close-ups. This feature is perfect when the cho-
sen subject is in a crowd, like a specific athlete,
when it’s impossible to get close to the action.
Recorded as a VGA movie, Movie Crop shots are
perfect for emailing, posting online, or editing
into other movie clips.
Sound Recording Level Adjustment
To ensure the best possible recording of sound,
a number of EOS DSLRs offer a host of user-
controlled sound recording adjustments. The
manual sound recording level can be adjusted to
one of 64 levels, and an optional wind filter can
minimize unwanted excess sounds. Whether
shooting through an external microphone (on
certain EOS models) or through the camera’s
internal mic, this important feature means more
audible voices, less unwanted noise, and better
overall sound.
Fisheye lenses impart an
extraordinary perspective and
angle-of-view far beyond the
limits of human vision.

Full HD Video – Many EOS
SLR cameras capture Full

EOS DSLRs increase shooting
flexibility for the videographer in that they allow
for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses, includ-
ing wide-angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-
shift and fisheye, providing a wealth of focal
lengths, depth-of-field and other creative
shooting options once reserved for still photog-
raphy. All Live View AF features can also be used
in shooting video, and playback modes are
available in-camera, with sound.
Combined with their size, image quality
and flexibility, EOS DSLRs with Full HD
video capture are superlative all-in-one,
multimedia image-capturing tools.
Manual Control
For complete creative decision-making
on the go, select EOS DSLRs offer flex-
ible manual controls for their movie
modes. Not only can one take advan-
tage of the DSLR’s range of ISO sensi-
tivities, it’s simple to control exposure and
depth-of-field, all of which can have a profound
effect on the mood of a scene. It’s all as easy
as the press of a button. By controlling depth-
of-field, it’s simple to create gorgeous back-
ground blur. Exposure can be determined and
set even in complex lighting situations, main-
taining the same look and feel throughout an
entire scene, not just the initial shot.
Large CMOS Sensor
With amazing Canon CMOS sensors, video is
easy to shoot, and looks better than ever
before. Large sensors provide a look and per-
spective impossible to achieve with traditional
video cameras, and the quality must be seen to
be believed. Large sensors also capture more
light, and can record at high ISO sensitivities
with less digital gain and reduced image
noise. This enables low-light shooting, without
loss of detail, in situations previously impossible
without artificial light. Although many devices,
even mobile phones, offer HD recording, the
quality of video captured by an EOS DSLR
and its CMOS sensor is markedly vibrant and
truer to life.
Depth-of-field
When shooting a video on an EOS DSLR, it’s
simple to control each shot’s depth-of-field, an
option previously available only when filming
with expensive professional cinema cameras.
Thanks to the physical size of EOS DSLR CMOS
sensors, combined with the large maximum
apertures achieved by Canon lenses, depth-of-
field, or lack thereof, can be a creative decision
reached solely by the photographer. If a large
aperture is chosen, thus creating shallow depth-
of-field, evocative, dramatic moving images with
blurred backgrounds can be attained with ease,
something simply not possible with smaller sensors
or compact cameras. If everything must be in
focus, shooting with a small aperture helps
ensure phenomenal depth-of-field, for illustrative
landscapes, architecture or anything else where
all details must be recorded. The drama, beauty
and mood achievable by controlling a movie
clip’s depth-of-field cannot be overstated — and
an EOS DSLR controls it with ease.
Creative Capabilities with EOS lenses
From fisheye to super-telephoto, the amazing
Canon EF and EF-S lenses offer a stunning combi-
nation of sharpness, speed, compactness and
flexibility — the perfect complement to a user’s
creativity. With the ability to create images of great
beauty, with controlled depth-of-field, inter-
changeable lenses bring moviemaking to a whole
new level. And the range of focal lengths is simply
staggering. With over 60 lenses available, includ-
ing the new Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM,
the world’s first real fisheye zoom lens that
functions as a circular fisheye and full-frame
fisheye for a full size CMOS sensor, and as a
full-frame fisheye for APS-C/H sizes, there’s an
EF or EF-S lens for everyone. No matter the
photographer, no matter the situation, Canon’s
superlative lenses help ensure quality results.
Frame Rates
In select models, EOS Full HD video movies can
be captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution, for up to
4GB per clip. Movies are saved as MOV files and
can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other
recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60
fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps). No mat-
ter the end-application, the proper resolution and
frame rate is easily defined with EOS cameras.
Movie Crop
The Movie Crop function, on
cameras like the EOS 60D and
EOS Rebel T2i, enables zooming at 7x the captured
focal length for distant action and extreme
Tilt-shift lenses allow you to
control the area of focus.
Macro lenses let you
get up close for detailed
shots of small subjects.
Wide-angle lenses are perfect
for shooting in tight spaces or
to capture large expanses.
Select EOS DSLRs feature 1920 x 1080 Full HD video capture and offer the
enhanced image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation
necessary in professional movie-making tools. By shooting video with a digital
EOS camera, it’s simple to take advantage of the image quality and characteristics
intrinsic to DSLRs, resulting in richer, more detailed and more diverse images.
The large sensor found in EOS DSLRs means more high quality pixels plus the
potential to shoot at higher ISO sensitivities without loss of detail.
