Product Description
Manufacturer Description
Building on the success of Canon's perennially popular "prosumer" EOS
20D and 30D models, the EOS 40D advances the state-of-the-art for mid-
range digital SLR cameras, making it a natural first choice for
advanced amateur photographers and entry-level professionals, and an
ideal second body for more established photo pros. Indeed, given the
level of feature upgrades and improvements, technological wizardry,
and user-requested creative controls, the Canon EOS 40D SLR's
"prosumer" appellation may refer more to its accessible price point
than to the exceptional quality, clarity, and resolution of the images
it creates.
From the camera's newly enhanced, 10.1-megapixel CMOS imaging sensor
(designed and manufactured by Canon) and its proprietary and super-
efficient DIGIC III image processor, to its completely redesigned
autofocus sensor and fast, 6.5 frame-per-second (fps) continuous
shooting capability (for bursts of up to 75 Large/Fine JPEGs or 17 RAW
images), the EOS 40D SLR puts the fun in functionality and makes
serious photo business a positive pleasure.
Canon EOS 40D DSLR highlights
Indeed, at 6.5 fps, no digital SLR in the EOS 40D mid-range class and
price category has so high a continuous shooting capability, making it
ideal for shooting--and actually capturing--speed-sensitive outdoor
and wild-nature shots as well as a wide variety of action and sports
scenes. The speed of the EOS 40D SLR comes from Canon's balanced
combination of its latest processor, DIGIC IIII, DDR SDRAM high-speed
memory, four-channel-per-line sensor readout, and two separate motors
for shutter and mirror operation.
Canon EOS 40D Highlights

Display's the Thing The most easily visible upgrade on the EOS 40D
Digital SLR is the camera's larger 3.0-inch LCD screen (compared with
the EOS 30D's 2.5-inch monitor). Still, size is only the beginning of
the difference between these two cameras' displays. In order to
increase viewing ease in outdoor conditions such as bright sunlight,
Canon raised the brightness level of the EOS 40D camera's 230,000-
pixel LCD screen, broadened the color gamut, and narrowed the viewing
angle from 170 degrees to a still wide 140-degree perspective in all
directions. An added advantage of the larger-sized display is the
ability to use a larger font size for text, making it easier to read
setting and menu options on the screen. The camera's menu is organized
in the same tabbed format as the EOS-1D Mark III Digital SLR.
Canon extends its "ease-of-reading" policy to the EOS 40D SLR's
viewfinder as well. The upgraded viewfinder increases optical
magnification from 0.90x to 0.95x, expands the viewing angle from 251
degrees to 264 degrees and raises the eye point from 20mm to 22mm.

Enhanced Durability Recognizing the often rigorous shooting conditions
encountered by professional and advanced amateur photographers, Canon
design engineers made the EOS 40D SLR's magnesium alloy exterior even
more ruggedly dependable than its predecessors with upgraded dust- and
weather-resistant construction, particularly around the camera's
connection ports, battery compartment, and single-slot compact flash
(CF) memory card door. Should the user inadvertently open the compact
flash card door while the camera is writing to the card, a warning
will pop up on the LCD screen and an open door "alarm" will sound, but
the image(s) will continue writing to the memory card without
interruption. The EOS 40D SLR also retains many of the outstanding
features of the EOS 30D model, such as its fast 0.15-second initial
start-up, its extremely durable shutter (rated up to 100,000 cycles),
its top shutter speed of 1/8000 second, and 1/250 maximum X-sync flash
shutter speed setting.
Improved Image Quality Although it is based on the image sensor used
in the EOS Digital Rebel XTi, the EOS 40D Digital SLR's 10.1-megapixel
CMOS APS-C size image sensor has been significantly improved thanks to
the use of larger microlenses over each pixel to reduce noise and
expand sensitivity up to ISO 3200. The EOS 40D retains the model 30D
camera's 1.6x focal length conversion factor (compared to full-frame
digital image sensors or 35mm film) and is compatible with the full
line-up of Canon EF lenses as well as the Company's expanding
selection of high-quality, affordable EF-S lenses created specifically
for Canon digital SLRs with APS-C size image sensors.
Adding to the improved virtuosity of the images captured by the EOS
40D SLR is the camera's 14-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion
process. Able to recognize 16,384 colors per channel (four times the
number of colors recognized by the EOS 30D SLR's 12-bit conversion
capability), the EOS 40D camera is able to produce images with finer
and more accurate gradations of tones and colors. The EOS 40D also
incorporates the optional Highlight Tone Priority and High-ISO Noise
Reduction functions first introduced earlier this year with the EOS-1D
Mark III Professional Digital SLR.
DIGIC III DIGIC III is the latest generation of Canon's proprietary
image processing engine. DIGIC III technology ensures that the fine
details and natural colors of the images are optimally recorded and,
as an added bonus, is also responsible for the EOS 40D SLR's high-
speed performance, faster signal processing, and even its efficient
energy consumption.
sRAW In addition to retaining the RAW image capture capabilities of
its predecessors, the EOS 40D SLR now offers a more manageable "sRAW"
recording format. In sRAW mode, the number of pixels is reduced to
one-
fourth that of a standard RAW image and the file size is cut in half,
while retaining all of the flexibility and creative possibilities
associated with full-size, conventional RAW images.
Canon EOS 40D DSLR highlights
Improved Autofocus and Exposure Control While the EOS 40D SLR
maintains the nine-point wide area AF coverage first introduced on the
EOS 20D camera, Canon has made significant improvements to its speed,
precision, and functionality, minimizing subject recognition problems
in the process. The EOS 40D camera's completely redesigned nine-point
AF sensor provides cross-type AF measurement at all nine focusing
points for maximum apertures up to f5.6, and for the first time in any
EOS camera, the central AF point offers enhanced precision for both
vertical and horizontal subject contrast when using EF or EF-S lenses
featuring maximum apertures of f2.8 or faster. AF calculation speed
with the EOS 40D camera is 30 percent faster than the EOS 30D model.
The Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR retains the same 35-zone metering sensor
as its predecessor. Available patterns include Evaluative metering,
which is linked to all AF points and is set automatically in the Basic
Zone modes, Centerweighted average metering, Partial metering, and
Spot metering, covering approximately 9 percent or 3.8 percent of the
viewfinder at center, respectively. The camera's E-TTL II autoflash
and 12 exposure control modes (11 AE modes plus manual) are also
unchanged from the EOS 30D SLR model. However, as a result of consumer
input, Canon has added three Custom exposure modes. As an added
convenience, particularly for wireless flash operations, users can
adjust the flash settings of the Canon Speedlite 580EX II directly
from the camera.
The Canon EOS 40D camera offers ISO speeds from ISO 100 to ISO 1600 in
1/3-stop increments. Users can also opt for a high-speed setting of
ISO 3200. For the first time in any EOS camera, the 40D model offers
Auto ISO capability in Creative Zone exposure modes. This valuable new
feature adjusts the ISO speed to the optimal setting based on low
light or shaky shooting conditions. Additionally, the EOS 40D provides
full-time display of the active ISO speed setting, both in the
viewfinder as well as on the top LCD data panel.
The Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR is also the first camera in its class to
offer two interchangeable focusing screens in addition to the standard
precision matte screen. Users can opt for a grid-type focus screen
that makes it easier to verify horizontal or vertical alignment while
determining image composition, as well as the Super-Precision Matte
focusing screen that makes it easier to grasp the "sweet spot" of
manual focusing when using a lens with a maximum aperture of f2.8 or
faster.
Canon EOS 40D DSLR highlights
Enhanced Live View Previously the province of the EOS-1D Mark III DSLR
(one of Canon's top-tier professional cameras), the Live View function
now gives EOS 40D camera users an expanded and exceedingly convenient
and comfortable set of shooting options. By permitting the framing and
capturing of subjects using the camera's LCD screen instead of the
viewfinder, the shooter gains a 100 percent field view to more easily
achieve the desired composition. A new Custom Function on the EOS 40D
allows autofocus during Live View by pressing the camera's AF-ON
button. At that point, the reflex mirror goes down and AF is carried
out in the normal way. Letting go of the AF-ON button resumes Live
View functions. Also, in the Live View shooting mode the user can
magnify the image by five or ten times in order to ensure that the
shot is optimally focused. Live View is at its best during tripod
shooting--particularly for close-up photography where precise focusing
is imperative. As a side benefit, the Live View shooting mode helps to
reduce vibration by lifting the reflex mirror out of the optical path
well in advance of the exposure, improving image quality at slow
shutter speeds. A new electronic 1st-curtain shutter function in Live
View mode reduces release time lag and operational noise even further
to avoid spooking wildlife or disturbing people nearby with unwanted
camera sounds. Additionally, as the release time lag is miniscule,
even instantaneous movements like a bird taking flight can be readily
captured.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System First introduced on the EOS Digital
Rebel XTi camera, the EOS Integrated Cleaning System is a prime
example of trickle-up technology and is now becoming a standard
feature on all new EOS Digital SLRs. The camera's Self-Cleaning Sensor
Unit uses ultrasonic vibrations to literally shake dust particles off
of the low-pass filter in front of the sensor each time the camera is
powered up or shut down. Users also have the option of engaging the
"clean now" function at will or bypassing it altogether. Additionally,
the EOS 40D SLR's manual sensor cleaning function raises the mirror
and allows users to clean dust that has stuck to the low-pass filter.
Dust that has been shaken or blown loose is then trapped by adhesive
at the base of the sensor unit housing, preventing the problematic
particles from reattaching themselves to the filter when the camera
moves. The second part of the cleaning system is a software solution
that maps the location of any spots that may remain on the sensor. The
mapped information is saved as Dust Delete Data and attached to the
image file. Subsequently, the offending dust information is subtracted
from the final image during post processing with a compatible personal
computer, using the supplied Digital Photo Professional software.
Improved Software Among the most valuable features of the Canon EOS
40D Digital SLR is its compatibility with Canon's Picture Style Editor
(PSE) 1.0 software. With PSE, shooters can actually design the look of
their photographs by inputting their own preferred style, color, and
tone curves. The EOS 40D Digital SLR also ships with the latest
versions of Canon's powerful software applications, including Digital
Photo Professional 3.1 and EOS Utility 2.1, which now support the
camera's Remote Live View and Dust Delete Data functions, as well as
incorporating a broad range of additional improvements designed to
improve image quality and speed up workflow. Also included are
ZoomBrowser EX 5.8 and ImageBrowser 5.8 for easy browsing, viewing,
printing, and archiving with compatible computer operating systems,
including Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows XP, as well as Mac OS X.
Accessories (Not Included--Must be Purchased Separately) New system
accessories for the EOS 40D SLR include the redesigned high-capacity
Battery Grip BG-E2N, which facilitates high-volume shooting and easier
vertical shooting. Compatible with up to two BP-511A battery packs or
a set of six AA-size batteries, the battery grip approximately doubles
the number of shots that can be taken, compared with the battery power
of the EOS 40D SLR alone. The BG-E2N grip features new sealing
material around the battery compartment to better resist water and
dust. The new model replaces the original BG-E2 grip and is compatible
with the EOS 20D, 30D, and 40D models.
Designed exclusively for the EOS 40D SLR, the new Wireless File
Transmitter WFT-E3A permits wireless transfer and back-up, as well as
remote control of the camera in Live View mode. It can also be
connected to various GPS receivers or Hi-Speed USB 2.0 external
storage devices such as convenient flash drives or high-capacity hard
drives with much larger storage capacity than the memory cards in the
camera for instant back-up as images are captured. Compact and
affordable, the WFT-E3A wireless transmitter also doubles as a
vertical grip and requires its own BP-511A battery pack in addition to
the battery installed in the camera body.
EF 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens The EF 28-135mm
f3.5-5.6 IS USM standard zoom lens features an Image Stabilizer and
high zoom ratio. With the image stabilizer turned on, you can obtain
sharp, natural-looking pictures in dim lighting without using flash or
a tripod--very handy for places where flash is prohibited. The lens
uses a ring-type USM for swift, silent autofocus and full-time manual
focus. Its closest focusing distance is 20 inches (50 centimeters).
