histogram is switchable on the menu
from RGB to Brightness. The image on
the rear display can be magnified from
1.5 to 10x in 15 steps and scrolled left
or right, up or down while magnified.
Image rotation may be accomplished
manually by a menu selection, or
automatically during playback but not
during image preview. The Video Out
terminal permits menu-selectable NTSC
or PAL display.
POWER SOURCE
Standard power is from one NP-E3 nickel
metal hydride (NiMH) pack. Its NC-E2
charger is included with the camera kit.
The DC Coupler Kit, DCK-E1, permits the
camera to run on AC. There is a CR2025
backup button-type battery. Power saving
(auto power off) can be set for 1, 2, 4,
8, 15 or 30 minutes.
RECORDING MEDIA DRIVE
There is one slot each for the CF and
the SD memory cards. The red LED
memory card access lamp blinks. Error
warnings are displayed on the top LCD
panel, in the viewfinder and on the LCD
monitor. The shutter release locks.
A menu setting permits separate
card formatting.
RECORDING SYSTEM
The camera accommodates CF and SD
memory cards. It provides five choices
for image size: JPEGs of 8.2, 6.4, 4.3
and 2.0 megapixels and RAW at 8.2
megapixels. Ten levels of quality are
selectable for each JPEG image size.
RAW and JPEG can be recorded
simultaneously. The recording formats
conform to DCF 2.0 and Exif 2.21. There
are three choices for file numbering:
sequential, auto and manual. Three
sets of processing parameters are
controllable by the user: Tone Curve
(3 choices), Sharpness Level (5 choices)
and Contrast (5 choices). The Back-up
mode, which is menu-controlled,
records the same image on both the
CF and the SD memory cards.
SHUTTER
The EOS-1D Mark II has a vertical-travel,
mechanical focal-plane shutter with all
speeds from 30 seconds to 1/8000
electronically controlled. The maximum
flash synchronization speed is
1/250. Lag time on the soft touch,
electromagnetic release shutter is 55ms
when stopping down three stops or less.
At maximum aperture, the lag can be
reduced to 40ms. Noise reduction is
applied to shutter speeds from 1
second to bulb. The self-timer allows
2 or 10 second delays. There is no
camera shake warning.
VIEWFINDER
The viewfinder has interchangeable
screens and dioptric adjustment from
–3.0 to +1.0 diopters. It has 100%
coverage. The viewfinder blackout time
is 87ms for shutter speeds 1/60 and
higher. There is no mirror cut-off for EF
lenses up to 1200mm. There is a
depth-of-field preview, a mirror lock-up
function and an eyepiece shutter.
WHITE BALANCE
White Balance is indicated on the rear
LCD panel. There are ten separate
settings: Auto (approx. 3000-7000 K),
Daylight (approx. 5200 K), Shade
(approx. 7000 K), Cloudy (approx.
6000 K), Tungsten light (approx.
3200 K), Fluorescent (approx. 4000 K),
Flash (approx. 6000 K), Manual (settable
by calibration standard from 2000-
10000 K), Color temperature (set Kelvin
value from 2800-10000 manually) and
PC-1 to PC-3, allowing registration of up
to three color temperatures with
dedicated software.
White balance bracketing permits
capture of three frames with one press
of the shutter button. Bracketing can
be up to +/- 3 levels of blue/amber or
magenta/green. White balance
compensation has nine levels of
adjustment for blue/amber and
magenta/green.

DESIGN OVERVIEW
AUDIO RECORDING
Sound recorded with the built-in
microphone for a maximum of 30
seconds is attached to the respective
image in WAV format.
AUTOFOCUS
The EOS-1D Mark II has a 45-point Area
AF. Manual selection of 45, 11 or 9 AF
points is possible. The 7 vertical AF
points at the center are cross-type sensors
that are also vertical-line sensitive up to
f/2.8. There are three autofocus modes:
One-Shot AF, which stops and locks
when focus is achieved, Predictive AI
Servo AF, which constantly tracks subject
movement and focuses until the start of
exposure, and Manual focusing, which
hasfocus confirmation from the in-focus
indicator light and the superimposed AF
point. EX-speedlites that have built-in
AF-assist emit a near-infrared beam
when necessary to assist autofocus.
BODY AND EXTERIOR
The body, the memory card slot cover
and the top, front and rear covers are
all magnesium alloy.
CAMERA TYPE
The EOS-1D Mark II is a digital autofocus,
autoexposure camera. It is compatible
with all Canon EF lenses (except EF-S
lens). The lens focal length conversion
factor is 1.3x.
COLOR MATRIX
There are five types of pre-set color
matrixes: Standard, Portrait, High
Saturation, Adobe RGB and Low
Saturation. The color space for 1, 2, 3
and 5 is sRGB. Additionally, there are
two matrixes that can be set by the user
for color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB),
color saturation (5 levels) and color tone
(5 levels).
CUSTOMIZATION
There are 21 Custom Functions with 67
settings with the camera alone. The
Personal Functions add 27 additional
settings. The camera settings can be
saved on a memory card and then
transferred to another camera or saved
and reinstalled after servicing.
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
The EOS-1D Mark II is 156mm/6.1 in.
wide, 157.6mm/6.2 in. high and
79.9mm/3.1 in. deep. It weighs
approximately 1220 grams, or
43 ounces excluding the Ni-MH battery
pack, memory cards and backup
battery which weigh approximately
335g/11.8 oz. together.
DIRECT PRINTING:
DIRECT PHOTO AND PICTBRIDGE
Dedicated cables are used to connect
the camera to Canon Direct Photo
Printers, Card Photo Printers and
PictBridge-compatible printers.
By operating camera controls, paper
sizesare selected and JPEG images
(Large/Medium/Small) can be printed
singly or in batches. There are 8
available steps of horizontal
cropping and 5 vertical steps.
DRIVE SYSTEM
There are five drive modes: single,
approximately 3 fps, approximately
8.5 fps, 10-second self-timer and
2-second self-timer. During continuous
shooting, images are stored in the
DDR-SDRAM buffer memory. When the
buffer becomes full, further shooting
is disabled until at least one frame
becomes available. At shutter speeds
of 1/250 or faster, the EOS-1D Mark II
can fire bursts at 8.5 fps up to 40 JPEGs
or 20 RAW frames. After the image is
captured, the image review can be set to
OFF, ON, or ON (INFO). The review time
can be set to 2, 4 or 8 seconds or Hold.
EXPOSURE CONTROL
The EOS-1D Mark II has a 21-zone
silicon photocell that handles maximum
aperture TTL metering. There are four
selectable metering modes: Evaluative,
which is linkable to any AF point, Partial,
which meters approximately 13.5% of
the screen, Center spot metering, which
reads approximately 3.8% of the screen
and has variations of AF point-linked or
multi-spot metering, and Center-weighted
average metering. The Mark II has
seven shooting modes: Shutter-priority
AE, Aperture-priority AE, Program AE,
either Evaluative or Averaged E-TTL II
program autoflash (21-zone flash
metering), Manual exposure, Flash
metered manual or Bulb. The metering
range is from EV 0 to EV 20 and the ISO
range is from 100 to 1600 with 50 and
3200 menu selectable. In addition to
manual exposure compensation,
autoexposure bracketing, AEB, is
possible +/- 3 stops in 1/3 or 1/2 stop
increments. AE Lock works in AE lock
can be set automatically or manually
in AE modes.
EXTERNAL INTERFACES
The EOS-1D Mark II has a 4-pin
IEEE1394/FireWire
™
port, a camera
direct Type B USB port, an NTSC/PAL
video OUT terminal, a type N3 remote
control terminal, and a PC terminal for
non-dedicated external flash units.
FLASH SPECIFICATIONS
Flash sync is provided from the side
PC terminal and the newly strengthened
hot shoe. A locking pin in the hot shoe
prevents Speedlite slippage. The two
connections can be used simultaneously.
Hot shoe mounted flash units can sync
at 1/250 or slower. Studio flash can
sync at 1/125 or slower. E-TTL is
enabled with EX-series Speedlites.
Flash exposure compensation can be set
manually +/- 3 stops. Flash exposure
bracketing, FEB, can be accomplished
with the 550EX, MR-14EX and MT-24EX
Speedlites. During FEB continuous
shooting, the shutter release locks when
the flash becomes unable to fire. The
three Speedlites mentioned, plus the
420EX and the ST-E2 can be operated
wirelessly. Three slave groups can be
controlled, a flash ratio can be set and
FEB can be set according to the flash
ratio. The 420EX can function only as a
slave, and the MR-14EX and MT-24EX can
function only as master units.
IMAGE PROTECTION/ERASE
Single image, all images in a folder
or all images in a memory card can be
protected or unprotected. Single image,
all images in a folder or all images in a
memory card can be erased if they are
not protected. Any protected images
cannot be erased with the camera.
