the camera body are fully customizable for
a more efficient workflow and more convenient handling scheme. Dual CF and SD
memory card support also increases the compatibility of the camera. Support is
also provided for the optional Canon Wireless File Transmitter and GPS receiver
for remote logging, tracking, and sending of your imagery.
22.3 Megapixel
Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
A newly designed 22.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor
is incorporated into the 5D Mark III providing you with highly detailed, rich
images with a maximum resolution of 5760 x 3840 pixels. The sensor is also
features a high S/N ratio and larger individual pixels for increased visual
depth and cleaner looking images. A new photodiode structure and increased
photoelectric conversion rate also helps to improve the overall sensitivity of
the sensor, resulting in a reduction in image noise and improved high ISO
performance.
DIGIC 5+ Image
Processor
Processing speed and power are increased to
promote significantly greater overall performance and response from all aspects
of the camera. New algorithms are incorporated in order to promote better noise
reduction for higher ISOs and chromatic aberration compensation. The increase
in processing speed also helps to improve the continuous shooting rate,
bringing it to 6 full-resolution frames-per-second.
14-bit A/D Conversion
The 14-bit signal processing helps to improve
the quality and gradation of images by producing more natural, smooth-looking
results. An increased ISO range is also provided, from 100 to 25600 in standard
modes and 50 to 102400 in expanded modes. The ISO range can be controlled and
customized depending on the user's preferences, and additionally an auto ISO
mode can be employed. This extended sensitivity range helps to counter
frequently changing and difficult lighting situations and significantly
minimizes noise when photographing with even the top-rated sensitivity.
61-Point High Density
Reticular AF
The newly designed 61-point autofocus
interface helps to ensure critical focus no matter how complex or difficult the
situation is. Featuring up to 41 cross-type AF points (with f/4 lens support)
and 5 dual diagonal AF points (with f/2.8 sensitivity); this AF system is
highly accurate and extremely low-light sensitive.
The dedicated AF menu tab permits quick and easy access, eliminating the need
to navigate through settings menus in order to modify your AF settings.
Autofocus point selection is broken up into 6 different methods-Spot, Single
Point, Single + 4 Adjacent Points, Single + 8 Adjacent Points, Zone Selection,
and Automatic AF Point Selection-as well as a dedicated AF configuration tool
for control of AI Servo AF III tracking parameters.
iFCL 63-Zone Dual
Layer Metering Sensor
An intelligent metering system works in
conjunction with the autofocus system and independently analyzes 'Focus, Color,
and Luminance' within the scene for the most precise exposure settings
possible. The 63 zones cover the entire image area with great detail and the
dual-layer design permits a wider sensitivity to different wavelengths of
light.
The dual layers are split into a red/green channel and a blue/green channel;
which counters the red light sensitivity bias electronic sensors inherently
have. A series of algorithms are employed to combine data received from both
layers, with the resulting exposure reading being extremely accurate regardless
of the shooting conditions.
EOS HD Video
Full HD video recording is supported in
multiple formats, including 1080/30p, 24p, 25p; 720/60p, 50p; 480/30p, 25p.
While recording video, a 4GB automatic file partition is employed in order to
gain longer continuous recording times, up to 29 minutes 59 seconds. Both All
i-frame and IPB compressions are supported as well as the standard H.264/MPEG
-4 AVC codec. Embedding the time code is also possible for greater convenience
when recording with multiple cameras.
Video performance is further enhanced with the ability to manually adjust your
exposure settings and audio levels while recording. By employing Live View, you
can view your recording on the LCD and make settings changes with a dedicated
menu tab on the fly. The DIGIC 5+ processor also dramatically improves video
response times and helps to reduce color artifacts, aberrations, and moiré.
Rugged and Efficient
Design
Constructed from magnesium-alloy, the 5D Mark
III features a toughened housing that provides enhanced dust and weather
resistance. Its ergonomic design also produces an intuitively navigable
interface with an emphasis on lessening hand strain and increasing
functionality. Handling is simplified and natural with this body due to the
incorporation of customizable controls: You can make shooting settings with
just your right hand, and fast image check and image processing operations with
just your left. The redesigned grip offers easy holding when shooting or
carrying the camera, while the rubber skin coating has been engineered for all
day comfort in your hand and also coats the camera's card slot cover. Additionally,
there's an internal headphone terminal and dual card slots supporting both CF
and SD / SDHC / SDXC memory cards. Three recording modes are ideal for a
variety of workflows: Auto switch media instructs the camera to swap cards as
soon as one card is filled, a great feature for long shoots. The camera can
also record separately to each card. For extra security, you can set the Mark
III to generate an automatic backup by recording the same file to both cards at
the same time.
The 5D Mark III also boasts a dual-axis electronic level indicator displaying
vertical and horizontal tilt on the LCD monitor--either alone or during Live
View shooting. The indicator may also be displayed in the intelligent
viewfinder, if you prefer.
A newly designed shutter is equally as durable and has been tested up to
150,000 cycles. The lightweight, carbon fiber blades also provide support for
the increased 6fps burst rate.
The body construction also features extensive gasketing for maximum dust and
weather protection, even at connection points around the lens, hot shoe, and
memory card slots. Further dust protection and removal is aided by an updated
EOS Integrated Cleaning system that uses a vibration-based dust removal
process.
Intelligent Viewfinder
The optical viewfinder provides a 100% field
of view with 0.71x magnification and a wide viewing angle of 34.1%deg;. A
refined design integrates aspherical lens elements into the construction and
lessens distortions and color aberrations while providing greater clarity for composing
imagery. In addition to a clear view, a superimposed, transparent LCD is also
incorporated. This Intelligent Viewfinder mode can be toggled on or off quickly
at the touch of a button, allowing you to remove all camera information for
unobstructed viewing. The information provided when it is on includes a
customizable display of focus points and grid lines, which can also be directed
to appear outside of the image area.
Canon's Dual Axis Electronic Level can also be used in conjunction with the Intelligent
Viewfinder and visually displays pitch and roll angles, aiding in properly
level horizons. When used in the viewfinder, this feature can display +/- 6° of
roll and +/- 4° of pitch in 1° increments when held horizontally (the inverse
is shown when held vertically). The electronic level is particularly useful for
landscape photographers and those working with tilt and shift lenses whose
angle of view is especially critical.
3.2" Clear View
II LCD Monitor
The expanded 3.2" Clear View II LCD
provides high quality viewing with a 1,040,000-dot resolution and
anti-reflection coating. This allows for sharp and clear viewing in even the
brightest of conditions and displays images and videos with great detail and
richness. The display also features a viewing angle up to 170° for review from
the side or below.
The Dual Axis Electronic Level is also functional in on the LCD and can display
a full 360° of roll and +/- 10° of pitch in 1° increments. When used in
conjunction with Live View mode, a smaller display is placed over the image.
Live View mode permits real-time image review and can also place grid lines
over the image for compositional help. You can also zoom into and navigate
within the image when in Live View and use the grid lines for minute control and
precision over the alignment of your photograph.
Multiple Exposure and
High Dynamic Range
Multiple exposures are possible in-camera and
can be recorded onto a single file using 4 distinct settings for control. When
in Additive mode, this closely resembles making multiple exposures on film and
layers each exposure; manual exposure compensation is required. Average mode
layers the images and automatically compensates for the final exposure,
eliminating the unintended possibility of gross under or overexposure. Bright
mode is specifically designed for photographing in uniformly dark scenes with a
bright subject, such as a studio environment. Dark mode functions inversely,
and helps to eliminate overly bright sections of the image including
reflections and highlights.
A High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode is also incorporated and allows for the
creation of HDR images in-camera, reducing the time needed to manually overlay
images in post-production. When using this mode, a series of 3 bracketed
exposures are made of the same image, then automatically integrated into the
same frame, resulting in a photograph without blown highlights or blocked up
shadows and a long middle range of tones. This mode is especially useful when
photographing scenes with a great deal of contrast.
Wireless and GPS
Compatible
The 5D Mark III is compatible with the WFT-E7A
Wireless File Transmitter as well as the GP-E2 GPS Receiver (both not
included). The WFT-E7A, which supports 802.11 a/b/g/n and sports a built-in
Gigabit Ethernet connection, provides LAN and Bluetooth image transfers and
features an FTP mode with automatic image resend function to ensure file
delivery even if the signal momentarily drops. The transmitter also has EOS
utility mode and WFT server mode, and is capable of performing time sync
multiple cameras on the same network. The GP-E2, which connects via USB or Hot
Shoe, automatically embeds location data into the images' metadata, including
latitude, longitude, elevation, and the camera's orientation in relation to a
compass reading when shooting. It also has a GPS time sync function,
particularly useful when a project is shot among different time zones. Both of
these accessories do not compromise the 5D Mark III's dust and weather
resistance and are designed to the same rugged specifications. 1
Silent Shutter Mode
In both single shot drive and continuous shot
drive, a Silent Shutter mode can be employed to significantly reduce the sound
the camera makes when shooting.
Electronic Level
By pressing the INFO button an electronic level
can be engaged and will appear on the LCD monitor to indicate the horizontal
and vertical tilt of your camera. This is a very helpful feature for all
photographic applications, but particularly landscape and architecture
photography.
Optional Battery Grip
The optional dedicated Battery Grip BG-E11
(not included) features buttons and a multi-controller. It delivers seamless
performance regardless of whether the camera is in vertical or horizontal
orientation. The grip takes 2 LP-E6 batteries or an included AA battery
magazine, and is useful in counter-balancing large lenses during handheld
shooting.
