Page 3: I Overview
EOS-1D Mark II, the professional standard for sports, news, fashion, wedding and portrait photographers worldwide. This commonality of parts has enabled Canon to offer a vastly improved camera for the same price as its 11.1 megapixel predecessor. For approximately $8,000, the 1Ds Mark II equals, and surpasses in many respects, the performance of digital camera backs that cost $16,000 and up, plus the purchase of a medium format body. - Page 4 1Ds Mark II in the future. Such is the confidence one can derive from a comprehensive and industry-leading system. In sum, the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II is the benchmark against which all professional cameras and imaging systems, film and digital, will be measured. Let the comparisons begin.

Page 8: New And Improved Design Features
These narrow gaps greatly increase the efficiency of light convergence while greatly reducing birefringence. Canon has also improved the design of the photo diodes in the CMOS sensor by eliminating transistors in each pixel, making a greater portion of the surface area of each pixel sensitive to light. -
Page 9: Autofocus System
The EOS-1Ds Mark II’s sensor measures 36 by 24mm, a full 35mm frame, eliminating the need for lens focal length conversion factors. Wide-angle lenses and the many unusual or specialized lenses in the Canon EF family have their full, unfettered visual effect. Autofocus System The EOS-1Ds Mark II uses the exceptionally precise and fast autofocus system of the EOS-1D Mark II with a few minor changes. -
Page 10: E-Ttl Ii Flash System
As with the EOS-1D Mark II, the AF CPU of the 1Ds Mark II is a 33 MHz, 32-bit RISC (reduced instruction set) microcomputer that handles area AF detection and auto AF point selection. The 1Ds Mark II camera CPU is a 32 MHz, 32-bit RISC microcomputer that controls lens communications, lens driving control and predictive AF statistical calculations. -
Page 11: Exposure Control
The PC terminal has no polarity issues and can be used safely with sync voltages up to 250V. The EOS-1Ds Mark II is compatible with Canon’s entire line of EX series Speedlites plus the MR-14EX Macro Ring Lite and the MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite for close-ups. Wireless... -
Page 12: Digic Ii Image Processor
The EOS-1Ds Mark II shares with the EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1v, 1D and 1Ds a Canon innovation called Active Mirror Control which replaces conventional suppression of mirror rebound shock with a mechanical system which incorporates a hook on the backside of the main mirror. -

M2 (6.3MP), and S (4.2MP). An additional choice is CR2 RAW at 16.6MP. The recording quality, or compression rate, is independent of the pixel count. For each of the four pixel counts, there are ten compression rates selectable from the menu, from 1 (minimum quality, maximum compression) to 10 (maximum quality, minimum compression). -
Page 14: Dual Slot Memory Cards
The EOS-1Ds Mark II and the 1D Mark II have two card slots, one for CompactFlash and another for the physically smaller Secure Digital. Canon engineers were able to make this addition without altering the legendary “1 series” chassis. There are several ways to take advantage of this configuration: The same file can be recorded on each card, creating a full backup. -

Writing resumes when the cover is closed. Reliability and Durability The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II continues the tradition, begun in 1971 with the Canon F-1 SLR, of reserving the “1” series designation for cameras which represent state-of-the-art ruggedness and durability. The use of magnesium alloy is continued for the top, front and rear covers, the memory card slot cover and the chassis. -

without using the menu. Frequently used ISO speed extensions have been moved to the menu screen from the Custom Functions. An Enlarge button has been added to control screen magnifications. The Erase button has been moved to the bottom row with the Recording Quality and White Balance buttons. -
Page 17: Camera Setting Retention
upgraded to a white LED unit, which is much brighter and more accurate in color than the fluorescent backlight used with the EOS-1D and 1Ds. At the same time, the new backlight consumes far less power, thus contributing to the 1Ds Mark II’s outstanding battery life. Camera Settings Retention Almost all the camera settings displayed on the top and rear LCD panels and in the menus can be saved to a memory card. -

Direct Printing The EOS-1Ds Mark II can print directly to a Canon Compact Photo Printer, Canon PIXMA series Printer, Canon Bubble Jet Direct Photo Printer, or to a non-Canon, PictBridge- compatible printer. -
Page 19: Software Package
CMYK printer simulation, multiple image downloading and downloading to applications other than Photoshop, and support for high-end compact models, such as the Canon Powershot Pro1. Continuous refinement simply means that the functionality and value of DPP will increase over time. -
Page 20: Wireless File Transfer
Printers. Images printed from DPP using Easy-PhotoPrint and a Inkjet/BJ printer can be printed in faithful colors, taking maximum advantage of the Inkjet/BJ printer color space. When Easy-PhotoPrint 2.1 or later is used with a Canon i9900 Desktop Photo Printer or Canon PIXMA iP8500 Photo Printer, their ChromaPLUS system with 8 individual ink cartridges supports images captured in Adobe RGB with the EOS-1Ds Mark II and EOS-1D Mark II cameras. -
