Canon EOS 30D Information

EOS 30D Speed and image quality
The EOS 30D features Canon's award winning CMOS sensor technology, with large 6.4µm2 pixels for wide dynamic range with low noise. Any remaining fixed pattern and random noise is dealt with by on-chip noise-elimination circuitry. A low-pass filter in front of the sensor reduces false color and moiré effects, while an infrared filter suppresses red fringing caused by sensor reflections and fog. The EOS 30D features Canon's DIGIC II processor now found across the digital EOS range. DIGIC II maximizes speed and image quality by processing uncompromisingly complex color rendition algorithms, clearing the buffer at high speed, brilliant for taking the Perfect picture.

Sharp, fast focus
The EOS 30D has a high-precision, 9-point wide area AF system that uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually-selected using the 30D's intuitive, thumb-operated multi-controller.

EOS 30D - A new level of clarity
The EOS 30D has a brilliant 2.5-inch LCD display with approximately 230,000 pixels. Adopted from Canon's professional EOS SLRs, this display not only displays more information, it can also be viewed at a greater angle of 170 degrees. The full shot information screen not only provides an RGB histogram, it can display the AF frame used. Magnification has never been faster. Magnification zooms to the focus point rather than the center of the image to check exposure and critical focus. It is also simple to jump quickly in image intervals up to 100. Menus are accessed at the touch of a button and feature larger text that is easier to read. Whether changing color parameters, setting up custom functions, organizing folders or setting white balance, the EOS 30D helps photographers get to their information quickly, so they never miss a shot again.

The EOS 30D is one of the fastest cameras Canon has produced, each and every function has been optimized for fast RAW JPEG capture. Incorporating the fast operation of the EOS 20D, the EOS 30D allows users to specify high speed 5 frames per second (fps) or a new low-speed 3 fps continuous shooting feature for more controlled shooting and to save space on the CF card. The Canon EOS 30D can capture up to 30 JPEG and 11 RAW files in one burst. Whether it's the 0.15-second startup time, the high-speed mirror drive, the nearly instant 65-millisecond shutter release lag time or the predictive AF focusing at speeds up to 5.0 frames per second, the EOS 30D will amaze and delight photographers without a doubt every time.

Direct printing with PictBridge
The EOS 30D lets you print your stunning photos with minimum time and effort directly from the camera. It's compatible with Canon's SELPHY Compact Photo Printers, desktop PIXMA Photo Printers, and even third-party PictBridge-compatible printers.

EOS 30D - The system
One of the EOS 30D's greatest advantages is the EOS system: compatibility with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses, EX-series Speedlites, and EOS accessories such as the Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E1. For high-speed processing of RAW images and complete capture-to-print workflow management, the EOS 30D also comes with Canon's latest Digital Photo Professional software.

EOS 30D Battery grip
To extend the 750-shot battery life and increase handling options on the EOS 30D, the camera is compatible with the BG-E2 battery grip. The BG-E2 takes two Lithium-Ion battery packs for up to 2,200 frames or six AA batteries in the supplied BGM-E2 battery magazine. For easy and effective vertical shooting, the BG-E2 provides additional shutter release, main dial, AE lock/FE lock, and AF point selection controls.

Picture Style
With the EOS 30D picture styles photographers have control over sharpness, contrast, colour tone, and saturation for each of their pictures. The camera's factory default configuration is set to deliver immediately-usable JPEG images without need for additional menu settings. Picture Style pre-sets applied to a RAW image do not degrade the image in any way and can be revised with Canon's Digital Photo Professional software.

The six EOS 30D pre-sets include:
# Standard: for crisp, vivid images that don't require post-processing
# Portrait: optimizes colour tone and saturation and weakens sharpening to achieve attractive skin tones
# Landscape: for punchier greens and blues with stronger sharpening to give a crisp edge to mountain, tree, and building outlines
# Neutral: ideal for post-processing
# Faithful: adjusts colour to match the subject colour when shot under a colour temperature of 5200K
# Monochrome: for black and white shooting with a range of filter effects (yellow, orange, red, and green) and toning effects (sepia, blue, purple, and green)
