The EF lens mount
The bayonet-style EF lens mount is at the center of the EOS camera system. The EF lens mount allows all the Canon EF lenses to be used on any of the Canon EOS line of Cameras made by Canon Inc Breaking compatibility with the earlier FD mount, it was designed with no mechanical linkages between moving parts in the lens and in the camera. The Canon FD Lens mount is a physical standard for connecting a Photographic lens to a Single-lens reflex Camera body The aperture and focus are controlled via electrical contacts, with motors in the lens itself. This was similar in many ways to Nikon's 1983 F3AF, although other manufacturers including Contax (with its G series of interchangeable-lens 35 mm rangefinder cameras) and Olympus (with its Four Thirds digital SLR system) have since embraced this type of direct drive system. ( also known as Nikon or Nikon Corp, is a Multinational corporation headquartered in Tokyo Japan specializing in Optics Contax was a Camera brand noted for its unique and sometimes odd technical innovation and a wide range of Zeiss lenses, noted for their high optical ( is a Japanese company specializing in Optics and Imaging.

EOS flash system
The flash system in the EOS cameras has gone through a number of evolutions since its first implementation. The EF 70-200mm lens is a telephoto zoom lens made by Canon Inc The EF 70-300mm lens is a telephoto zoom lens made by Canon Inc The EF 24-70mm f/28L is a professional EF mount wide -to- normal Zoom lens. The Canon EF14mm f/28L USM is an ultra wide-angle Prime lens. The EF 50mm lenses are a group of normal prime lenses made by Canon Inc Canon's 100/28 Macro USM for the EF mount replaces an earlier lens which possessed the same specifications but lacked the USM Autofocus motor The EF 85mm lenses are a group of medium telephoto prime lenses made by Canon Inc Canon currently manufactures three 400mm Prime lenses the EF 400mm f/2 Canon Inc 's EOS flash system — the Photographic flash mechanism used on Canon's EOS Single-lens reflex cameras whether 135 film A flash is a device used in Photography that produces an instantaneous flash of artificial Light The basic EOS flash system was actually developed not for the first EOS camera, but rather for the last high-end FD-mount manual-focus camera, the T90, launched in 1986. The Canon FD Lens mount is a physical standard for connecting a Photographic lens to a Single-lens reflex Camera body The Canon T90, introduced in 1986 was the top of the line in Canon 's T series of 35 mm Single-lens reflex (SLR Cameras This was the first Canon camera with through-the-lens (TTL) flash metering, although other brands had been metering that way for some time. Through-the-lens ( TTL) metering is a photographic term describing a feature of Cameras capable of measuring light levels in a scene It also introduced the A-TTL (Advanced TTL) system for better flash exposure in program mode, using infrared preflashes to gauge subject distance.
This system was carried over into the early EOS cameras wholesale. A-TTL largely fell out of favor, and was replaced by E-TTL (Evaluative TTL). This used a pre-flash for advanced metering, and used the autofocus system to judge where the main subject was for more accurate exposure. Autofocus (or AF) is a feature of some Optical systems that allows them to obtain (and in some systems to also continuously maintain correct focus on a E-TTL II, which was an enhancement in the camera's firmware only, replaced E-TTL from 2004. In Computing, firmware is a computer program that is Embedded in a hardware device for example a Microcontroller.
Canon Speedlite-brand flashes have evolved alongside the cameras. Canon Inc 's EOS flash system — the Photographic flash mechanism used on Canon's EOS Single-lens reflex cameras whether 135 film They are capable of wired and wireless multi-flash setups, the latter using visible or infrared pulses to synchronise.
EOS cameras
As of 2007, Canon has released no fewer than 40 EOS SLR camera models, starting with the introduction of the EOS 650 in 1987. The Speedlite 550EX is a flash made by Canon Inc for use with their EOS line of cameras. The Speedlite 430EX is an external flash made by Canon Inc for use with their EOS line of Cameras The Speedlite 430EX is Canon's current midrange Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. The Canon EOS series helped bring in the digital SLR age with the EOS DCS 3 in 1995, although it was a joint collaborative effort with Kodak. Eastman Kodak Company ( is an American multinational Public company which produces imaging and photographic materials and equipment The first digital EOS SLR camera wholly designed and manufactured by Canon is the EOS D30, released in 2000.
Canon has also released two EOS cameras designed to use the APS film format, the EOS IX and the EOS IX Lite. Advanced Photo System ( APS) is a Film format for still Photography. The EOS IX (world markets or EOS IX E (Japanese market is an APS -format Single-lens reflex camera that was introduced by Canon Inc
There is also a manual-focus EOS camera, the EOS EF-M. It comes with all the automatic and manual exposure functions but lacks autofocus. However, it comes equipped with a split-screen/microprism focusing screen for precise manual focusing. A focusing screen is a flat translucent material usually Ground glass, found in a System camera that allows the user of the camera to preview the framed image
Eye-controlled focusing
Through the tracking of eyeball movements, EOS cameras equipped with eye-controlled focusing (ECF) are able to choose the appropriate autofocus point based on where the user is looking in the viewfinder frame. ECF comes especially useful in sports photography where the subject may shift its position in the frame rapidly.
ECF is a function that is usually either loved or hated. Some users feel that it is not reliable enough for common use. Others report that they are able to use it reliably. Much of this depends on the user. Eyeglasses can also reduce its accuracy for some.
EOS cameras equipped with ECF are the EOS A2E (U. S. model names are shown; see the table below for equivalents in other countries), EOS Elan IIE, EOS-3, EOS Elan 7E, and EOS Elan 7NE. The Canon EOS-3 is a semiprofessional 35mm film Single-lens reflex camera built by Canon of Japan. The Canon EOS 30/33 (also known as the EOS Elan 7/7e) is a Single-lens reflex film camera from Canon 's EOS series released in October 2000 The EOS 30V / ELAN 7NE / ELAN 7s (European / North American / Japanese product names and the EOS 33V / ELAN 7N (Europe / North America are 35 mm film Single-lens
Quick control dial
Most prosumer and professional level EOS cameras feature a large quick control dial (QCD) on the camera back. Allowing easy operation of the camera using the thumb, the QCD is used for quick access to often-used functions that may otherwise require a more complicated procedure of button-presses and dial-clicks.
Cameras equipped with the QCD can easily be operated with one hand (forefinger on the main dial, thumb on the QCD) without taking the eye off the viewfinder.
Some useful functions that a QCD is programmed to do include setting exposure compensation, setting of aperture in manual exposure mode and scrolling of images and menus in digital EOS cameras.
Multi-point autofocus system
The top-line EOS cameras have up to 45 autofocus (AF) points, the most in their class, until superseded by Nikon's D3 and D300 digital SLR cameras with 51 autofocus points. This increases the chances of a sharply-focused photograph in situations where the subject travels across the frame at high speeds, e. g. sports, birds. The number, type, features and performance of autofocus point array systems is likely to continue to evolve.
Having so many AF points also helps relieve the photographer from having to use the 'lock focus and recompose' method of framing a photograph, since the subject will most probably have been picked up by one or more of the AF points. Even though the camera is intelligent enough to select the correct AF point(s) most of the time, EOS cameras equipped with a multi-point AF system will still allow the photographer to manually select an AF point.
EOS-3, EOS-1v, and the EOS-1D family feature a 45-point AF system, while most other EOS cameras in the last 3-5 years feature a seven-point AF system arranged in the shape of a cross. The Canon EOS-1v is a 35mm Single-lens reflex camera from Canon 's EOS series released in 2000 The EOS 20D and, later, the Rebel XTi (400D) feature a nine-point AF system in a diamond-shape formation. The Canon EOS 20D is an 82- Megapixel semi-professional Digital single-lens reflex camera, initially announced on August 19 Article Starts Here -->The EOS 400D, called Digital Rebel XTi in North America and EOS Kiss Digital X in Japan, is an entry-level The EOS 5D takes this 9-point AF system a step further by introducing six more 'invisible' AF points (i. The EOS 5D is a 128 Megapixel Digital single-lens reflex (DSLR camera body produced by Canon. e. not user-selectable) in helping the camera acquire focus faster during subject tracking.
For the earlier generation of 45-point AF system, the central column of 1 or 2 sensors (7 in all up to EOS-1Ds Mk II, EOS-1D Mk II N) are cross-type sensors, which offer a high degree of accuracy. The EOS-1Ds Mark II is a digital SLR camera body by Canon Inc The EOS 1D Mark II is a professional 82 Megapixel Digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR camera body produced by Canon. The latest announced EOS-1D Mk III has 19 cross-type sensors for higher accuracy, as well as placing the cross-type sensors to complement the Rule of Thirds. The EOS 1D Mark III is a professional 101 Megapixel Digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR camera body produced by Canon. The rule of thirds is a compositional Rule of thumb in Photography and other visual arts such as Painting and Design.
Model naming scheme
Canon's naming scheme for its EOS cameras is not straightforward, and thus the target market segment of a particular camera is not immediately obvious to a new EOS consumer. The fact that a model is marketed with different names in different parts of the world adds to the confusion. For example, the EOS Rebel 2000 known in the Americas is also known as EOS Kiss III in Japan, and EOS 300 in other parts of the world. The Canon EOS 300 ( EOS Kiss III in Japan EOS Rebel 2000 in North Americais a consumer-level 35mm Single-lens reflex Camera, produced
Canon uses a hyphen for the top-end cameras but not for lower end cameras: compare EOS-1Ds and EOS 10D. The EOS-1Ds is a full-frame Digital SLR camera body formerly made by Canon, released in the spring of 2003. The Canon EOS 10D is a discontinued 63- Megapixel semi-professional digital SLR Camera, initially announced on February EOS-1 is printed on the cameras as if it were a separate camera range with the type separated, so EOS-1 is separated from Ds. However there is no space between the two when the name is written in a standard font, thus EOS-1Ds. Across the different regions within Canon there appears to be some confusion on the application of this rule: compare EOS-3 at Canon USA[1] to EOS 3 at Canon Europe[2]. On these cameras the EOS badge is clearly separate from the 3 badge which would imply that no hyphen should be used but Canon often refer to it as the EOS-3 on their own site.
The following table summarises which market segment a particular EOS name is targeted at.
