The Power & The Passion.
Get ready for more At Canon, we believe that to be worthy of carrying the EOS name, a camera must produce nothing short of the very finest possible image quality. It must be thrilling to handle – aggressively fast, delightfully intuitive and reassuringly comfortable. And finally, because so many great shots offer themselves only once, it must be unfailingly reliable. The Canon EOS 40D and EOS 450D let you capture images that reflect your passion for photography.
Welcome to control On the top of both cameras you’ll find the Mode Dial. With a mode for every situation and experience level, it is the fast lane to honing your craft. In whichever mode you shoot, hit the Info button during playback to learn what works – and what doesn’t – from the full report of camera settings, which even graphs your exposure with a histogram. BASIC ZONE MODES FULL AUTOMATIC SPORTS With the exception of image quality, all exposure decisions are taken by the camera.
CAMERA USER SETTINGS BETTER ISO CONTROL, LESS SHAKE Available on the EOS 40D and popular amongst working photographers, these positions allow quick recall of three complete camera setups. Every setting is stored: menu options, ISO, custom settings, Exposure Compensation, White Balance, Picture Style parameters and more. This is useful when shooting events with multiple lighting conditions, such as inside and outside the church at a wedding.

Action Capture fast-moving subjects effortlessly with the EOS 40D and EOS 450D. Both cameras feature lightning-fast shutter responses, dynamic operability and start-up times that let you start shooting before the camera reaches your eye. FREEZE THE ACTION Canon’s EX-Series Speedlites combine ultra-rapid refresh rates and long-distance reach; the perfect addition to your kit when shooting fast-paced action. The EOS E-TTL II system takes into account lens focus distance information for consistent exposures.
Wildlife Few subjects are as unpredictable as wildlife. Fast reactions are essential, and opportunities for great shots rare. EOS technology gives you the upper hand when capturing split-second encounters with the natural world. GETTING CLOSE Lightweight enough to take into the field, the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is the perfect wildlife telephoto. EF and EF-S lenses keep Image Stabilization (IS) where it belongs – in the lens.

People Harness the power of the EOS system to take spellbinding portraits. Canon’s own-brand technologies give you superior reproduction of every fine detail, capturing the complexity of skin tones with total accuracy and offering numerous options for creative customisation. FINE LIGHTING, GREAT PORTRAITS Create a sparkle in your subject’s eye by extending the catchlight reflector on your Speedlite 580EX II in the vertical bounce position.

For the subtlest tonal gradations, the larger pixel sites of the EOS 40D CMOS sensor produce a wide dynamic range.
© Jeroen van Amelsvoort Landscapes Shoot outdoors without compromise, no matter where you go. Light and compact, the EOS 450D is the definitive travel camera, while the rugged magnesium alloy body of the EOS 40D gives you the confidence to carry on shooting in every situation. KEEPING IT CLEAN To keep your CMOS sensor pristine, Canon’s Integrated Cleaning System combats external and internally-generated dust in three separate ways – Reducing, Repelling and Removing.
TAKE A WIDER VIEW The giant 3.0” LCD gracing both cameras makes for more enjoyable review and easier, more accurate checks for sharpness and composition. Used with Live View mode, it helps frame landscape shots when using a tripod, or shooting from angles where viewfinder use is impractical. And no matter how low, high or wide your camera is mounted, an ultra-wide viewing angle makes composition and review a breeze.

Macro Macro photography celebrates the things that it’s all too easy to miss. With the EOS system’s dedicated range of macro lenses and accessories, you can customise your set-up to capture even the tiniest subjects – in breathtaking, perfectly-lit detail. KEEP STILL Vibrations from the movement of an SLR camera’s mirror can result in image blur, particularly during macro shooting. To avoid this, both the EOS 450D and EOS 40D feature a mirror lock function, to secure the mirror before firing the shutter.
After the Shoot From processing to printing, give your shots the best treatment possible. Canon’s dedicated software and photo printers provide an unbroken chain of EOS quality imaging. From camera to print in seconds Canon’s PIXMA printers deliver vibrant, photo lab quality prints in sizes up to A3, which use ChromaLife100 technology to stay guarded against fading for up to 100 years*. Direct printing via PictBridge means you don’t even need to switch on your computer to get started.
