"True advanced amateurs" want to see continuous improvement in image quality, therefore no effort was spared in development of EOS 5D Mark III.
The first camera in the 5D Series targeted True advanced amateurs who wanted a full-frame camera at a reasonable price. EOS 5D Mark III goes beyond this. Offering the advantages of a full-frame sensor in addition to superb optical performance, this new EOS satisfies the creative needs (and budgets) of True advanced amateurs while also serving as an excellent second camera for professionals. To achieve these goals, a new CMOS sensor was developed and coupled with a fast image processor. Sensor specifications were decided based on the concept of comprehensive image quality. Also, development of the image processor occurred concurrent with that of the processor in EOS-1Dx. Both these advancements realize superlative images in a full-frame format in addition to outstanding high-sensitivity performance, making this new EOS ideal for capturing outdoor night scenes and portraits along with dynamic indoor action. Canon poured it on when developing EOS 5D Mark III so photographers across a wide spectrum could benefit from its leading-edge features. In essence, EOS 5D Mark III raises the bar and sets a new standard in its class. 7

Optimized for EOS Movie
EOS 5D Mark III achieves a balance between resolution and low noise. Although pixel count was increased to approx.22.3 megapixels, overall image quality in the standard sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 25600 has actually improved.
5D Series is the leading D-SLR in terms of movie capability.
*Standard ISO range in movie shooting is 100 to 12800
Considering the required resolution for producing high quality still photos and the excellent image quality of full HD movies movies, the optimum pixel count was determined to be approx.22.3 megapixels.
Pixel count alone does not determine image quality, hence that EOS 5D Mark III's sensor has more pixels is not the sole reason for the improved image quality. We aimed to achieve at ISO 25600 the same noise level as that of 5D Mark II at ISO 6400. Of course, along with a drastic decrease in noise levels across the normal ISO range, noise reduction performance beyond ISO 25600 was also improved.

Now, shooting movies does not fully utilize processor resources. An electronic audio recording level can be displayed when shooting video video.
The high-performance video engine and fast 8-channel reading capability of the sensor combine to increase power consumption and heat compared to 5D Mark II. However, a large-capacity battery (like that found in 1 Series) was not an option due to size limitations. Therefore, saving energy was an imperative from the outset, with measures implemented throughout the entire camera including the CMOS sensor to reduce power requirements Since Canon develops all camera, sensor, requirements. major camera components this energy-saving initiative was easy to implement, resulting in improved performance while not unnecessarily increasing size. Hence, the number of pictures that can be taken and continuous movie recording time are maintained.

With EOS, Auto ISO in P/Av modes generally results in shutter speeds that are unlikely to be affected by camera shake , g y p y y which, as a general rule, is determined by the focal length of the lens. However, when shooting a moving subject with a 28 mm lens at 1/30s, blur caused by subject motion can occur. This blur can be avoided if the slowest shutter speed is restricted to 1/250s or similar. This functionality is quite elaborate due to the many factors involved.

Now AE lock can be used in M mode. Since exposure can be fixed while Auto ISO is enabled (ISO is automatically controlled in M mode unless AE i l k d ) th i t d d exposure can b is locked.), the intended be attained with spot metering or partial metering.
When using spot metering/partial metering in M mode, the exposure value can be determined by changing the shutter speed or aperture based on the metered value while AE is locked on the desired exposure.
Notes: When shooting through the viewfinder, adjusting the shutter speed and aperture were only possible when the metering area overlapped the targeted p pp g position. It was difficult to adjust the shutter j speed and aperture while keeping the scene properly composed, especially when using a telephoto lens.
Similar to using the normal timer method, pressing the AEL button holds the metered value. Pressing the button again releases the lock.
This avoids unintentional releasing of the AE lock. In addition, it is useful for quickly enabling or disabling AE lock depending on the scene.
Notes: Since the metered value is updated each time the AE lock button is pressed with the normal timer method, this feature is effective when determining exposure while checking exposure difference when shooting through the viewfinder viewfinder.
!
Now the exposure difference can be checked in the viewfinder since both the locked metered value and the value of the area currently being metered are displayed. Based on this information, exposure can be determined by comparing on-screen brightness of the two values.

Adjusting ISO while viewing metered value When setting ISO via the SET button, aperture, shutter speed and ISO can be adjusted without releasing the AE lock.
Safety shift by changing ISO sensitivity If the proper exposure cannot be achieved by adjusting shutter speed/aperture, ISO can be adjusted (within the normal ISO and Auto ISO ranges) to obtain the proper exposure.
In previous models, if ISO was changed, the metered value was reset. It was then necessary to meter again based on the new ISO setting. This new function allows g ISO to be changed while watching the aperture/shutter speed/ISO values change, and is performed by pressing and holding SET while turning the Main Dial.
Selecting ISO sensitivity adjusts ISO to obtain the proper exposure without changing creative intent (e.g. stopping motion at 1/500s, blurring backgrounds at f/2.8, etc.). , g g , )
Notes: Previously, if "Tv value/Av value" was selected, the aperture was adjusted to obtain proper exposure when ISO was fixed and the shutter speed reached its limit. Hence, the final image may not have been shot as desired.

The electrostatic touch sensor on the inner part of the Quick Control dial cannot be operated when wearing gloves. Due to its perceived benefits, EOS 5D Mark III developers wanted to include this type of Quick Control dial for movie functions only. User acceptance will be determined at a later date.

Image Review: Enlarge/Reduce

EOS First
A fast, easy way to check focus during and after shooting.

Magnify button
2. Magnification changed with the Main dial (Right: Enlarge; Left: Reduce)
The new Magnify button enlarges images to a predefined magnification, making it easy to closely check photos during quick image review (immediately after shooting) and playback.
5D Mark II's Enlarge and Reduce buttons
Approximately same size setting will probably be frequently used. Same as last magnification" setting saves and uses the previously selected magnification.
Pressing the Magnify button cycles between fullscreen and same-size displays.

3. Quick Control dial selects images
* Assigning the Enlarge function to the SET button allows the operation to be performed using only the right hand. When outdoors and the LCD is hard to see, enlargement can be performed with the right hand while using the left as a hood.
As per standard EOS design the grip side was populated with shooting controls. Hence the Magnify button was not design, controls Hence, easily operable during quick image review on 5D Mark II. However, this concept was changed in view of the increasingly large number of pictures taken during a photo shoot. Therefore the Magnify button was re-positioned to reduce handling fatigue and increase efficiency during long shoots. Since same-size magnification (approx.) can be set on EOS 5D Mark III, checking at this size (in pixels) can be performed for any image type. Furthermore, changing magnification is easily accomplished by rotating the Main dial instead of pressing a b tton (as had been done pre io sl ) Additionall while b button previously). Additionally, hile adjusting magnification with the forefinger, the area magnified can be changed using the Multi-controller with the thumb, making right-handed operation easier. Increasing the speed at which images are displayed using the Multi-controller is currently under development, as is improving enlargement specifications.

Rating/Protect
EOS First
EOS is the ideal choice for fast, efficient image management!

Dedicated Rating/Protect button The new dedicated Rate/Protect button provides one-touch one touch usability during quick image review (immediately after shooting) and playback an efficiency feature aimed at true advanced amateurs who take many pictures.
* The Rate button can be set for either Rate or Protect via the menu prior to using.
When using Rate, images can be quickly tagged with a pre-set rating. For example, if 1 and 5 shown above are selected, pressing the Rate button cycles between and either of which can 1 5, be tagged to images during quick image review and playback.
The JUMP function only displays images with a specified rating. For example, setting JUMP to 5 only displays images tagged with 5 during playback.
Rate button
The Rate/Protect item in the menu has been inherited from previous models. The erase function has been improved to reflect user needs. Previously, in order to avoid inadvertently erasing images, Cancel images "Cancel" was the default choice when the Erase button was pressed. However, to support the needs of users who want to delete many images, cursor operation can be customized with C.Fn "Erase".
