This means that the exposure is determined from the amount of light actually passing through the lens which will “take” the picture, providing much greater accuracy. SLRs offer a wide choice of shutter speeds. A fast shutter speed is necessary to freeze action successfully. A slow shutter speed, on the other hand, is often used to capture an image in very low light or for artistic effect—to exaggerate running water, to interpret motion poetically. The adjustable aperture of an SLR likewise affects depth of field which represents how much of the foreground and background are in focus. With a head shot, for example, photographers will opt for a shallow depth of field. As a result, the subject is sharp, but the background, which would distract the viewer, is blurred, almost abstract. Interchangeable Lenses Another major advantage an SLR has over a point-and-shoot camera is that a lens can be removed and other lenses and accessories can be fitted to the camera body. This versatility, along with high image quality, is a prime reason for buying an SLR. In addition SLRs offer photographers enduring construction and compatibility with a broad range of accessories, including lenses from which to choose. Flash Capability SLR cameras can be equipped with powerful flash units which can light subjects up to 70 feet away. Flashes on point-and-shoot cameras have a limited range, usually about 10 or 15 feet. SLRs can also be connected to or synchronized with studiolighting equipment for more sophisticated exposures. Photographers can hook up their SLR to studio lighting equipment and use soft lights or hot lights to create appealing portrait and product photos. Manual Control With an SLR camera, the photographer has complete creative control. With a point-andshoot, the camera has control—it automatically selects the aperture and shutter speed, thereby reducing the amount of influence the photographer has on the final image. SLRs require the photographer to make more decisions. But, that very control means the camera can be adjusted to a variety of lighting and focusing situations. For example, a backlit subject easily confounds most automatic exposure systems. A knowledgeable photographer however, can compensate by using a greater exposure than the automatic recommendation. Similarly, a window between the subject and the camera can fool most infrared automatic focusing systems. Manual focus wouldn’t be fooled. SLRs and Point-and-Shoots: Which do you need? A good way of looking at SLR versus point-and-shoot cameras is to think of each as a very specialized tool—like different types of wrenches. Picking the right tool makes all the difference in doing the job right. ◆ Digital point-and-shoot cameras are easy to use, give good results, and are very affordable. Today megapixel + resolution can be had for well under a $400. Long the choice for family pictures and vacations. ◆ They are also used in business. They capture portraits for corporate ID cards, illustrating real estate brochures, or putting images on web sites. Pointand-shoot cameras are auto everything: focus, flash and exposure. Taking pictures is a snap—look through the viewfinder, press the button, and the camera captures the picture. ◆ SLRs cameras are better suited for capturing images in low-light situations and have more precise focusing. The option to select shutter speed and aperture and the flexibility to use different lenses give the photographer greater control over the final result. ◆ They feature autofocus and a choice of manual or a range of automatic exposure modes. However, for more sophisticated projects, such as creating sales flyers, catalogs, technical and training manuals, and many other applications, photographers are much better served by an SLR.

The photographer sees exactly what the lens sees— especially important when taking close-up photographs. Another advantage is that the photographer can attach the camera to a telescope or microscope, fit diffusers or masks over it, and still see the precise image the lens will produce on film. DIGITAL SLRs The single-lens-reflex (SLR) camera provides many capabilities not found in snapshot or point-and-shoot cameras – such as interchangeable lenses and other accessories – which give photographers greater control and flexibility. SLRs allow photographers to check image sharpness visually. The effects of changing lenses or adding attachments are immediately visible in the viewfinder. Technically, the SLR differs from the point and shoot camera in that an SLR uses one lens for both the viewing and taking of a picture. Just before the SLR shutter opens, a mirror, which has been reflecting the image into the viewfinder, flips up, allowing the image to fall on the CCD—as the shutter opens. This makes for more accurate framing, especially when photographing close-up subjects. But there are many other differences.

The camera automatically employs one of 3 AF systems to let you seize every photo opportunity with fast, accurate focus. – One-Shot AF ensures precise, carefree focus in all-around shooting. – AI Servo AF tracks active subjects to predict their movement, making continuous focusing calculations right up to the last possible moment for dynamic stop-action shots. – AI Focus AF switches between One-Shot AF and AI Servo AF when it senses that subjects are starting and stopping. It's perfect for children, pets, wildlife and other unpredictable subjects. ◆ Rapid image processing and a generous buffer memory maintain sharp, accurate focus with speedy subject tracking even in the Continuous Shooting Mode, allowing you to capture split-second action sequences at 2.5 fps with a 4-shot burst. CANON EOS DIGITAL REBEL 35-Zone Evaluative Metering ◆ 35-zone evaluative metering ensures accurate, consistent exposure, taking into account lighting extremes and subject position through the active focusing point. Whether light is bright and sunny or darkly atmospheric, whether it comes from the front or the back, exposure is detailed, natural and flattering. ◆ Control is there when you want it, with Partial Metering to bring extra sensitivity to high-contrast situations, or Centerweighted Average Metering in manual exposure mode. ◆ The camera offers an extensive range of ISO speeds, allowing you to quickly compensate for shifting light conditions: • When shooting in Full Auto, Landscape, Close-up, Night Portrait or Flash Off modes, ISO speed is automatically set between 100 and 400 in 1/3-stop increments to suit the shooting conditions. • In Portrait mode, speed is set to 100, Sports, 400, and in Creative Zone modes, speed can be set manually via the LCD screen menu from 100 to 1600. • When using the built-in flash, speed is automatically set to 400 in Full Auto, Close-up and Night Portrait modes, and 100 in Portrait mode. Advanced White Balance ◆ White Balance options including Auto, Daylight, Shade, Overcast, Tungsten Bulb, Fluorescent Light, Flash and Custom modes are available to handle a wide range of color temperatures so any shot can look as if it were lit with pure white light. ◆ Also offers White Balance Bracketing, which lets you capture three JPEG images (normal, reddish, bluish) at the same exposure level with one shot, with the white balance shifted up to ± 3 steps in whole-stop increments. ➤ The camera’s large-format, high-resolution CMOS sensor captures a staggering 6.3 million pixels (3072 x 2048 pixels) to deliver images that will astonish you with their depth and detail. As it captures images, the sensor amplifies each pixel's electric charge, for ultra-fast image scanning that's simply unmatched. A superior sensor design raises the maximum ISO speed while lowering image degradation during long exposures. The sensor also has a 3:2 aspect ratio, traditional to 35mm film, for a familiar compositional feel. In short, the CMOS sensor allows the EOS Digital Rebel to achieve film-like quality while offering all the advantages of digital technology. ➤ Developed by Canon exclusively for the CMOS sensor, the DIGIC Imaging Processor gives Canon digital cameras a major advantage over other brands. Typical processors address stray light and false colors (noise) by making adjustments after an image is recorded which invariably degrades resolution. DIGIC prevents noise from being produced in the first place, so images are clearer, truer and extremely lifelike. DIGIC also offers “parallel” processing, making the EOS Digital Rebel super responsive and agile, and high-capacity buffer means you won’t have to wait between shots. Speed also gives the camera’s automatic systems added precision, so focus, exposure and white balance are optimized for deep detail, smooth gradation in highlight areas, and color that is utterly natural. ➤ Canon’s world-renown EF lenses lead the industry with technical achievements like the elimination of camera shake, smooth operation and unparalled sharpness and color reproduction. The EOS Digital Rebel is compatible with over 50 of these lenses, from ultra wide-angle to super telephoto and everything in between, including fish-eye, macro and tilt-shift lenses.

As a result, in the Large/Fine mode, playback time is 3x faster than other cameras. ◆ The Digital Rebel swings back into shooting mode at the touch of the shutter button, ensuring that the next great shot is not missed while the last great shot is being reviewed or even direct printed. ◆ In the playback mode, images are automatically rotated to an upright position for more convenient viewing on the LCD screen or on your computer. Advanced Shooting Options 142 ◆ The Digital Rebel will satisfy advanced photographers with sophisticated functions like AE Lock to prioritize the exposure based on a specific area, FE Lock for flexible flash exposure control, and Auto Exposure Bracketing to record 3 consecutive images with bracketed exposures. There is also a Depth-of-Field Preview Button so you can check the front-to-back sharpness of an image just before shooting. Simultaneous RAW + JPEG ◆ Image quality can be controlled in any exposure mode by selecting from 6 JPEG settings with varying degrees of resolution and compression. You can also record high-resolution RAW files with simultaneous mid-fine JPEG capture. The smaller JPEG file is ideal for e-mailing and computer viewing while the RAW format preserves maximum control over image processing parameters with the bundled File Viewer Utility software. ◆ RAW files contain complete imaging information for complete latitude in processing parameter settings (files are processed in the computer, not in the camera, providing a range of options— sharpening, color saturation—before images even reach the editing software), while more compact JPGs are ideal for quick previews or sending over the Internet. Having both frees you from deciding an end use before you shoot. PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO Comprehensive Processing Parameters When it comes to perfectly processing and printing the pictures it captures, the EOS Digital Rebel offers a direct print option that automatically enhances sharpness, saturation, and contrast for high-quality direct printing with no additional image manipulation needed. However, for greater creative latitude during post-processing you can apply standard processing parameters. You can also create and store up to 3 sets of custom parameters with wide creative latitude. Each of the four parameters (contrast, sharpness, color saturation and color tone) can be adjusted to one of 5 steps. ◆ The Digital Rebel also supports both standard RGB color space or Adobe RGB color space. Adobe RGB is a broader color spectrum with low saturation, perfect for subsequent saturation adjustment or profile conversions. Direct Printing For instant direct printing just plug the Digital Rebel into one of Canon’s Card Photo or Bubble Jet Direct Photo Printers. In addition, PictBridge compatibility allows you to connect the camera to any PictBridgecompatible printer and access a wide range of printing media, modes and styles. Canon-to-Canon direct printing, however,will produce the speediest, most reliable quality printing,with extra options for printing effects and a handy display when it’s time to replace ink cartridges. With Exif Print 2.2, images are processed intelligently based on information the camera has recorded with each shot, while Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) support means Windows XP and Mac OS X users won’t need to install any dedicated driver software to connect the camera to a computer EQUIPMENT LEASING AVAILABLE CANON EOS DIGITAL REBEL CompactFlash Intelligent Built-in Flash The camera’s high profile, built-in retractable flash unit makes taking pictures with well-balanced foreground and background exposures a snap thanks to Canon’s exclusive E-TTL (Evaluative Through-The-Lens) flash exposure metering system.

FEATURES 6.3-Megapixel CMOS Sensor Canon’s newly developed large, single-plate CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range. Created through a new high-precision manufacturing method, this high-sensitive sensor delivers ultra-fine accuracy with an effective 6.3-megapixel resolution (3072 x 2048 pixels). It features advanced new peripheral circuitry that enhances image quality, an improved built-in amp that boosts the S/N ratio, and a superior sensing process that raises the maximum ISO speed while lowering image degradation during long exposures. Images are luminescent, life-like, and incredibly rich in detail. In short, the EOS 10D confidently rivals film quality, while offering all the advantages of digital technology. The effective sensor size (22.7 x 15.1mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF lens focal length. DiG!C Imaging Engine Information captured by the CMOS sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional quality by Canon’s all new DIGIC Imaging Engine. Color reproduction is extremely natural and details are incredibly precise, especially with gradations in the highlight areas. In fact, reproduction is so accurate that noise reduction is unnecessary, even with long exposures. The processor renders signal noise (stray light or off-color pixels) minimal to non-existent, for an extraordinary leap in technology that frees you to enlarge, crop and retouch with exceptional results. In addition to enhancing image quality, the DIGIC Imaging Engine’s faster processing capability speeds overall operation and heightens the accuracy of the camera’s autofocus and other systems.

Having both frees you from deciding an end use before you shoot. ◆ While RAW files are always captured at maximum resolution, there are 6 options for image quality (resolution/compression) of the embedded JPEG file. ◆ RAW files can be converted into full 16-bit per channel TIFF files, opening up incredible shadow and highlight detail in high-contrast images. CANON EOS 10D 7-Point AF System with Selectable Focusing Points Three Distinct AF Modes The EOS 10D incorporates three distinct AF modes to cover any situation: Predictive AI Servo AF: Tracks moving subject to predict proper focus with unbelievable precision. Makes incredible stopaction shots simple and automatic. AI Focus AF: In this mode the camera will automatically choose between One-shot AF and AI Servo AF, depending on the characteristics of the subject. 3 fps Continuous Shooting ◆ Powerful image-processing engine and high-capacity buffer memory (32 MB), enables shooting up to 9 frames at full resolution while firing at 3 fps and this is maintained regardless of recording quality, ISO speed and subject conditions. For your convenience, the actual number of continuous shots the camera is achieving is displayed in real time right in the viewfinder. ◆ And to capture that crucial image, the camera’s 100ms shutter release lag time (same as a film camera) ensures that the camera is activated almost instantly. ◆ Shutter speeds are available from 1/4000 to 30 seconds (1/3- and 1/2-stop increments) and bulb. Long exposure noise reduction technology dramatically reduces digital “noise” in exposures as long as 30 seconds. The camera’s new evaluative sensor takes the guesswork out of exposure. The sensor takes metering information form 35 zones, evaluates the data and weighs it intelligently based on several factors. The result? Complex scenes are properly exposed, and multiple images of the same scene are consistent. 35-zone Evaluative Metering: Because the system is linked to the AF point in use, metering emphasis falls on the subject. Exposure compensation is automatically activated when appropriate. Partial Metering: This system offers careful metering of difficult lighting situations and close-ups by measuring 9% of the picture’s center, which is demarcated with a circle in the viewfinder. Center-weighted Averaging Metering: With emphasis on the center of the viewfinder, metering is carried out over the entire picture area. Exposure Bracketing and Customizable Camera Functions As accurate as Canon’s metering system is, there are times when some correction is needed to better interpret your creative vision. The EOS 10D lets you fine tune exposures up to ±2 stops in 1/2- or 1/3-stop increments. Or, use auto exposure bracketing to automatically capture a series of normal, over- and under- exposures of the same scene. For more control, there are 17 custom functions with 61 setting for fine tuning functions such as mirror lock up, long exposure noise reduction, built-in flash synchro timing control, manual shutter and aperture setting increments, AE bracketing sequence, and release button/AE lock button function, to suit your own style of photography. Custom Functions are easily selectable through and easy-to-use menu that displays text in your choice of 12 languages. 11 Versatile Shooting Modes: Pre-programmed shooting modes optimize the camera’s settings to best handle a variety of shooting situations, including Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports and Night Portrait. There are also other shooting modes, designed to give you exceptional latitude in creating the images you envision: Intelligent Program AE for fully automatic shooting, Program AE to let you experiment with shutter and aperture combinations, Shutter and Aperture AE, *Automatic Depth of Field (A-DEP) to create a “zone of sharpness”, full manual, Auto Exposure Bracketing, AE Lock and Flash Off Mode. * Camera sets the focus and aperture necessary to create sufficient depth of field to cover the distance between the nearest and furthest subjects covered by the 7 focusing points. Ultra-fine Processing Parameter Settings Image processing parameters can also be adjusted before you take the shot. You can set up to three sets of of parameters (contrast, sharpness, color saturation and color tone/balance), with each parameter adjustable to one of five settings via rear LCD monitor menu. The color tone/balance parameter is mainly used to adjust flesh tones for portraits, toward the minus side (redder) or plus side (more yellow). Once parameter sets have been registered, they can be called up on the menu whenever they are desired for particular shooting conditions. ORDER & INFO.

LCD Playback ◆ When viewing recorded images on the camera’s 1.8-inch (118,000 pixels) TFT color LCD, you can enlarge them up to 10X in 15 steps for detailed analysis of lighting, composition, camera movement, focusing accuracy, facial expression, etc. Simple controls enable horizontal and vertical scrolling, as well as viewing of the previous or next image from the same enlarged view. In maximum reduced view, nine images can be displayed simultaneously, making it easy to quickly evaluate them. ◆ In playback mode, images that were taken with the EOS 10D turned sideways are automatically rotated to an upright position for more convenient viewing. Additionally, rotation data is embedded in the file as an EXIF tag for greater convenience when downloading or viewing images with compatible software such as Canon’s ZoomBrowser EX, ImageBrowser and File Viewer Utility. ◆ LCD monitor’s backlight is powered by white LEDs rather than a fluorescent light source, delivering greater maximum brightness together with lower power consumption. As a result, it can be set to one of 5 brightness levels, conserving even more power when brighter light isn’t necessary. PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO ISO Flexibility The superior noise reduction of the DIGIC Imaging Engine has enabled Canon to expand the EOS 10D’s choice of ISO settings, making it easier to adjust to shifting light conditions, achieving not only the highest quality, but the best representation of the photographer’s intent. ISO speed is set automatically between 100 and 400 in 1/3-stop increments in Program Image Control modes, and 100 or 200 when the flash is used. In addition, the camera offers a broad range of manual settings from 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 or 3200 by way of an ISO speed button on the camera’s top panel that has been added for easier operation.

One of these is the ability to switch between standard sRGB color space and Adobe RGB color space. Adobe RGB color space is a broader-than-standard color spectrum with relatively low saturation. Use it when you plan to make fine adjustments to color saturation in your finished images. Extensive White Balance Controls The EOS 10D lets you take charge of white balance. Multiple white balance functions enable you to take attractive, sharp pictures in a variety of lighting conditions – including sunset, incandescent or fluorescent lighting – without having to use filters. It also lets you intentionally change the white balance to emphasize particular coloration or hues in the subject. Proper use of white balance makes good images great, and the EOS 10D lets you take the kind of control over white balance that was once limited to highly professional cameras. • Preset White Balance settings include: Daylight, Overcast, Shade (counters strong blue tones typical in open shade on sunny days), Tungsten, Fluorescent and Flash. There is also Hybrid Auto for effortless shooting, and Custom which lets you shoot a white object in the given lighting, then lock the proper white balance via a display on the LCD screen. • Manually set color temperature from 2,800K to 10,000K in fine 100K increments • White Balance Bracketing captures three images (normal, reddish and bluish) with one shot. You select the steps in ±3 whole-stop increments EQUIPMENT LEASING AVAILABLE CANON EOS 10D High Grade Body ◆ The EOS 10D’s rigid, ultra high-quality ◆ A more “muscular” pentaprism adds presence, and combined with a spherical grip and rubber skin offers excellent comfort and handling. ◆ The ergonomically-shaped shutter button ◆ An automatic retractable flash built into the EOS 10D’s pentaprism, pops up and fires automatically when shooting in the Full Auto, Close-up or Night Portrait modes, and in low light and backlit daytime conditions. It can also be manually selected. Features include a maximum X-sync speed of 1/200 seconds, a recycling time of approximately 3 seconds, and a red-eye reduction lamp that illuminates before the flash fires. ◆ The EOS 10D can also use EOS series flashes without modification. The E-TTL autoflash- compatible hot shoe accepts Canon EOS-dedicated external flashes, including the 220EX, 420EX, 550EX, MR-14EX and MT-24EX. The x-sync contact works with external flash, and the remote terminal connects to the 3-pin remote controller. and electronical dials make even the longest shooting sessions a pleasure. E-TTL Auto Exposure Flash System Dedicated Buttons ◆ Laser Matte Screen ◆ Comes with a Laser Matte focusing screen that makes it easy to distinguish the part of the subject with sharpest focus when manually focusing. EF Lens Compatibility E-TTL automatic flash exposure is also possible when an EX-series Speedlite is mounted. This enables great pictures to be taken with a flash even under difficult lighting situation. The camera is also equipped with a flash exposure compensation function and a first- and second-curtain synchronization switching function, that comes in handy when shooting a moving object in low light. Canon’s most advanced flash exposure control system, E-TTL (Evaluative through-the-lens) is a flash mode that reads through the lens, but not off the focal plane. This method provides several extra features such as Flash Exposure Lock (a method of spot metering with flash) and FP flash mode (the ability to use flash at high shutter speeds). Utilizing a preflash fired after the button has been fully depressed but before the camera’s reflex mirror goes up, E-TTL uses the camera’s evaluative metering sensor to analyze and compare ambient light exposure values with illumination reflected from the subject by the preflash. This data is used to calculate and store the flash output required for optimum exposure of the main subject, while maintaining a subtle balance between foreground and background. ◆ The EOS 10D is compatible with over 50 Canon EF lens‚—each micron-engineered to deliver unmatched resolution and super operability. ◆ However, the effective focal lengths of the lenses increases approximately 1.6x when used with the 10D, while maintaining as aspect ratio for a visual perspective that is familiar to the 35mm photographer. Therefore, the coverage with a 28mm lens is approximately the same as that of a 35mm film camera with a 45mm lens (28mm X 1.6= 44.8mm). ◆ The EOS 10D is also compatible with EOS system Speedlites, remote controls, power drive boosters, grips and more, for photographic possibilities that are truly limitless. FE Lock: Light reflected from the subject by a pre-flash is measured with partial metering for optimum flash control. The main subject can therefore be photographed at the correct exposure even when a high-brightness portion exists in the background. Framing can also be performed without limitation. High-speed Synchro Photography: Attach the Speedlite 550EX and a highspeed synchro (FP flash) function is provided. This allows the use of electronic flash even at high shutter speeds. Backgrounds can be blurred intentionally using the high-speed synchro function to select a large aperture. FEB (Flash Exposure Bracketing): Without changing the background exposure level, the amount of flash illumination (using the Speedlite 550EX or Macro Ring Lites MR-14EX and MT-24EX) falling on the subject can be automatically changed as follows: standard, underexposure compensation, overexposure compensation. The compensation range is from -3EV to +3EV, in 1/3 or 1/2 step increments. E-TTL Multiple Wireless Flash: By using several 550EX Speedlite flashes, multiple flash photography, which normally requires a high level of sophistication, can be performed in full-auto mode.

The EOS-1D offers an unbelievable 8 frames per second burst mode (up to 21 frames) and incredible top shutter speed of 1/16,000 of a second. and X-sync at 1/500 sec. Ultra-short viewfinder blackout time (87ms) allows photographers to clearly see through the viewfinder, even while shooting at maximum speed. This is 150 ideal for professional photographers, from sports shooters and photojournalists to nature and wildlife enthusiasts, enabling them to capture well-exposed and sharply focused images of moving subjects with an unprecedented degree of efficiency. The EOS-1D’s full-resolution, 4-million pixel images generate 12MB files, while an "imaging engine" processor generates both incredible shooting speed and rich tonal range with color accuracy. In addition, advanced technologies applied at both imaging engine and CCD filtration minimize "false colors".

The shutter is durability tested to 150,000 exposures, highest of any digital SLR. FEATURES 4.48-Megapixel CCD Imaging Sensor The heart of the EOS-1D's image quality is it’s CCD sensor. As pixels on a digital imaging sensor become larger, they become more sensitive to light. This means less digital noise, superior highlights and shadow tonalities, and a wider range of contrast is likely. The EOS-1D's 4.48 million pixel CCD sensor is a full 28.7 x 19.1mm in size—with square pixels a full 11.5 x 11.5 microns in size (nearly 12 times the pixel size of high-resolution consumer-type cameras with fixed lenses. PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO Imaging Engine However, there's more to image quality than just the imaging sensor. The data from the sensor must be processed and assembled to create a finished RGB file. The EOS-1D does this using an Imaging Engine, a sophisticated “chip” which produces incredible color accuracy, wide tonal range and detail while minimizing the effects of digital noise. The EOS-1D’s Imaging Engine is one of the keys not only to its excellent image quality, but also to its amazing speed and performance.

S HARPNESS AND C LARITY Color Matrix Function— Reduced Color Aberrations Like Choosing Different Types of Film Canon effectively eliminates the color aberrations inherent in digital cameras through a combination of optical and digital counter measures for unmatched image quality. Most digital cameras rely solely on optical low-pass filters that incidentally compromise image resolution. But Canon adds digital processing technology to its imaging engine that effectively reduces color abberations at the CCD’s true image resolution through an originally developed algorithm. This algorithm lowers dependence on the low-pass filter enabling sharper, more natural-looking images. It also clearly demonstrates that sheer number of pixels alone does not necessarily determine image quality The EOS-1D offers a unique Color Matrix function that lets you select different color characteristics as if you were choosing different types of film. There are five settings available to to cater to different shooting needs (can be applied to both JPEG and RAW EOS1D images): ➤ Color Matrix 1 (sRGB compatible; Natural coloring): Overall natural hues and saturation ➤ Color Matrix 2 (sRGB compatible; Natural skin color): Hues and saturation ideal for portraits, with natural skin color ➤ Color Matrix 3 (sRGB compatible; Vivid coloring): Hues and saturation similar to high saturation slide film. Ideal when vivid colors are desired ➤ Color Matrix 4 (Optimized for Adobe RGB 1998): Expanded Adobe RGB 1998 color space, a broad color spectrum with low saturation. Ideal when later fine saturation adjustment of profile conversion is planned. ➤ Color Matrix 5 (sRGB compatible): moderates hues and saturation. Ideal when later fine tuning of saturation is planned. Eliminate Long Exposure Noise The longer a digital imaging sensor is exposed, the greater the likelihood that it will generate digital “noise”, similar to “snow” on a TV with poor reception. Canon uses sophisticated technology to reduce or eliminate this noise and provide photographers the freedom to use long exposures where necessary. On any exposure longer than 1/15th of a second, the EOS-1D automatically activates its long exposure noise reduction by generating a second, blank image (with the shutter closed) at the same “shutter speed” used for the actual image. The noise generated in the blank image is then compared to the original, and that noise is removed from the actual file. When fast shooting is more important that noise reduction, a menu setting allows the shooter to turn off the noise reduction Custom Processing Parameters By altering parameters in the conversion process, you can “develop” your images however you like. Using the supplied TWAIN driver or plug-in for Macintosh, adjust gradation and contrast with tone curve controls, and minutely customize parameters like sharpness, JPEG image quality and white balance on your computer. Save up to three sets of these settings for different situations and apply them any time. You can also adjust the amount of JPEG compression in-camera. ORDER & INFO.

Focusing of this kind has the power to transform a simple snapshot into a precisely balanced image. However, the true benefits of 45-point focusing become more apparent when applied to more demanding situations. DIGITAL SLRs Adopting the EOS-1V’s capacity to capture moving subjects with the outstanding tracking performance and high focusing speed of 45-point Area AF, propels digital camera autofocusing into the new millennium. The 45 focusing points are densely packed and can be manually or automatically selected to meet the needs of the situation. When multiple points are selected, AF system capabilities are significantly extended, while the system has been refined to ensure the unconditional reliability, accuracy and high focusing speeds requisite for professional use. While photographers have the freedom to frame images through the viewfinder as they choose, the lens is automatically brought into focus as soon as the active focusing points cover the subject. Like a human eye, Canon’s 45-point Area AF tracks and aims true. CANON EOS-1D, continued Unprecedented Control of Image Quality 152 DIGITAL SLRs 10 White Balance Modes plus White Balance Bracketing All digital SLRs provide white balance control—but none provide this many options. The EOS-1D features ten white balance modes, from totally automatic control to precise dialing-in of the color temperature in Kelvin values, to give photographers unprecedented control. ➤ Auto—The EOS-1D’s auto white balance mode is unique because it reads data off the CCD sensor, as well as incident data through an external sensor on the front of the body. This “hybrid” white balance mode is ideal for shooting quickly in rapidly changing lighting conditions (approx. 3000-7000K color temperature). ➤ Daylight—For shooting outside on sunny days (approx. 7000K color temperature) ➤ Shade—Ideal for shooting outside in the shade on sunny days (approx. 7000K color temperature) ➤ Overcast—Ideal for shooting outside on cloudy days, at dusk, or at dawn (approx. 6000K color temperature) ➤ Tungsten—For shooting under incandescent light (3200K color temperature) Flexible ISO Speed Settings and Bracketing Function Unlike a film camera, a digital SLR’s imaging sensor’s ISO sensitivity can be altered freely from shot to shot. The EOS-1D provides a normal ISO range of 200-1600 in 1/3-stop increments, and a Custom Function expands this range between 100 and 3200. But the EOS-1D takes it even further. ISO speed bracketing allows the photographer to keep the same shutter speed and aperture settings, and have the camera alter the ISO sensitivity to vary the exposure. Finally, Custom Functions allow the user-set ISO speed to be displayed in the viewfinder. Folder Management Images on the CompactFlash card are stored in one master “DCIM” folder. Within this folder, you can create additional folders—up to 500 on a a single CF card—and assign images to any folder, with the ability to add new folders or change to a previous folder at any time. All this is done within camera using the menu controls. –Create up to 500 folders on the CompactFlash card in the camera –Protect or delete images on a folder-by folder basis –Assign images to any folder, prior to shooting –Rename folder using Canon driver software (connection to computer required) Optical Viewfinder The EOS-1D’s advanced optical technology assures superb-quality viewfinder images to give photographers essential framing support.

PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO LCD Monitor Optical Viewfinder LCD Monitor The EOS-1D is equipped with a high definition 2˝ LCD color monitor plays back images in single-image (with information and histogram), 4/9 images and 21 information items. ◆ These include date and time, shutter speed, aperture value, exposure compensation, and histogram of each picture, as well as overexposure warnings, etc. In addition, you can display the menu function screens to enable setting of red-eye reduction and AEB settings, and the custom function. ◆ The histogram display shows the overall brightness distribution of the subject. This allows you to judge the characteristics of image data not from the subjective impressions alone, but on the basis of their frequency distribution. If any portion of the captured image is over-exposed, the high-brightness alarm function indicates its scope by flickering. With the aid of the histogram, the exposure and lighting settings can be finely adjusted to produce images exactly as desired. EQUIPMENT LEASING AVAILABLE CANON EOS-1D, continued REDEFINING PERFORMANCE Active Mirror Control High-Speed Image Storage With a large buffer memory, the EOS-1D can fire up to 21 consecutive frames (at 8 fps) in its full-resolution, best-quality JPEG mode. That's four million pixels per image. Even more impressively, if capturing both RAW and JPEG images simultaneously, you can still fire bursts of up to 16 frames (at full resolution) at up to 8 fps. A viewfinder indicator is updated instantly to advise you of remaining frames in a burst. Interline Transfer CCD Responsiveness Shutter release time lag of just 55 ms. No digital SLR responds faster. A highly responsive viewfinder, courtesy of Canon's original Active Mirror Control method. One of the key hurdles to faster shooting speeds in an SLR was speed the mirror could move up and down, while stopping long enough between frames for an AF system to get updated information. Simultaneous Capture of RAW/JPEG Files ◆ Like the EOS-D60, the EOS-1D offers simultaneous image capture and sequential recording of JPEG and RAW image files. Users can concentrate on taking great pictures and later select the format that best suits their needs. Compact JPEG files are ideal when images need to be used in a hurry, or sent over the web. RAW files provide both the best image quality and added versatility when processing images in your computer. ◆ EOS-1D driver software provides a host of tools and controls that process RAW images files as they are converted into JPEGs or 8- or 16-bit TIFF files. Brightness and contrast, white balance (including a one-step "click" control), tonal curves, sharpness, and even Color Matrix -the color palette used- can be adjusted by the photographer while your original "digital negative", your RAW image file, remains unaltered. Processing a RAW image only creates a copy; it never alters the original file. 4.15 million pixel interline-transfer CCD makes continuous 8 fps operation possible. It also functions as its own shutter - interline transfer CCDs can be "turned on" and “turned off” electronically with incredible precision. This is how the EOS-1D is able to shoot at shutter speeds up to 1/16,000th of a second, and more important, sync with flash up to 1/500th of a second.

DIGITAL SLRs The EOS-1D like the EOS-1v incorporates Active Mirror Control to reduce mirror blackout - a major obstacle to ultra-highspeed continuous shooting performance. Replacing the conventional approach of suppressing mirror bound shock from the rear, the Active Mirror Control mechanically controls the mirror. It works by incorporating a hook on the backside of the main mirror. The hook is used to hold the mirror in place when it flips down, suppressing mirror “bounce,” a problem that degrades AF performance and viewfinder clarity during continuous shooting with conventional SLRs. In other words, this ground-breaking mechanism reduces mirror shake, confining it to a short duration and suppressing the shake immediately after it occurs. As a result, mirror blackout time is reduced to approximately 87ms, allowing photographers to see their subjects clearly through the viewfinder, even while shooting at maximum speed. And the finder image stabilizes quickly, even in continuous shooting mode, so you always has a clear and sharp viewfinder image. 8 Frames Per Second (fps) Shooting 8 fps - the fastest continuous shooting speed of any digital SLR camera. Until you experience the EOS-1D’s total performance in your hands, its specs are just numbers. It’s when you pick it up and feel its responsiveness…feel - but not hear it run through 21 consecutive frames 60% faster than any other competitive professional digital SLR that you know you’re in the presence of something truly special. CANON EOS-1D, continued 154 DIGITAL SLRs Sophisticated Exposure Control The EOS-1D lets you capture the light as you see it. Canon's exclusive AIM (Advanced Integrated Multi-Point control) system integrates Area AF and all six metering modes available with the EOS-1D. Focus on a subject within the Area AF ellipse, and the EOS-1D will meter that area for the optimum result where it's needed most. All six metering modes use the 21-zone evaluative metering sensor. Six metering modes, three flash metering modes capture your vision in all manner of lighting situations. Metering Modes Automatic and Manual Exposure Modes 21-Zone Evaluative Metering The EOS-1D offers a range of exposure choices with seven automatic exposure modes plus manual exposure and bulb. This gives you the freedom to shoot uniquely creative photos. Offers efficient coverage of the focus area by defining the active focusing point as the main subject and setting independent metering areas for each of 15 major focusing points within the Area AF ellipse. By considering a range of metered values from adjacent areas, clearly capture the subject, even with various brightness levels in the frame. Center-weighted Average Metering Meters the brightness of all zones and calculates exposure from this reading. Metering is weighted: the farther the area is from the center, the lower the sensitivity. Center Spot Metering Center spot metering mode covers only 2.4% of the central image area, allowing precise metering of a very small portion of the subject. Idea for achieving the correct exposure for a subject in setting with sharp contrasts in brightness. Multi-Spot Metering Express personal preferences for subtle detail in both bright and dark areas when shooting images with significant differences in brightness contrast. Up to eight spot readings can be registered. Focusing Point-Linked Spot Metering Linked spot metering not only allows accurate metering that is unaffected by background brightness plus offers a high level of freedom for choosing composition. Partial Metering at Center In this mode approx. 8.5% of the central image is metered. The metering area is exceptionally well-defined, which makes it easy to judge the ideal exposure setting based on the brightness balance between the subject and the background. Ideal for those who want to set exposure manually. PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO • Program AE, Manual Exposure • Shutter-speed and Aperture Priority • Depth of-field AE— this mode lets you manually select two focusing points for calculating the aperture value. This value is used for setting the depth of field at a level that ensures sharp focusing between the two points. Very helpful for portrait shots using a telephoto lens. • Bulb—essential for shooting night views, fireworks or for astronomical photography. It offers continual exposure for as long as the shutter button is fully depressed. Bulb exposure lapse time can be displayed on the large LCD pane for up to 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

However, because the CCD is smaller than the 24 X 36 mm image size of a 35mm film camera, the actual image recorded by the EOS-1D is 1.3x the indicated focal length of the lens. Therefore, the coverage with a 28mm lens is equivalent to 28mm X 1.3, or 36.4mm, approximately the same as that of a 35mm film camera with a 35mm lens. The EOS-1D can also use all EOS series accessories without modification. For example, the E-TTL autoflash- compatible hot shoe can accept Canon EOS-dedicated external flashes, including the 420EX and 550EX. DIGITAL SLRs ◆ You can record up to 30-second audio clips and attach it to each image. continued CANON EOS-1DS The Ultimate Camera For Professional Photographers The incredible quality of the EOS-1Ds starts at the imaging sensor. The 11.1-megapixel DIGITAL SLRs full-frame CMOS sensor delivers a maximum resolution of 4,064 x 2,704 pixels— almost double the resolution currently considered state-of-the-art by most professionals. The sensor also has an imaging area of 24 x 36mm, the same dimensions used by full-frame 35mm SLRs— so every EF-series lens will have the same effective coverage with the EOS-1Ds as it does with EOS-System 35mm film models. And to process the unprecedented file sizes, the EOS-1Ds’ imaging engine incorporates an advanced “chip” that processes and assembles image data captured by the sensor to achieve the same color accuracy and wide tonal range as regular film-based cameras. And even with almost twice the pixel resolution of previous pro cameras, the imaging engine still supports a 10-frame buffer memory at framing rates up to 3 fps! 156 Designed primarily for studio photographers, but ideal for a wide variety of professional and advanced amateur photographers as well, the EOS-1DS features an exceptionally strong magnesium alloy body, 45-point autofocus, 21-point evaluative metering, simultaneous RAW + JPEG recording, 10-mode White Balance and 5-mode Color Matrix selection. It also includes an ISO range of 100-1250 (plus ISO 50 via Custom Function control), high speed IEEE 1394 interface and auto-switching FAT16/FAT32 memory card formatting capability, a top shutter speed of 1/8000 second, X-sync speed of 1/250 second, 21 Custom Functions (with 67 settings), 26 Personal Functions, and extended battery life. The ultimate imaging device for pros, the EOS-1Ds is bundled with the latest software utilities, and is supported by the world’s largest selection of AF lenses and Canon’s sophisticated E-TTL auto flash system, including E-TTL wireless autoflash. The numbers are staggering: 11.1 million pixels. 3 fps for up to 10 consecutive frames in a burst. It’s digital like you’ve never seen before. 11.1-Megapixel CMOS Imager ◆ A full-frame CMOS sensor with an imaging area of 24 x 36mm, the same dimensions used by full-frame 35mm SLRs. It has 11.1 million effective pixels with a maximum resolution of 4,064 x 2,704 pixels. This is almost double the resolution currently considered state-of-the-art by most professionals. ◆ The EOS 10D showed the world how Canon-developed CMOS imaging sensors combine superb color, dynamic range, and low noise. Now, the EOS-1Ds almost doubles the D10’s resolution for a quantum leap in digital image quality. With the same Canon CMOS benefits. PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO 1:1 Focal Length & 3fps Shooting ◆ Finally, every EF lens will work the same on a digital SLR as it does on your 35mm film cameras, with the same coverage. It’s one less thing for the pro to think about on location, and it’s one more thing to ease the transition from film into digital. Even for wide-angle shooters. ◆ Today’s digital pros demand speed and responsiveness along with high quality, so Canon has developed new 2-channel reading to ensure that the EOS-1Ds delivers both. It doubles the reading speed and turns the dream of combining incredible 11.1 million pixel resolution with 3 fps shooting speeds into a reality.

EF lenses don’t use any mechanical links. Instead, about 50 items of information are exchanged as digital signals between the lens and camera in real time. This enables high-speed and precision control. Inner and Rear Focusing An inner focusing lens has the focusing lens group(s) in front of the diaphragm, while a rear focusing lens has the focusing lens group(s) behind. Both systems allow the focusing lens group to be small. This minimizes the load on the actuator which drives the autofocus. In turn, the AF speed is faster. The whole optical system can also be made more compact. And, since the lens doesn’t rotate during focusing, the effects of a circular polarizer or gel filter remain intact. Floating System Ordinary lenses (non-zoom) are designed to give the best results when the correction of aberrations is most effective. This is usually at the most commonly-used focusing distances. At other focusing distances especially at the closest focusing distance, aberrations tend to appear. Canon’s floating system suppresses aberrations at close focusing distances. The system adjusts the gap between certain lens elements in correspondence to the focusing distance, effectively correcting the aberration. The result is high image quality with aberrations suppressed at all focusing distances. Built-In Motor and EMD EF lenses have a built-in AF motor, as opposed to camera bodybased AF motors, for driving energy with lower transmission loss. The lenses also have an EMD (Electromagnetic Diaphragm) to electronically control the aperture with unmatched precision. The aperture can be set either with an electronic dial or with the electronic pulse signal sent according to the exposure reading. Full-Time Manual Focusing Canon EF lenses have very high AF precision. Optimum focus can be achieved quickly in almost any shooting situation. Most E lenses are also equipped with Canon’s full-time manual focusing mode to make picture-taking even more flexible. Lenses with this feature allow you to switch to manual focusing even in the AF mode—overriding the autofocus mode. You can keep looking through the viewfinder and touch up the focus manually without switching the focus mode switch. And since the focusing ring doesn’t rotate during auto focusing, Canon made it wider for easier manual focusing. Full time manual focusing comes in two types: Electronic manual focusing where the rotation amount of the focusing ring is detected and the focusing motor is driven electronically. Or, mechanical focusing, where the rotation of the focusing ring adjusts the focus mechanically. Whenever you have an image in mind, you must choose a lens which can put that image on film.And whatever that image may be, you can be sure that Canon has the lens you need. Whether it is a 15mm fisheye or a 1200mm super telephoto, all Canon lenses feature the finest materials (especially the L-series lenses) and technologies. They include fluorite, UD glass, aspherical lenses, lens-based Ultrasonic Motors, inner and rear focusing, Image Stabilizers, and a fully-electronic interface. ORDER & INFO.

Fast and quiet, USM has made EF lenses almost noiseless and autofocusing fast, precise and practical. The direct-drive construction is very simple, with no gear train. This makes it very durable and efficient. Two types of USM are used: Ring-type and micro. Ring-type is found in large-aperture and super telephoto lenses, while micro USM can be found in more compact lenses. DIGITAL SLRs EF lenses fuse state-of-the-art electronics with mechanical precision, and optical excellence. The fully electronic EF lens mount is unique among 35mm SLR cameras, operating silently with unmatched reliability due to the complete elimination of mechanical couplings. Every EF lens contains its own custom-designed autofocus motor and microprocessor. Many utilize Canon's exclusive Ultrasonic Motor (USM) technology. Canon is also a leader in the use of aspherical lens elements, flourite crystal, Ultra-low dispersion (UD) glass and other advanced optical technologies. Uniformly high optical performance results from the extensive use of exclusive Canon-developed manufacturing techniques in Canon’s own factories, the world's largest for 35mm cameras and lenses.

The result is different from a wide-angle of telephoto lens which is used for more expressive purposes. At the same time however, you can use standard lenses in creative ways by varying the subject distance, aperture, and angle. Canon offers three standard EF lenses each with a different maximum aperture. Portrait and Medium Telephoto Lenses A medium telephoto lens with a large aperture brings the subject closer, creates excellent background blur, gives a longer flash range, and affords a faster shutter speed to freeze the action. Best of all, they aren’t too heavy to carry around—even on a ski slope. Telephoto Lenses A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed. If you want a smaller more compact lens, choose a lens with a smaller maximum aperture. ORDER & INFO.

It can compress images and make them look as if they come from another dimension. It opens up new realms of photographic expression. All Canon EF super telephoto lenses are L-series to provide the highest quality, while the USM delivers quiet and high-speed autofocusing. EF 600mm f/4L IS USM • All except the 300/4L and 400/5.6L feature a fluorite lens element to correct chromatic aberrations. Fluorite has abnormally low refraction and low dispersion characteristics which optical glass can’t achieve. • All except the 300/4L and 400/5.6L are highly resistant to dust and water. Their switch panel, exterior seams, and drop-in filter compartments have rubber linings. • In addition to fluorite, they each incorporate two UD (UltraLow Dispersion) glass elements whose properties nearly match those of fluorite (the effect of two UD-glass elements is equivalent to one fluorite). The 400/5.6L has a Super UD-glass element which gives almost the same effect as one fluorite element. • All (except 400/5.6L) have a built-in Image Stabilizer because no matter how great the lens is, camera shake can spoil the shot. Optical shake is detected by gyro sensors which provide the data necessary to shift the image-stabilizing lens group in parallel to neutralize the shake. This increases usable shutter speed range by up to two full stops for handheld shooting. There are two IS modes: one for normal image stabilization, one for panned shots. • All except the 300/4L and 400/5.6L have an ‘AF Stop’ feature. If something passes between the camera and subject, the AF-Stop button momentarily locks the AF to prevent the focus from shifting to the obstruction passing by. After it is gone, the focus is maintained so you can quickly resume shooting.

The FinePix S2 Pro’s 6.17 million effective pixels is capable of producing an image file with 12.1 million (4,256 x 2,848) recorded pixels for pictures with stunning color and detail. Additionally, CCD RAW mode, allows professionals to experiment with their photographs as they see fit. The FinePix S2 Pro offers a dual media storage options: Smartmedia and IBM Microdrive as well as IEEE1394 and USB interface to speed the transfer of large files to a Mac or PC—resulting in increased workflow. A Nikon SLR-type design, the S2 Pro has a Nikon-F mount and accepts every AF Nikkor and most manual AI, AI-S Nikkor lenses. It has a high-speed shutter (30 to 1/4000 second), continuous shooting (2 fps up to seven frames), and sensi- 172 tivity up to ISO-equivalent 800 and 1600. For further flexibility, controls include four shooting modes (single frame, continuous, preview and multiple exposure), four exposure modes and nine white balance modes. 3rd-Generation Super CCD—The Heart of the FinePix S2 Pro Since gaps are wider on the perpendicular axes, a conventional CCD suffers from horizontal/vertical resolution that is lower than the resolution on the diagonals. The Super CCD has narrower intervals on the perpendicular axes, so vertical/horizontal resolution is higher than diagonal resolution. PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO The FinePix S2 Pro owes its exceptional imaging performance to the newly-developed 3rdGeneration Super CCD sensor. With 6.17-million pixels delivering an unprecedented 4256 x 2848 (12.1-million) recording pixels, the FinePix S2 Pro offers twice the image size of its predecessor (FinePix S1 Pro) and far more recording pixels than any other SLR digital camera available today. This two-fold improvement in resolution is only part of the story though. The Super CCD’s new sensor technology, together with a state-of-the-art image-processing algorithm LSI, reduces noise in both the luminance an chroma information in captured images. Apart from notably cleaner images, this makes possible an expanded range of ISO sensitivities for maximum shooting versatility. The same technology, in combination with the RAW format, also extends tonal range and improves color balance. Skin tones particularly benefit, and surface textures take on a tactile, three-dimensional reality. In short, image quality rivals that of film-based photography. Higher Sensitivity, S/N Ratio, Dynamic Range With octagonal photodiodes in a honeycomb pattern, the Super CCD minimizes space that doesn’t contribute to image capture, so light-collecting efficiency is much higher. This improves sensitivity, increases the S/N ratio and broadens the dynamic range. Higher horizontal/vertical resolution Based on extensive research into human vision, the Super CCD layout positions the pixels at a 45° angle in a honeycomb pattern. This raises horizontal/vertical resolution up to 60% higher than conventional CCDs. EQUIPMENT LEASING AVAILABLE Horizontal Skipped Readout No longer limited to the vertical axis, skipped readout is possible in both directions— a key to high-quality, full-motion video output. Single Electronic Shutter Since it needs only an electronic shutter, the Super CCD holds the potential for continuous shooting that’s extremely fast and precise. The key lies in one-step reading of all the pixels and a path structure wide enough for high-speed transmission of the electronic charge produced by the photodiodes. FUJI FINEPIX S2 PRO Intelligent Metering 6.17-Megapixel CCD ◆ 6.17-megapixel, 23.0 x 15.5mm super-sized ◆ 3rd-generation Super CCD allows the S2 Pro to deliver professional image quality with high resolution, linear tonality from highlights to shadows, well-balanced color reproduction, low noise in low-light, and without blur caused by camera shake. ◆ Records images at four resolutions (4256 High-Speed 5-Area Autofocus ◆ The FinePix S2 Pro incorporates five area AF sensors covering a wide area along both the horizontal and the vertical axis’. This generous autofocus coverage is ideal for fast, creative composition. Alternatively you can designate any of the five sensors as primary sensor, allowing highly effective action and sequence photography. Center-weighted Metering—the traditional metering mode, it concentrates the sensing area on the center of the viewfinder. Useful for shooting portraits and other center-dominant subjects. Spot Metering—gives you true pinpoint precision, ideal whenever you need exact exposure for a particular part of the scene. Control over Shooting Settings On the back of the FinePix S2 Pro, you will find an LCD monitor for checking the images you shot and a backlit LCD display for confirming and changing camera settings. 173 x 2848, 3024 x 2016, 2304 x 1536 and 1440 x 960) in JPEG (with two compression modes), TIFF and RAW file formats. The 12-bit “lossless’ RAW image file format stores images exactly as they come from CCD before processing by camera’s internal algorithms. Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering— In addition to reading scene brightness, the system analyzes the overall “atmosphere” of the frame by comparing the exposure information to its scene-condition database, including brightness, contrast, subject-to-camera distance and the selected focus area. The 10-segment 3D Matrix Metering is activated when using D or G-type Nikkor lenses. The result is automatic exposure control that is amazingly accurate. Backlit Dot Matrix LCD A backlit dot matrix LCD helps you check and change camera settings quickly. Using the function button you can set shutter speed, exposure, compensation value, aperture, exposure compensation, flash exposure compensation, auto exposure bracketing, bracketing bar graphs, custom flexible program, flash sync mode, AF area mode, focus area, battery power. ◆ The FinePix S2 Pro provides three AF modes and two AF area modes. You can choose from high-speed, accurate Single Servo AF (AF-S) and Continuous Servo AF (AF-C) modes, or fully mechanical manual focus mode. ◆ The two AF area modes (Single Area and Dynamic AF) provide tailor-made focusing for virtually any situation. Intelligent White Balance ◆ 9-position white balance control (Auto, Fine, Shade, Incandescent, three fluorescent, and two custom modes) ensures exemplary color balance even in the most difficult lighting situations. Color saturation, tone and sharpness settings are freely adjustable, letting you implement any visual idea as creatively as you wish. DIGITAL SLRs Super CCD image sensor with octagonalshaped photodiodes provides superior image sensing capability and ultra-high resolution images up to 12.1 million pixels (4256 x 2848 pixels). Gives you a choice of three TTL exposure modes to handle any lighting situation. Start Up Preview Set Up Playback LCD Monitor with Histogram 2˝ color LCD monitor is easy to see even outdoors. This monitor employs a lowtemperature polysilicon TFT that delivers high-resolution images with 200,000 pixels, and it can be used to playback and check images as soon as you shoot them. ◆ A playback zoom function allows enlargement of images for precise checking. There is a multi-image playback (4-and 9-frame) function for easily finding the shot you want, and Automatic Playback function that plays back all the shots you have taken. ◆ Displays a histogram (indicating the image’s brightness pattern, red, blue and green range) for checking images before you decide to save them. This enables on-the-spot confirmation of exposure, from highlights to shadows, and color range—hard to evaluate only from the image on the LCD monitor. ORDER & INFO.

Compatible with Fuji’s GX680III KODAK DCS PRO 14N 176 DIGITAL SLRs 14-Megapixel Full-Frame SLR for Portrait, Wedding, Event and Commercial Photographers Kodak's sixth-generation professional digital camera, the easy-to-use DCS Pro 14n digital SLR is designed and priced for professional portrait, wedding, event and commercial photographers, as well as advanced amateurs. Built on a Nikon lens mount, the camera is equipped with a 4536 x 3024 (13.7MP) effective pixel, 12-bit CMOS imager, covering the full 24x 36mm image area of 35mm film, allowing you to regain the benefits of true wide-angle lenses and use of Nikon 35mm SLR lenses. Plus, you have the freedom to select the image size (full 14MP, 6MP, and 3MP) that suits the shooting environment. Powered by a single rechargeable Li-Ion battery pack, the camera can capture 2fps up to eight frames in full-resolution mode. Images can be saved as DCR raw files or Kodak Extended Range Imaging (ERI) JPEG files. Images are stored on CompactFlash and/or SD/MMC memory cards. The camera can write to both, and the image can be sent to each card simultaneously in any of the available formats. The camera has two user modes: basic and advanced. The camera defaults to the basic setting and offers a very intuitive, simple interface. In the advanced mode, you can adjust many more capture, resolution and storage settings, among others. In addition, Kodak leverages Nikon's D-TTL (digital through the lens) flash metering in the DCS Pro 14n to offer near perfect flash exposures. The DCS Pro 14n uses cast magnesium encasements for a solid, rugged camera body. The robust body includes a vertical trigger that works in conjunction with an auto orientation sensor. The sensor detects the camera's orientation ±90° from the horizontal position. This enables automatic rotation of the image as it moves to a computer for manipulation, saving time and improving workflow. Finally, it includes the latest versions of Kodak Professional DCS Photo Desk and Camera Manager software, and is compatible with Kodak ProShots Studio Software Suite, an online image management and display tool that links the photographer to both client and lab in an effective digital workflow for film-based and digital camera images. FEATURES 14-Megapixel Full-Frame 35mm-size CMOS Sensor ◆ The highest resolution image sensor in a 35mm SLR camera, the DCS Pro 14n’s massive CMOS image sensor is packed with 13.85million (4560 x 3048) total pixels to deliver incredibly detailed images up to 41 MB (uncompressed TIFF). And since resolution is so high there is no need for an anti-aliasing filter. ◆ Unlike CCD image sensors which are charge-coupled devices that require very sophisticated and power-hungry electronics to operate, and due to the amount of support electronics they require, take up more space and power inside the camera—CMOS image sensors incorporate light-sensing technology that allows for charge conversion right inside the pixel, thereby dramatically reducing support electronics and power consumption. The small size of the DCS Pro 14n, even though it incorporates a 24 x 36mm sensor, was achieved through the use of CMOS sensor technology. PHOTO - VIDEO - PRO AUDIO ◆ The 24mm x 36mm full-frame CMOS image sensor is also equal in size to 35mm film. This gives the DCS Pro 14n a 1:1 focal length magnification—so there is no focal length magnification effect like you get with other digital SLR camera. You get the same true wide-angle and telephoto image as you would with film. Other advantages of this include a larger viewfinder area, metering system with less error and increased focusing precision. ◆ The DCS Pro 14n lets you save an image at 14, 6, or 3 megapixels. This allows you to control file size based on the requirements of a given shot or situation. It also speeds workflow by allowing for capture at lower resolution. Use 3- or 6-megapixels when you want to balance speed in your workflow; use 14-megapixels when you want to blow wide open the doors of artistic possibility. KODAK DCS PRO 14N F-Mount Compatible Fast and Accurate Autofocus Equipped with the venerable Nikon F-mount, the DCS Pro 14n is compatible with a full selection of AF Nikkor optics so there is no need to convert to new lenses. There's also no need to recalculate focal lengths, either, thanks to the full-frame, 35mm-size CMOS sensor. This includes Nikon’s AF-S Nikkors whose built-in Silent Wave Motors (SWM) offer near silent ultrafast auto-focus operation and innovative lenses such as Nikon’s VR Zoom-Nikkor 80-400mm f/4-5.6D. ◆ Single Area AF gives you five focusing positions to work with in the frame. Great when shooting carefully composed landscapes or portraits. ◆ Dynamic AF ensures accurate focusing, even if your subject moves from its original position after you’ve selected a focus area. You’ll never have trouble shooting moving subjects like animals, athletes, or children at play. focus continuously on a moving subject. Using a unique overlap servo method, the AF system focuses and drives the lens simultaneously, offering fast and accurate AF operation. Furthermore, with Lock-On AF, you can continue to track your main subject even if something momentarily blocks it. ◆ Large 2-inch (120,000 pixel) LCD provides improved contrast, increased viewing angle, a histogram and innovative features such 1:1 focus check and a spot densitometer (moveable Luminometer crosshairs). ◆ Using a four-position navigation switch you can scroll slowly around the image in a near-stepless fashion while the Luminometer calculates the brightness of the area under the crosshairs. The level is indicated in stops (-3 to 3.25) and RGB values. This is a critical for those who require precise control over all aspects of exposure and contrast. 177 ◆ Focus Tracking system enables you to LCD and TTL Optical Viewfinder ◆ The DCS Pro 14n also has a TTL (through the lens) optical viewfinder with diopter adjustment from -0.8 to +1.8. The viewfinder's image display shows the basic exposure settings, such as aperture and shutter speed, and any exposure compensation dialed in as well as various other camera settings, from metering mode to exposure mode. Exposure Metering Modes ◆ Offers three exposure metering modes: Nikon’s highly regarded 10-segment 3D Matrix Metering mode for intelligent image analysis, Center Weighted Metering and Spot Metering. ◆ Offers Program AE, Flexible Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual exposure modes with shutter speeds from 1/4000 to 30 seconds. ◆ Exposure compensation of ±3 EV is available in 1/2 EV increments and Auto Exposure Bracketing (three consecutive shots with varying exposures) let you see the effects of varying brightness. ◆ ISO is selectable from 80 to 640 in 1/3- stop increments at 14-megapixel resolution and 80-800 at 3- and 6-megapixel settings. ◆ Seven white balance modes including incandescent, florescent, direct sunlight, flash cloudy and shade with ±3 fine tuning settings and a manual mode. DIGITAL SLRs In photography, a moment’s hesitation could cost you the shot. That’s why the DCS Pro 14n incorporates Nikon’s FiveArea Dynamic Autofocus system — highly regarded for its responsive performance. Choose from high-speed, accurate Single Servo (S) AF and Continuous Servo (C) modes, as well as full manual focus mode. Built-in and External Flash Operation ◆ The DCS Pro 14n has a built-in flash with a Guide Number at ISO 100 of 12m (39´). The flash angle is wide enough to cover the field of view of a 28mm lens. With a CPU lens, the built-in Speedlight supports D-TTL flash control for flash photographs with a natural balance. You can use the built-in flash not only when natural lighting is inadequate, but to fill in shadows and backlit subjects or to add a catch light to your subject’s eyes. ◆ Three D-TTL Auto Flash modes are available: – 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash for Digital SLR – Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash for Digital SLR, – Standard TTL Flash for Digital SLR. ◆ Five flash sync modes are available: Front-Curtain Sync, Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync, Red-Eye Reduction, and Red-Eye Reduction with Slow Sync. ◆ If more lighting is needed, you can attach an optional Nikon Speedlight (for example the SB-50DX or SB-800AF) to the hot Shoe (flash sync speed is 1/125 second or slower when using an optional Speedlight, and available ISO is 80 - 800) ◆ You can also attach a cable from optional Speedlights directly into the PC sync terminal ORDER & INFO.

These GPS units can be attached to your file headers to capture coordinates with each image. There are two options for doing this: – You can put a Trimble GPS card into one of the slots in the camera. – You can plug an external GPS unit into the serial port of the camera. ◆ With the second option, once the GPS device is attached, you just take your pictures. The GPS coordinates are automatically collected and stored in the file header, just like the ISO setting, shutter speed, date, and time. When they're processed through the acquire module, the GPS coordinates are automatically written to the top 16 pixels of the file. ◆ The body includes a vertical trigger that works in conjunction with the camera’s auto orientation sensor. No photographer is perfect. At one time or another we’ve all incorrectly exposed a picture, accidentally deleted an image, or ended up with the wrong color balance. Equipped with Kodak’s Picture Protection the DCS Pro 14n offers you several functions that let you “rescue” images that might otherwise be lost. And you do it without losing data as you would during adjustments made in Photoshop on an acquired image. The DCS Pro 14n does this by creating and managing Kodak's innovative Extended Range Imaging (ERI) JPEG files. ERI-JPEGs are created by and stored in-camera on removable media for later color correction or manipulation, and provide two-stops of exposure latitude and extended color space within a JPEG workflow, a benefit no other camera offers. The ERI-JPEG format provides professional photographers ease-of-use of JPEG files with the image quality and color/exposure control of Kodak’s highly regarded DCR format raw camera files, to create the best quality images. Exposure Compensation: If you’re using another camera, you’re image is final, whether it is under-or overexposed. You could open it in Photoshop and make some adjustments, but you'd never really fix it. That's not the case here. What determines your scenes exposure? Four factors: light,shutter, aperture, and sensitivity. The first three are fixed in time: you can’t change them. To adjust the exposure, your only hope is to change the sensitivity. The DCS Pro 14n can capture the raw data of your image, and create a digital negative allowing you to go back and correct the exposure of the shot after it’s taken. Color Correction: Quickly moving from one lighting condition to another? Accidentally have your camera set for the wrong color temperature? Normally all you can get is a picture with severe color-cast, requiring a lot of retouching time to recover the correct colors. But now you can change the color settings after you have taken your shot, putting you into control of image conditions. Choose from calibrated daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, or flash color settings - each with the ability to set a custom white point—to correct the color before acquisition. Or for critical control of color, the cameras are ICC profile compliant—you can convert from the camera’s raw data to a known, calibrating color space of your choosing. Digital Negatives: Some cameras process process the data and turn it into finished files immediately. That may be fine for some shots, but it doesn't offer the flexibility that most professional photographers need.The DCS Pro 14n save the raw data from the sensor as a “digital negative”, giving you access to that raw information. Since you have the raw data, you can process this archive as many times as you need to. You can change exposure settings, color balance, and more—all without changing the raw data. It’s like shooting multiple rolls of film. ◆ The sensor detects the camera’s orienta- tion ±90° from the horizontal position. This enables automatic rotation of the image as it moves to a computer for manipulation, saving you time and improving workflow. ◆ Selectable NTSC/PAL video output for review. In NTSC mode, the color LCD and the video output are enabled simultaneously, a feature particularly useful for portrait photographers preparing set-ups. Using a TV/monitor, photographers can “play back” images captured during a shoot as a preview and potential sales opportunity with customers. Optional DCS Custom Looks Software The DCS Custom Looks software profiles mimic the looks of films and filters to meet your artistic needs and to simplify your workflow. In minutes, you can have repeatable, predictable color that could take you hours to create in other software programs - if you could do it at all. In the “Color Hold” profiles, skin colors are “held” in place while other colors are affected. This effect could take hours to produce; in Custom Looks, it's as easy as a click away. Starting with a Kodak DCR file as your master image, you can create the same effects as several films - black and white, high-contrast color, low-contrast color, plus the effects of filters. Using these new profiles, you can offer your clients more color tonal options, particularly when they are trying to match merchandise or flesh tones. By setting an option during the capture stage, you don't have to apply different color effects later in your workflow to meet their expectations. With the selection of profiles, you can sell the same image multiple times.
