Exceptional image quality is assured with an APS-H size (28.7 x 19.1 millimeters) CMOS sensor and high performance DIGIC II processor. The EOS-1D Mark II N also features 45-point Auto Focus and a start-up time of 0.2 seconds. Its wide 100-1600 ISO speed range is expandable to L:50 and H:3200.

First choice of professional agencies
Launched in January 2004, the EOS-1D Mark II fast became Europe's best selling professional D-SLR camera. It secured the major share of sports and photojournalism worldwide, with the world's leading wire agencies such as Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP choosing Canon professional products for their photographers.

New screen
For improved image review and menu readability, the EOS-1D Mark II N is fitted with a larger, brighter 2.5-inch 230K pixel poly-silicon TFT LCD monitor, giving photographers a significantly larger viewing area. The improved screen has twice the number of backlighting LEDs so that it retains brightness and visibility throughout a wide 170-degree angle of view, both vertically and horizontally. This makes it easy to view images when camera is mounted in a fixed position. With image playback, the magnified view can now be viewed straightaway on any selected AF point, and magnification is possible during the quick review immediately after image capture.

Meeting photographers' needs, listening to the market
The EOS-1D Mark II N incorporates a host of improvements to enhance performance, operation and speed. To prevent shooting disruption, new folders are now automatically created when image number 9999 is reached in the current folder. A new memory card selection short cut makes it fast and easy to switch between card slots when choosing recording location. A Low Level Format option executes secure and permanent deletion of SD card data and increases SD card write speeds.

When shooting RAW and JPEG simultaneously, images can now be recorded separately onto a different memory card (CF or SD). In-camera file names are now customizable: Users can decide the first four characters of the filename and the camera will append the 4 digit image number--a feature particularly useful for agencies and photo libraries dealing with memory cards from multiple photographers.

Ready-to-use images as standard
New Picture Style pre-sets simplify in-camera control over image quality. The camera's factory default configuration delivers more immediately usable JPEG images without need for additional menu settings. Picture Style pre-sets can be likened to different film types--each one offering a different color response. Within each easily selectable pre-set, photographers have control over sharpness, contrast, color tone, and saturation.

The pre-sets include:
 

• Standard--for crisp, vivid images that don't require post-processing;
• Portrait--optimizes color tone and saturation and weakens sharpening to achieve attractive skin tones;
• Landscape--for punchier greens and blues with stronger sharpening to give a crisp edge to mountain, tree, and building outlines;
• Neutral--ideal for post-processing;
• Faithful--adjusts color to match the subject color when shot under a color temperature of 5200K;
• Monochrome--for black and white shooting with a range of filter effects (yellow, orange, red, and green) and toning effects (sepia, blue, purple, and green).

Picture Style replaces internal image processing previously controlled by setting processing parameters and color matrix. Picture Style is also supported by the supplied Digital Photo Professional and RAW Image Task software.

Exceptional image quality, total reliability

Exceptionally high quality images are assured due to the combination of Canon's DIGIC II processor and 2nd generation CMOS sensor, which features an on-chip noise elimination circuit to reduce the creation of fixed pattern and random noise. A low-pass filter placed in front of the sensor reduces false color and moire effects, while the infrared filter suppresses red fringing caused by sensor reflections and fog.

The EOS-1D Mark II N has a shutter durability of 200,000 cycles, and a weather resistant magnesium-alloy casing with over 70 dust- and moisture-resistant seals protects the camera.

A new Auto option is available on the Noise reduction menu screen, which offers automatic detection and correction when necessary of noise levels in images with exposures of 1 second or longer.

Compatibility and accessories
The EOS-1D Mark II N is compatible with all Canon EF lenses and the entire EX series Speedlite flash range. Canon's E-TTL II flash system optimizes flash exposures by linking distance information from the camera/lens system to the 21-zone evaluative or averaged metering readings from the pre-flash.

The camera's focusing screens are interchangeable; an optional new "Super Precision Matte" Ec-S focusing screen enables easier manual focusing with fast lenses.

With the optional Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E1 (not included--must be purchased separately), photographers can work cable-free as images transfer automatically through a wireless LAN to a computer in seconds . Interfaces include video out (for display in both NTSC and PAL formats), IEEE1394 (Firewire), and USB. The camera is PictBridge compliant for PC-less direct printing to any brand of compatible photo printer.

The EOS-1D Mark II N supports the optional Data Verification Kit DVK-E2 v2.2 (not included--must be purchased separately), which verifies the originality of images taken with the camera.

New software
The EOS-1D Mark II N is bundled with the EOS Digital Solutions Disk v11, which includes an upgraded version of Canon's RAW image processing software Digital Photo Professional (DPP). DPP v2.0 now supports RAW images shot on all EOS digital cameras from the EOS D30 forwards, and includes support for Picture Styles. Improvements and additions are aimed at improving functionality and workflow efficiency for professionals, and include: easy image selection with three levels of check marks; real-time adjustment of sharpness; improved image correction (Copy Stamp); enhanced image transfer function--single image transfer to PhotoShop is possible; extended color space support, now including Apple RGB and ColorMatch RGB; and an enhanced CMYK simulation function.

Also provided is on the solution disk is ZoomBrowser EX (PC) and ImageBrowser (MAC) v5.5 for managing images, EOS Capture v1.5 for remote shooting, PhotoStitch v3.1, PhotoRecord v2.2 (PC), RAW ImageTask v2.2 and CameraWindow v 5.3. EOS-1D Mark II N is compatible with Canon iMAGE Gateway providing a 100 MB online photo album.

Capteur Grâce au capteur Canon CMOS 8,2 millions de pixels, l'EOS-1D Mark II N dispose de la sensibilité nécessaire à l'obtention du contraste et à la reproduction des détails les plus subtils dans les zones d'ombres et de hautes lumières. Un filtre passe-bas et un circuit de traitement intégrés éliminent les risques de fausses couleurs et de bruit électronique. 8,5 im./sec. L' EOS-1D Mark II N enregistre à une cadence de 8,5 im./sec. en continu sur des rafales allant jusqu'à 48 images JPEG ou 22 images RAW. Autofocus Les 45 points de la plage AF couvrent une large zone du viseur pour des résultats parfaitement nets, même lorsque le sujet n'est pas centré ou se déplace rapidement. DIGIC II Le processeur DIGIC II reproduit les teintes et les sujets en couleurs ou en noir et blanc avec une précision exceptionnelle. Puissant et ultra-rapide, le DIGIC II prolonge également l'autonomie de la batterie et permet une mise sous tension de l'appareil en 0,2 seconde seulement. Styles d'image Les préréglages de Styles d'image assurent un contrôle facile des paramètres de traitement d'image et l'accès rapide à un mode monochrome pour la prise de vues en noir et blanc. Les préréglages des Styles d'image peuvent être comparés à l'usage qui consiste, en photographie argentique, à utiliser divers types de films, chacun offrant notamment un rendu de couleurs différent. Avec chaque préréglage, facilement sélectionnable, le photographe décide ainsi du niveau de netteté et de contraste ainsi que du réglage de teinte et de saturation des couleurs adaptés à son thème de travail. Large écran LCD L'écran LCD 2,5 pouces 230.000 pixels conserve netteté et visibilité sur un grand angle d'incidence de 170, à la fois verticalement et horizontalement. D'autre part, un mode lecture directe après le déclenchement permet de vérifier la mise au point et la composition sans passer en mode lecture. Double logement pour cartes mémoire Les images RAW et JPEG correspondant à une même vue peuvent être enregistrées individuellement sur carte mémoire CF et SD. Lors de l'enregistrement des 2 types de fichiers sur une seule carte, un "raccourci" permet de passer rapidement à la carte suivante lorsque la première carte est pleine. Les réglages du boîtier peuvent être sauvegardés sur une carte mémoire afin de les transférer sur un autre boîtier. Large plage ISO La large plage de sensibilité (100-1600 ISO) peut être étendue jusqu'à 50 (L) et 3200 (H). lorsque la sensibilité est modifiée, les options s'affichent dans le viseur.
