Canon introduces the EOS 60d series, new models that complement the popular and acclaimed EOS series of digital SLR cameras. Replacing the Canon EOS 50d, the EOS 60d is designed for photographers looking to enhance their photography skills. These models are extremely efficient and offer a range of creative features, new tilt LCDs and improved looks and ergonomics - all of which enable amateur photographers to take great photos and record movies in high definition modes up to 1080p (Full- HD) for unique results in creative photography.
High speed, high resolution.
In the case of using 18 megapixel APS-C sensors, the Canon EOS 60d cameras provide high levels. detail and increase the focal length of the photo lens by 1.7 times for creating photographs of almost poster sizes with different aspect ratios. The powerful embedded processors of the Canon DIGIC4 series process the photo data from the four-channel CM-OS outputs at high speed, guaranteeing amazingly accurate color tones and shooting 58 high-resolution JPEG photos at speeds up to 5.6 stills / second.
The standard ISO 100-6400 sensitivity range can be expanded to ISO 12 800, which makes it possible to acquire clear images with a minimum of noise in low light conditions. A 9-point AF system (A-F) with crosshairs on all sensors provides fast, accurate focusing with an ultra-sensitive center point for photographic lenses exceeding 2.8 apertures. Therefore, photographers can creatively use shallow depths of field when shooting portraits or for the most accurate reproduction of the atmosphere of photographs.
The Canon EOS 60d features the Canon IF-CL autoexposure metering systems, which were first used in the popular EOS 7d series, with a 63x double-layer zone sensor. Autofocus systems provide information on the positions of your subjects, and this information is supplemented with luminance and color information to achieve accurate and consistent exposure for every situation. Built-in Speed-lite transmitters give you the ability to control multiple EX-series flashes for the most creative lighting.
Photographing from any angle.
The new 7.9 cm (3-inch) diagonal Vari-Angle LCD has a 3-to-2 aspect ratio and a 1,020k-dot matrix resolution, providing additional flexibility and allowing the photographer to view images in incredible detail. Wide angle LCD screens with variable tilt angles help you capture shots from difficult angles; when combined with the Live-View function, this makes it possible to capture the desired composition in situations where the viewfinder cannot be used. This expands the possibilities of photographing wildlife, and if the camera is overhead or at ground level. The display's waterproof and anti-glare protective coating ensures visibility even in bright light from different angles.
Lots of creative modes.
The new Basic + features allow photographers to easily add their own artistic photo effects to their shots without having to change basic settings. It is possible to capture the atmosphere of the scene most accurately by taking pictures with the actual lighting and the type of scene using the Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports, Night Photo or Creative-AUTO modes. ...And when shooting with the Basic + function, you can achieve different photo effects, for example, "Daylight", "Cloudy" or even "Sunset", or apply individual Picture Style modes, including similar styles like "Soft", "Vivid colors" , "Warm" or "Solid".
Providing more options for creative users looking to expand their creative horizons, the Canon EOS 60d offers a host of new features to capture the highest quality photos and add effects right in your DSLR. The powerful Canon-DIGIC 4 processor supports in-camera RAW image processing, allowing photographers to adjust similar characteristics such as brightness, contrast, white balance, and correct distortion or even chromatic aberration. Edited photos can be saved in JPEG formats for printing, transferring to a PC or uploading to the Internet.
For photographers who wish to add bonus effects to their images without purchasing expensive software, the EOS 60d offers a range of new artistic photo filters that are used specifically in their cameras. For example, there are filters - Grainy Black & White, Soft Focus, Toy Camera Effect, and Miniature Effects. They give photographers the opportunity to acquire images of different styles and create a thematic collection, using, for example, "Grainy Black & Light" for reportage photography. Soft Focus makes it easy to achieve the smoothest human skin tones for portraits.
EOS Video Capture: Full HD Video with Full Image Control!
Not limiting photographers to just taking photos, the Canon EOS 60d records 1920 x 1080 HD video at a variety of user-selectable frame rates, including 30, 25 and 24 stills / second, and 720p video at 50 and 60 frames / second. In the video framing mode, the recording is made on the area of the matrix with an area of 640 by 480 pixels. The result is a sevenfold increase in the focal length of the photo lens.
Fully manual control in video clip recording mode allows you to independently set exposure and focus settings, and use a large range of Canon EF lenses. The presence of connectors for an external microphone and the ability to adjust the level. sound recording ensures that the audio tracks match the quality of the recorded video clip.
For those wishing to share images with their own friends and acquaintances, built-in HDMI ports with home electronics control (HD-MICEC) functions are offered, which makes it possible to view video clips and photos on any modern HD TVs and remotely control the camera when using a conventional TV remote control.
Impressive features.
The Canon EOS 60d has a completely new and well-made body, it combines ergonomic shapes with curved lines and new key arrangements for the fastest and most comfortable control of the shooting process. Commonly used camera controls are grouped together for easy access.
