• The Canon EOS-1D Mark II is the
fastest, highest performance digital SLR
ever offered. Its 8.2 megapixel sensor
can fire at 8.5 frames per second
thanks to the amazing speed of the new
DIGIC II Imaging Processor. At maximum
resolution, it has a burst rate of 40 JPEG
or 20 RAW consecutive frames.
• The EOS-1D Mark II is fully compatible
with virtually the entire Canon EOS
system, including EF lenses and nearly
all EOS System accessories.
• The new E-TTL II algorithm system
compares ambient light with subject
location and reflectance, along with
distance information from most EF
lenses, to give the most accurate
flash metering ever.
• Dual memory card slots allow for
simultaneous backup or individual
recording. RAW and JPEG images can
be recorded simultaneously.
• The EOS-1D Mark II is fully customizable.
It has 21 Custom Functions with 67
settings and 27 Personal Functions.
• The new software package, including
new Digital Photo Professional, gives
ultra-fast RAW file viewing, control
and workflow.
• RGB histograms provide full color
information.
• The EOS-1D Mark II has 45 densely
packed autofocus points, 2 new RISC
microprocessors and an entirely new
AF calculation processfor faster, more
accurate predictive AF.
• The EOS-1D Mark II is built for the
tough conditions pros face on the job.
The magnesium alloy body is fully
sealed and gasketed for weather and
dust resistance. All grip surfaces are
covered with rubber for excellent grip
and holding ease, including the
vertical shooting controls. The new,
rugged shutter is tested to 200,000
cycles. And the flash accessory mount
shoe has been strengthened.
• The new, Canon-designed and
manufactured CMOS sensor has 8.2
megapixels, 3520 horizontal by 2342
vertical – enough for very large prints
with very fine detail.
• The CMOS sensor is a design which
haslow power consumption for longer
battery life and less noise.
• The high performance DIGIC II Imaging
Processor, all on one board, has the
world’s first DDR-SDRAM (Double Data
Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random
Access Memory) in a digital camera.
DIGIC II reads 8 channels at a time
(instead of the usual 2), greatly
increasing the speed of data transfer
and writing to the memory card.
• Seven sets of color matrixes, new
auto white balance, white balance
compensation and white balance
bracketing mean complete control
of color.
• The EOS-1D Mark II uses multiple
strategies for highly effective noise
reduction, particularly on
longer exposures.
• The EOS-1D Mark II has incredibly fast
and responsive handling: 500ms
startup, 55ms release time lag
(reducible to 40ms) and finder
blackout of only 87ms.
• The high resolution LCD display has
230,000 pixels for superb sharpness.
The display, which includes vertical
shot rotation, is scrollable and has
a maximum magnification of 10x,
settable in 15 steps.
• As befits a true professional camera,
the EOS-1D Mark II has multiple
methods to prevent data loss
and erasure.
• Personal camera settings can be
saved to the memory cards.
• New video out makes group
displayeasy.
• The EOS-1D Mark II can print directly
to Direct Photo Printers, Card Photo
Printers and PictBridge-supported
Printers.
• New file formats and compatibility
mean higher performance. The EOS-1D
Mark II is compatible with Adobe
RGB-supported DCF 2.0, Exif 2.21,
and IPTC. The new Canon RAW format,
CR2, includes more metadata.
•The new, optional DVK-E2 Data
Verification Kit permits verification of
original, untampered image data.

EX-SERIES SPEEDLITE COMPATIBILITY
EOS-1D Mark II is compatible with Canon’s entire line of EX-series
Speedlites (550EX, 420EX and 220EX) plus Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX
and Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX for close-ups. An unlimited number of
550EX and/or 420EX flashes can be linked together wirelessly with
the optional Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 or Speedlite 550EX.

DIRECT PRINTING
The EOS-1D Mark II can print directly to a Canon Card Photo Printer, Canon Direct Photo
Printer, or to a non-Canon, PictBridge-compatible printer. With DPOF (Digital Print Order
Format), you can specify which images in the memory cards are to be printed and in what
quantity. This feature is very convenient when you make prints with a DPOF-compatible
printer or photo lab. In direct printing, you can simply print the images specified with DPOF.
The camera also supports Exif Print. Thisworldwide standard for higher quality digital photos
records camera settings and shooting conditions right in the JPEG file created with each shot.
Then the camera’s own software communicates with an Exif-enabled printer to adjust
parameters based on the individualized information embedded in each image, optimizing
the printed image based on the photographer’s original intent. The EOS-1D Mark II supports
the latest version of Exif (2.21) which adds Adobe RGB to Exif’s color space information.
EF LENS COMPATIBILITY
The EOS-1D Mark II is compatible with over 50 Canon EF lenses. Its 28.7 x 19.1mm sensor
yields a lens magnification factor of 1.3x. The 1D Mark II user will have access to a unique
array of state-of-the-art optics. The fully electronic EF lens mount operates silently with
unmatched reliability because it completely eliminates all mechanical couplings. Every EF lens
contains its own custom-designed autofocus motor and microprocessor.
The lenses also have an electromagnetic diaphragm
(EMD) to control the aperture electronically with
unmatched precision. Many utilize Canon’s exclusive
Ultrasonic Motor (USM) technology, fluorite and ultra-low
dispersion glass, Aspherical elements, inner and
rear focusing, image stabilizers, and/or floating
elements to suppress aberrations at close
focusing distances. Many Canon pro lenses,
including the top-of-the-line L-series, are
highly resistant to dust and water.
