| Picture resolution (mega-pixel) |
12.8 |
The more pixels will mean a better quality of print. Digital cameras come in a range of resolutions from 0.3 Megapixel up to around 16.7 Megapixel. |
| Image resolution |
4368x2912 |
Refers to the number of pixels used to either capture or display an image. The higher the resolution the finer the image detail that can be seen. |
| LCD monitor (inches) |
2.5 |
Most digital cameras have an built-in screen, which allows you to preview the image you have just taken, so you can delete the images you don't like. It also provides easy access to camera settings and features via the on-screen menu controls. |
| Auto focus |
Yes |
Most digital cameras feature an autofocus mode, by which electronics inside the camera examine the image, looking for edges and lines. They then adjust and focus the lens to make the lines as sharp as possible, all in a fraction of a second. Some systems also include a small lamp next to the flash which casts a grid pattern on to the subject for an instant to help the camera focus in low light. |
| Manual focus |
Yes |
Essential for situations when the auto focus can’t cope such as shooting through a window, when the image lacks detail or when you want to concentrate on something closer to the lens than the main subject. |
| Exposure Modes |
Auto, Program, Shutter priority, Aperture priority, Manual and custom |
A digital SLR can have a variety of exposure and scene modes. Exposure modes range from fully automatic to semi-automatic to full manual mode. Scene modes have factory optimised settings for different subjects and scenes. |
| Metering |
TTL full aperture metering with 35 point evaluative, Centre weighted, partial and spot metering |
This is how the camera measures the amount of light being reflected by whatever you are trying to photograph, to determine the correct exposure for that particular scene. Different types of metering used by digital cameras include: Spot, Multi-pattern and centre weighted metering. |
| Shutter speeds (seconds) |
30-1/8000 |
Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter allows light onto the CCD. The slower the shutter speed, the more motion is recorded by the camera. |
| Movie mode |
No |
Movie mode is the ability to capture video clips on a stills camera. The Resolutions and frames per second of these movies varies from camera to camera, high-quality being 640x480 Pixels at 30fps. |
| Memory card type |
CompactFlash/Microdrive |
The types of memory used are: SD card, Sony Memory Stick, CompactFlash card and SmartMedia card. |

| Additional Information |
The EOS 5D's 12.8 Megapixel full frame CMOS sensor (35.8x23.9mm) offers full freedom of expression. Wide lenses stay wide and the viewfinder is bright and open. Subtle tonal gradations are reproduced in shadow, midtone and highlights. A low pass filter and on chip circuitry suppress false colours and noise. Low (L:50) and high (H:3200) ISO settings extend the standard 100-1600 range. JPEG and RAW images can be written simultaneously. The Digital Photo Professional software permits high-speed processing of loss less RAW images. The EOS 5D's tough, compact magnesium alloy body weighs just 810 grams; ideal for assignments requiring discretion. |
