Focal length multiplier of 1.6x as compared to a 35mm camera, Variable ISO (100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600), TTL optical viewfinder with detailed information display, diopter adjustment and depth-of-field preview, 1.8 inch, low temperature TFT LCD with 114,000 pixels, Full Auto, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Auto Depth-of-Field, Programmed AE (Landscape, Macro, Night Scene, Portrait and Sports) and Manual exposure modes, operates in "shooting priority mode" - camera does not need to be set in "play" mode to view pictures - pictures can be viewed in between shots, and even if camera is showing a picture or in a menu, pressing the shutter button halfway prepares camera to take a photo immediately, continuous Shooting mode capturing up to 8 large/fine or 17 large/normal images at up to 3 frames per second with shutter at 1/250 second or faster, variable white balance with Auto, 5 manual presets, and Custom (measure white point from a saved image). White balance can be changed on capture for RAW-format files, using either presets or manually selecting a neutral target in the image from which to reference white point, TTL autofocus with 3 focusing points, manually or automatically selectable (only 1 point selectable at a time). One shot AF, AI Servo AF with focus prediction, AI Focus AF, and manual focus. Working range of EV 2 to 18 at ISO 100, built-in E-TTL type retractable-type flash with red-eye reduction. Guide Number is 12/39 at ISO 100, m/ft, flash angle covers the field of an 18mm lens. Topside hot shoe for external flash connection of EX Speedlite flashes as well as a PC flash sync socket, flash exposure compensation of +/- 2 stops in 1/2 stop increments. Flash exposure lock function. 1st and 2nd curtain sync function. External shoe supports E-TTL, FEL and FP (high speed sync) flash metering, redeye Reduction by built-in illuminator, Front-Curtain Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync flash sync modes, TTL maximum aperture metering with a 35-zone silicon photocell. 35-zone Evaluative metering linked to all focusing points, Centerweighted average metering, or 9.5% central-area spot metering. Metering range of EV 2 to 20 (at normal temperatures, EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, ISO 100), adjustable exposure compensation from -2 to +2 EV(!) in 1/2 EV or 1/3 EV increments in all exposure modes, auto exposure bracketing (AEB) from -2 to +2 EV(!) in 1/2 EV or 1/3 EV increments in all autoexposure modes, Shutter speeds from 30 to 1/4,000 seconds, and a Bulb setting for longer exposures, electronic self-timer with a fixed duration of 10 seconds, optional external battery pack adds secondary shutter release and control wheel, as well as AE lock and focus point buttons for vertical-format shooting, image storage on CompactFlash Type I or II, compatible with IBM MicroDrives, USB connectivity with TWAIN driver for PC and Adobe PhotoShop plugin for Macintosh. NTSC/PAL switchable video out connectivity. N3 remote control socket, 24-bit JPEG and 36-bit RAW data file formats. Available resolution/compression settings are: Large/Fine (2160 X 1440), Large/Normal (2160 X 1440), Small/Fine (1440 X 960), Small/Normal (1440 X 960) or Lossless compression (2160 X 1440), DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) and DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) compliant.
Digital cameras allow for easy access to homeade photo albums.
