The journey to find EOS 7D

• Who are photographers and what do they
need?
• How does our line-up cater for each type of
photographer?
• Where are the gaps?

producing 14bit RAWs

Sensitive: R2
Analogue to Digital Conversion

• Light is an analogue signal
• Computers work using Digital Signals
• Analogue signal must be converted to Digital

• Controls how much light is let in through the lens
• Effects the Depth of Field
• Shutter Speed
• Controls How long the sensor is exposed to light
• Effects how much blur is in the image

Cross type sensors

• AF Sensors detect lines
• Horizontal sensors can detect only vertical lines
• Vertical sensors can detect only horizontal lines
• To detect real world objects accurately both types should be
