Features:
Exceptional Quality Images.
- The EOS 60D features a new, Canon-designed 18.0 Megapixel
APS-C size CMOS sensor that captures such a high level of resolution, it's easy
to crop images for enlargement without concern of losing detail. A major factor
in reducing noise, the CMOS sensor assures that images shot at highest
sensitivity will be remarkably smooth.
- The improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that images are
captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS 60D DSLR's new 3:2
multiple aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters, image
resizing and provided S2 and S3 image-recording quality are all possible thanks
to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. With dazzling results, the new DIGIC 4 Image
Processor also works to capture and process data of images shot at 18.0
Megapixels at 5.3 fps, as well as 14-bit signal processing for excellent image
gradation, enhanced Face Detection Live mode, Full HD video recording, Auto
Lighting Optimizer and Lens Peripheral Optimization.
Excellence from Dawn to Dusk.
- With a broad range of ISO settings, expandable up to 12800
with Custom functions, the EOS 60D enables shooting from sunrise to sunset and
helps ensure capture of the finest detail. With enhanced high-sensitivity
optimization, subjects can be captured clearly and easily at high shutter
speeds without flash, with minimized blur and noise. In bright scenes,
especially long exposures in daylight, optimal exposure can be achieved with a
fully open wide-diameter lens, no dark filter needed.
EOS HD Video to Go!
- Designed for the evolving, tech-savvy user, the EOS 60D
features HD Video capture technologies - manual exposure control for more
creative control, for example - borrowed directly from professional Canon DSLRs
to capture stellar video with all the benefits of shooting with a DSLR. By
shooting video with the EOS 60D, photographers as well as filmmakers can take
advantage of the creative features native to DSLR cameras. Along with its
manual controls, the EOS 60D allows for full use of Canon EF and EF-S lenses,
including Macro and Fisheye, providing a plethora of shooting options once
reserved only for still photography. The resulting HD video is a standout in
its beautiful depth-of-field characteristics and remarkable capture capability
under poor lighting conditions. Additionally, a Movie Crop function is
included: An SD-quality video (640 x 480) can be cropped to the equivalent of
about 7x magnification of regular shooting.
- The audio input level can be set to Auto or Manual, up to 64
levels, and a wind filter minimizes unwanted background noise. By pressing the
Quick Control button, a simple graphic user interface for adjusting image
quality, white balance, image creation and other settings appears on the LCD.
The EOS 60D even lets users edit video in-camera: On-site or off, unnecessary
scenes can be deleted and the start/end points of video footage can be
designated via in-camera editing functions without the need of a separate
computer.
Video can be captured at a number of resolutions and frame
rates for numerous applications. It can capture 1920 x 1080 Full HD video at
frame rates of 30 (29.97 fps), 24 (23.976 fps) and 25.0 frames per second, for
up to 4GB per clip. Video footage is saved as MOV files and can be viewed in
Full HD through the EOS 60D DSLR's HDMI output. Other recording sizes include
HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 fps) - 24/30 fps
delivers cinema-like motion, while 60 fps is perfect for footage being uploaded
to video-sharing websites. The EOS 60D also has a built-in microphone for
simple mono recording and stereo sound can be recorded through a self-powered
external microphone
Low Angles or High, a Big Vari-angle LCD Captures the
Details.
- A first for any EOS, the EOS 60D features a bright, high
resolution, flip-out Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor for shooting at
a variety of angles. By easily switching between low and high angles, the EOS
60D freely enables angle adjustments even if the camera is mounted on a tripod
or has a battery grip attached.
- With 1,040,000 (dots/VGA) pixels for spectacular detail, the
advanced, smudge-resistant monitor includes high transparency materials plus
anti-reflective and water-repellant coatings to provide clear and bright
viewing. Superb for reviewing, editing and deleting photos or composing new
images in Live View function, the Vari-angle Clear View LCD monitor is also the
perfect means for accessing camera settings like ISO, metering modes, AF Point
selection, the horizontal Electronic Level and flash options.
The Need for Speed.
- The EOS 60D operates with such effortless speed that
operation is nothing short of intuitive. With a 0.1 second start-up time, speedy
autofocus and minimal shutter lag, the EOS 60D is made to capture even
rapidly-occurring scenes with stunning precision. Able to shoot up to 5.3
frames per second (fps), capturing a maximum burst of approximately 58
Large/JPEGs and 16 RAW, the EOS 60D DSLR lets you catch even the briefest of
moments, whether it's a faced-paced soccer game or the flicker of a candle
flame.
See More, Get More.
- The EOS 60D features a phenomenally redesigned viewfinder
that not only offers an improved 96% coverage, 0.95x magnification, a 27.0°
angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment, it also features a newly
designed transparent LCD display that enables a number of viewfinder displays.
A six-level battery check indicator has been added on the left, and the
exposure level indicator scale has been expanded to up to three stops, with
arrows indicating greater exposure levels.
- The EOS 60D also features an advanced horizontal Electronic
Level, that, when activated, is superimposed on the LCD monitor to aid in
achieving evenly leveled shots by indicating the horizontal tilt up to
approximately 9° in 1° increments.
Intelligent Scene Analysis for Superb Exposure.
- The EOS 60D features a sophisticated, 63-zone Dual-layer
sensor designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the
color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an
advanced level of accuracy for better results even in difficult lighting situations.
Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and
focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS 60D gives
stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as in
a theater or concert hall. This makes the EOS 60D ideal for scenes with extreme
difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the
camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and exposures
are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot. Since the EOS 60D
provides high-speed X-sync ("X-sync" means the fastest shutter speed
that can synchronize with a flash burst at the moment the shutter is fully
released) up to 1/250 sec., the range of photographic expression is dramatically
increased, allowing the EOS 60D to be used with confidence in bright scenes or
dim
In-Camera Technologies for an Easier Workflow.
- The EOS 60D marks a highpoint in convenience for the
photographer by being able to shoot an image as a RAW file and then process it
entirely in-camera to produce a separate JPEG file without the need of an
outside computer. The EOS 60D gives you 10 process variables - brightness
adjustment, white balance, Picture Style, Auto Lighting Optimizer, noise
reduction, JPEG image-recording quality, color space, lens peripheral
illumination correction, distortion correction and chromatic aberrations
correction - to create the image you envision, set to the 3:2 aspect ratio used
in 35mm film.
- Additionally, once you capture an image with the EOS 60D,
you can digitally manipulate it in-camera with a number of creative filters for
artistic and dramatic effect. Options include Soft Focus Effect to convey
dreamy tableaus; Grainy Black-and-White Effect for a gritty, hard-bitten look;
Toy Camera Effect - the deliberate vignetting and color shift technique popular
in art photography - and Miniature Effect, which blurs the top and bottom edges
of the image to emphasize perspective and conveys a miniaturized look of the
scene.
Flexible Storage with Memory Cards
- The EOS 60D DSLR uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory
cards. Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, SD,
SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the EOS 60D DSLR's
compact and lightweight body design.
Superlative Accessories for Superlative Images.
The EOS 60D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF
and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon
lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to
deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process.
Special optical technologies, such as aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, or
fluorite elements are featured in the universally acclaimed L-series lenses.
And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology is featured in select lenses to
minimize the effect of camera shake. Additionally, photographers can use for
video the same lenses they do for still photography; Canon wide-angle, macro,
super-telephoto, tilt-shift and fisheye lenses provide a wealth of focal
lengths, depth-of-field and other creative shooting options once reserved for
stills. Through Canon lenses, photographers can truly maximize the quality and
liberating performance of the EOS 60D.
Flash Photography
- With a flash sync speed of 1/250 of a second, the EOS 60D
also features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the
flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output
whether shooting fill-in flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total
darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for
measuring ambient light is also used for flash metering - giving even finer
metering command of the image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash
metering, there's a menu setting to change to "Average" flash
metering - where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure.
Additionally, the EOS 60D has a Speedlite transmitter built-in for convenient,
full-featured wireless control of EX-series Speedlite flashes set as slave
units.
- The Canon Speedlite 430EX II is the ideal step-up accessory
for powerful flash shooting with the EOS 60D. It has excellent flash power
(maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect way to get
great flash pictures when you can't get right up to the subject. The 430EX II
is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. It
automatically zooms the flash head to cover lenses ranging from 16mm up to
105mm or longer with the EOS 60D. Of course, it works with the camera to
provide full E-TTL II automatic flash exposure. And the 430EX II has a powerful
AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on
subjects as far as 32 ft. from the camera.
