carbon-‐fiber blades, and is rated to maintain up to 6.0 fps performance without compromise, for up to 150,000 cycles. The EOS 5D
Mark III and accessories like the new Wireless File Transmitter WFT-‐E7A and GPS Receiver GP-‐E2 have extensive gasketing for
improved dust and water resistance, even at their connection points.
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
The Self Cleaning Sensor Unit featured in the EOS 5D Mark II has been optimized for the new EOS 5D Mark III to deliver even greater
dust removal for clearer images. To prevent dust accumulation, the system removes particles adhered to the surface of the infrared
absorbing/ultraviolet-‐blocking glass in a frontward direction by vibrating the glass with ultrasound. The particles are then absorbed
by an adsorbent at the bottom of the unit; the unit itself is completely sealed for protection against external contaminants, and its
front face of the low-‐pass filter 1 is treated with an anti-‐dust fluorine coating making it easier to remove damp or sticky dust
particles.
Sophisticated Composition, Simply
Intelligent Viewfinder with Superimposed LCD
The EOS 5D Mark III’s Intelligent Viewfinder offers a sharp, bright approximately 100% field of view with an approximate
magnification of .71x, a viewing angle of 34.1° and a 21mm eye-‐point. With a new construction featuring aspherical lens elements,
the viewfinder displays less distortions and color aberrations than previous models. It uses a transparent LCD to superimpose a
customizable combination of focus points and gridlines directly over the image. The AF status indicator can even be directed to
display within or outside of the viewfinders image area. With the intelligent viewfinder, unlike with other cameras, the photographer
has the choice of seeing shooting information or looking only at the scene in front of the camera. The ability to effectively erase all
shooting data and turn it back on with the touch of a button gives the photographer the opportunity to concentrate simply on
looking and composing the photograph without distraction, a great advantage in numerous shooting situations.
