EOS 60D Highlights
18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor
The EOS 60D features a new, Canon-designed 18.0-megapixel APS-C
size CMOS sensor that captures such a high level of resolution,
it's easy to crop images for ment without concern of
losing detail. A major factor in reducing noise, the CMOS sensor
assures that images at highest sensitivity will be
remarkably smooth.
The improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that images are
captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS 60D
DSLR's new 3:2 multiple aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image
processing, creative filters, image resizing and provided S2 and
S3 image- quality are all possible thanks to the DIGIC 4
Image Processor. With dazzling results, the new DIGIC 4 Image
Processor also works to capture and process data of images
at 18.0 megapixels at 5.3 fps, as well as 14-bit signal
processing for excellent image gradation, enhanced Face Detection
Live mode, Full HD video , Auto Lighting Optimizer and
Lens Peripheral Optimization.
ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to
dim light
With a broad range of ISO settings, expandable up to 6400 in the
Auto Setting and 12800 with Custom function, the EOS 60D enables
shooting from sunrise to sunset and helps ensure capture of the
finest detail. With enhanced high-sensitivity optimization,
subjects can be captured clearly and easily at high shutter
speeds without flash, with minimized blur and noise. In bright
scenes, especially long exposures in daylight, optimal exposure
can be achieved with a fully open wide-diameter lens, no dark
filter needed.
Improved EOS HD Video mode with manual exposure control
Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS 60D features
HD Video capture technologies--manual exposure control for more
creative control, for example--borrowed directly from
professional Canon DSLRs to capture stellar video with all the
benefits of shooting with a DSLR. By shooting video with the EOS
60D, photographers as well as filmmakers can take advantage of
the creative features native to DSLR cameras. Along with its
manual controls, the EOS 60D allows for full use of Canon EF and
EF-S lenses, including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora of
shooting options once reserved only for still photography. Movie
Crop function is included: An SD-quality video (640 x 480) can be
cropped to the equivalent of about 7x magnification of regular
shooting.
The audio input level can be set to Auto or Manual, up to 64
levels, and a wind filter minimizes unwanted background noise. By
pressing the Quick Control button, a simple graphic user
interface for adjusting image quality, white balance, image
creation and other settings appears on the LCD.
Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame rates
for numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD
video at frame rates of 30 (29.97 fps), 24 (23.976 fps) and 25.0
frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Video footage is saved
as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD through the EOS 60D
DSLR's HDMI output. Other sizes include HD at 1280 x
720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps)--24/30 fps
delivers cinema-like motion, while 60fps is perfect for footage
being uploaded to video-sharing websites.
Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor
A first for any EOS, the EOS 60D features a bright, high
resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor
for shooting at a variety of angles. By easily sw between
low and high angles, the EOS 60D freely enables angle adjustments
even if the camera is ed on a tripod or has a battery grip
attached.
With 1,040,000 (dots/VGA) pixels for spectacular detail, the
advanced, smudge-resistant monitor includes high transparency
materials plus anti-reflective and water-repellant coatings to
provide clear and bright viewing. Superb for reviewing, editing
and deleting photos or composing new images in Live View
function, the Vari-angle Clear View LCD monitor is also the
perfect means for accessing camera settings like ISO, metering
modes, AF Point selection, the horizontal Electronic Level and
flash options.
5.3fps continuous shooting up to approx. 58 Large/JPEGs and 16
RAW
The EOS 60D operates with such effortless speed that operation
is nothing short of intuitive. With a 0.1 second start-up time,
speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag, the EOS 60D is made to
capture even rapidly-occurring scenes with stunning precision.
Able to shoot up to 5.3 frames per second (fps), capturing a
maximum burst of approximately 58 Large/JPEGs and 16 RAW, the EOS
60D DSLR lets you catch even the briefest of moments, whether
it's a faced-paced soccer game or the flicker of a candle flame.
96% viewfinder coverage allowing you to see more of your image
in the viewfinder
The EOS 60D features a phenomenally redesigned viewfinder that
not only offers an improved 96% coverage, 0.95x magnification, a
27.0° angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment, it
also features a newly designed transparent LCD display that
enables a number of viewfinder displays. A six-level battery
check indicator has been added on the left, and the exposure
level indicator scale has been expanded to up to three stops,
with arrows indicating greater exposure levels.
Enhanced iFCL 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system; and 9-point
AF system
The EOS 60D features a sophisticated, 63-zone Dual-layer sensor
designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into
account the color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points,
this system delivers an advanced level of accuracy for better
results even in difficult lighting situations. Since the metering
sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and
focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the
EOS 60D gives stable exposure from to in situations
where light changes, such as in a theater or concert hall. This
makes the EOS 60D ideal for scenes with extreme difference in
brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the
camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background,
and exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the
.
Since the EOS 60D provides high-speed X-sync ("X-sync" means the
fastest shutter speed that can synchronize with a flash burst at
the moment the shutter is fully released) up to 1/250 sec., the
range of photographic expression is dramatically increased,
allowing the EOS 60D to be used with confidence in bright scenes
or dim.
Convert RAW images into JPEGs in-camera and set the images to a
3:2 aspect ratio
The EOS 60D marks a highpoint in convenience for the
photographer by being able to shoot an image as a RAW file and
then process it entirely in-camera to produce a separate JPEG
file without the need of an outside computer. The EOS 60D gives
you 10 process variables--brightness adjustment, white balance,
Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer, noise reduction, JPEG
image- quality, color space, lens peripheral
illumination correction, distortion correction and chromatic
aberrations correction--to create the image you envision, set to
the 3:2 aspect ratio used in 35mm film.
Additionally, once you capture an image with the EOS 60D, you
can digitally manipulate it in-camera with a number of creative
filters for artistic and dramatic effect. Options include Soft
Focus Effect to convey dreamy tableaus; Grainy Black-and-White
Effect for a gritty, hard-bitten look; Toy Camera Effect--the
deliberate vignetting and color shift technique popular in art
photography--and Miniature Effect, which blurs the top and bottom
edges of the image to emphasize perspective and conveys a
miniaturized look of the scene.
Compatibility with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards
The EOS 60D DSLR uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.
Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large
capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect
complement to the EOS 60D DSLR's compact and lightweight body
design.
Compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses
The EOS 60D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and
EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto
lenses. Special optical technologies, such as aspherical,
ultra-low dispersion, or fluorite elements are featured in the
universally accled L-series lenses. And Canon's Optical Image
Stabilizer technology is featured in select lenses to minimize
the effect of camera shake. Additionally, photographers can use
for video the same lenses they do for still photography; Canon
wide-angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift and fisheye lenses
provide a wealth of focal lengths, depth-of-field and other
creative shooting options once reserved for stills.
Flash Photography
With a flash sync speed of 1/250 of a second, the EOS 60D also
features the accled E-TTL II flash metering system. With any
of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line (sold separately), E-TTL
II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash
pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With
E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for
measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering--giving
even finer metering command of the image area. If you prefer a
broader area for flash metering, there's a menu setting to change
to "Average" flash metering--where the entire 35-zone area is
measured evenly for flash exposure. Additionally, the EOS 60D has
a Speedlite transmitter built-in for convenient, full-featured
wireless control of EX-series Speedlite flashes set as slave
units.
