Canon EOS 30D

The Canon EOS 30D is a semi-professional digital SLR camera by Canon. The digital camera was put on the market in March 2006 and is the successor of the Canon EOS 20D. The successor of the EOS 30D is published in September 2007 Canon EOS 40D.

Generally

The 30D has been compared to the 20D a number of functions and minimal change in design.

The ISO value can be set in 1/3-stop increments, it The following values ​​are available: Auto (100 to 400), ISO 100/125/160/200/250/320/400/500/640/800 / 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,600 / 3,200. However, the ISO value 3.200 (H ) must have a Custom Function ( Custom Setting 08 " ISO speed " ) are activated and is therefore only in the camera's creative programs.

Unlike the higher-quality professional models (eg Canon EOS 5D ) has the 30D a built-in flash, fill flash at close range as well provides good performance.

At the design of the camera body changed little. The housing is made as in the previous model of magnesium alloy. Some corners have been rounded; total makes the 30D compared to the 20D a more rounded impression. The screen on the back has been increased. Thus, the adjuster had to be postponed by a few millimeters to the right. In addition, the Canon cameras now usual " Print / Share " button has been added, which is positioned to the left on the display.

The images can be stored in the 30D, both in JPEG and RAW format, as with most current digital SLRs. The aspect ratio is also slr typically 3:2. The highest resolution produces images with 3504 × 2336 pixels with 8.2 million effective pixels. The CMOS sensor in APS -C format, however, was advertised as a 8.5 - megapixel sensor.

This is not " full-frame " sensor, a form factor of about 1.6 results in comparison to the small format. The lens mount takes on both the EF lenses and EF -S lenses from Canon developed especially for this type of sensor.

The flash is also used as an auxiliary light for the autofocus by weak flashes are triggers for measuring distance in quick succession.

Differences to its predecessor the Canon EOS 20D

  • The light sensitivity can be set to ISO 100-1600 in 1/3-stop increments (in the menu at 3200 ISO expandable).
  • Spot metering ( 3.5% of the image area in the center ).
  • Selecting the continuous shooting speed between five and three frames per second.
  • Picture Style ( Picture Style ) function.
  • The individual parameters have been extended.
  • Significantly larger TFT screen with a screen diagonal 2.5 " ( 230,000 pixel).
  • It can handle RGB histograms are displayed.
  • Extended internal buffer memory, which is used as an enlarged buffer for unsaved images on Compact Flash, which means that it can be taken in rapid succession more pictures. However, since the DIGIC processor writes in parallel after the first picture on the card, the speed of the CompactFlash card has a great influence on the maximum image sequence.
  • The "Jump" function in the playback picture may also jump over 100 images, or by date.
  • When setting the ISO value that is displayed in the viewfinder.
  • In directories on the memory card can now be up to 9,999 stored instead of 999 images.
  • Slightly different RAW format
