IV. DISCUSSION OF NEW AND IMPROVED FEATURES

Direct Printing and

PictBridge

External Flash Control

Besides adding PictBridge, as with the EOS-1D Mark III,

two features shared with the EOS 40D have also been

incorporated that work with all Canon printers that sup-

port PictBridge. First, printing effects such as B/W, Vivid,

Brightness, and Adjust levels are now reflected in the

image displayed. Only the Face Brightener and Red-eye

Correction are not reflected in the displayed image.

Second, with the trimming screen displayed, turning the

Quick Control Dial will tilt the displayed image up to ±10

degrees in 0.5-degree increments.

All PictBridge-compatible Canon printers can now be

used to set the Brightness, Adjust levels, Contrast, Color

saturation, Color tone, and Color balance (except for

Face Brightener and Red-eye Correction). Previously, this

was possible only with the Canon PIXMA Pro9500 and Pro9000. Compatibility with Face

Brightener and Red-eye Correction depends on the printer type.

When printing sRAW images through direct printing, the JPEG image will be used to

make the print. The pixel count for the JPEG image and the sRAW image is the same. For

RAW+JPEG images, the RAW image will be used to make the print. For sRAW+JPEG

images, the JPEG image will be used to make the print. Note that if the JPEG image size

is small, print size should be limited appropriately. Finally, a RAW image taken by another

camera cannot be printed via direct printing. Since the RAW image processing method

and imaging processor differ among cameras, compatibility cannot be ensured.

The [Zoom] and [Wireless set.] flash functions have

been added. These settings make it easier to view,

summarize and set complicated wireless set-ups. As

on the EOS 40D, one can now set all wireless flash

settings with the camera’s LCD monitor instead of the

master Speedlite when the 580EX II is used. All exter-

nal flash function settings and external flash Custom

Functions settings other than these are the same as

the EOS-1D Mark III’s.
