The Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR Camera is
a full-frame 22.3MP DSLR featuring exceptional still image and movie
recording capabilities. Integrating Canon's new DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
and 14-bit A/D conversion, this camera is able to produce superbly
detailed imagery with immense low-light sensitivity that is further
aided by an extended ISO range up to 102400. Image quality is further
enhanced by the new 61-point high density reticular autofocus, including
up to 41 cross-type AF points and 5 dual diagonal AF points for ensured
sharpness. iFCL metering works in conjunction with the AF system and
uses color information from scenes to produce accurate exposure readings
using a 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor. HDR and Multiple Exposure
modes provide greater creative opportunities and help you to reduce the
amount of post-production time needed to produce high quality imagery.
The 5D Mark III is also capable of recording Full HD video with manual
exposure control and in multiple frame rates, including 1080/30p and
720/60p. Still images can also be recorded up to 6fps.
Image
review is possible using the 1,040,000-dot 3.2" Clear View II LCD
monitor, which features a high-transparency, reflection resistant
multi-coating for adequate viewing under bright conditions. The
Intelligent Viewfinder also integrates a superimposed LCD providing you
with exposure information and features a 100% field of view.
A
highly durable magnesium-alloy body surrounds the components and offers
increased dust and weather resistance. An updated EOS Integrated
Cleaning system also helps to reduce and remove dust within the camera
body. Several of the physical controls on the camera body are fully
customizable for a more efficient workflow and more convenient handling
scheme. Dual CF and SD memory card support also increases the
compatibility of the camera. Support is also provided for the optional
Canon Wireless File Transmitter and GPS receiver for remote logging,
tracking, and sending of your imagery.
22.3 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
A
newly designed 22.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor is incorporated into the
5D Mark III providing you with highly detailed, rich images with a
maximum resolution of 5760 x 3840 pixels. The sensor is also features a
high S/N ratio and larger individual pixels for increased visual depth
and cleaner looking images. A new photodiode structure and increased
photoelectric conversion rate also helps to improve the overall
sensitivity of the sensor, resulting in a reduction in image noise and
improved high ISO performance.
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
Processing
speed and power are increased to promote significantly greater overall
performance and response from all aspects of the camera. New algorithms
are incorporated in order to promote better noise reduction for higher
ISOs and chromatic aberration compensation. The increase in processing
speed also helps to improve the continuous shooting rate, bringing it to
6 full-resolution frames-per-second.
