Canon (China) Co., Ltd. will provide new firmware for EOS 7D (parameter picture post). EOS 7D on sale in October 2009, both high pixel and high-speed continuous shooting performance, is the flagship model of the EOS series digital SLR cameras APS-C format. The new firmware, the EOS 7D expand the recording capabilities, and performance in the field. Firmware upgrade after the optimization of the main features include a substantial increase in the maximum number of consecutive shots, which can further utilize a maximum of about 8 / s high-speed continuous shooting. And set the auto ISO upper limit of the function, so that about 18 million-pixel APS-C format CMOS image sensor and dual DIGIC 4 digital image processor, high-sensitivity shooting more convenient. The carrying of a number of new features it can bring the potential of the EOS 7D. The firmware version 2.0.0 is expected to Canon’s official website available for download in early August.

EOS 7D Firmware Upgrade concern

■ new firmware to add new features, give full play to the potential of EOS 7D

EOS 7D both the high resolution of about 18 million pixel CMOS image sensor with the maximum of about 8 / s high-speed continuous shooting performance, is the flagship model in Canon APS-C format cameras. The firmware version using the new storage management, and shot through the effective management of data, a substantial increase in the maximum number of consecutive shots. Specifically, the maximum number of consecutive shots of the RAW image from the original about 15 * a increase of about 25 * b *, select the record the RAW + JPEG (Large / Fine) quality, the maximum number of consecutive shots from about 6 * a to about 17 * b. The increase in the maximum number of consecutive shots would better serve the EOS 7D up to about 8 / s high-speed continuous shooting performance advantages, especially in shooting sports subject to expand the scope of use.

set the auto ISO ceiling function can set the maximum ISO sensitivity to the entire class as a unit within the scope of ISO 400-6400, quality co-existence with the shutter speed high-sensitivity shooting. In addition, the Auto ISO range up to ISO 6400, to improve the ability of the corresponding dark shooting. New equipped with camera RAW imaging function, except for the RAW image (the M-RAW, the S-RAW) directly within the camera imaging and a number of adjustments, and save it as JPEG images, including white balance, Picture Style, automatic brightness optimization results, High ISO noise reduction, but also on the shooting, the camera can not compensate for lens distort aberration and chromatic aberration correction. No computer can also be implemented on a variety of image correction, change the quality and save it as a new file, need to share data at the shooting scene or want to shorten the image processing time after shooting case is very convenient.

movie shooting feature additional manual recording can be divided into 64 to manually adjust the recording level can show the circumflex and changes difficult to reproduce the subtle sound of automatic recording, allowing users to enjoy the full HD picture quality of the EOS clips to join is full of spot sense of sound to bring the fun.

the firmware upgrade to include a variety of further improve the function of the EOS 7D performance, image quality and shooting performance to maintain high-end level of the same level camera at the same time, expanding the shooting field.

* a Canon testing standards based on ISO100, Standard Picture Style and support UDMA 4GB memory card conditions.

* b * Based on Canon’s testing standards ISO100, Standard Picture Style and support UDMA 128GB memory card conditions.

the maximum number of consecutive shots to increase real shot example

a continuous burst of up to about 17 RAW + JPEG (Large / Fine). Sustainable for about 2.1 seconds up to about 8 / s high-speed continuous shooting, more realistically capture the subject action.

■ with advanced image management easy and so operational the EOS 7D

the firmware upgrade to include a variety of easily browse images, as well as a more detailed set of projects of the camera. Equipped with speed control image playback function, image playback more convenient. During playback, press the speed control button to display a number of functions to protect the image, rotate the image operation can be completed in the playback screen. Is also equipped for easy image viewing, management of the score function and JPEG image resize functions. The score can be divided into five levels to add ★ mark for the playback image, and be able to easily find the satisfaction goes from the captured image. In addition, during image playback display the location of the speed of a substantial increase to more easily view the location of the focus is to move the magnified view.

JPEG image resize function in the camera can shoot JPEG (L / M) image resize, easy access to the images uploaded to the Internet, etc. or in an electronic album playback. Also support the freedom to change the prefix character in the file name. In addition, according to the current location manually set the corresponding time zone.
