Canon 7D 3814B072 Benutzerhandbuch

The EOS 7D does not just shoot video clips, it offers the

enhanced image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive

exposure compensation necessary in a professional movie making tool.

Shooting video with the EOS 7D increases flexibility for the photographer

in that it also allows for full use of Canon’s EF and EF-S lenses, including

wide angle, macro, tilt-shift and fish-eye, providing a wealth of depth-of-

field and other creative 

shooting options once reserved

only for still photography.  By

shooting video with a large 

sensor camera, it’s simple to

take advantage of the image

quality and characteristics

intrinsic to SLR photography.

Combined with its size, image

quality and flexibility, the 

EOS 7D is an all-in-one image

capturing tool. Not only can

one take advantage of the 

EOS 7D’s expansive range of

ISO sensitivities, for amazing

performance, even in dimly lit

situations, it’s simple to exert

full control over exposure and depth-of-field, which can have a profound

effect on the mood of the moving image.  And it’s all as easy as the press

of a button.  The EOS 7D has a dedicated Live View/Movie Recording lever

with a start/stop button that gets the shooting started fast.

Full HD Video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 24 (23.976), 25, or

30 (29.97) fps, for up to 4GB per clip.  Movies are saved as MOV files and

can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output.  Other recording sizes include

HD at 1280 x 720 resolution at 50/60 (59.94) fps or SD/VGA at 640 x 480

resolution at 50/60 (59.94) fps.

Designed specifically for the EOS 7D,

the WFT-E5A functions both as a wire-

less file transmitter and as an auxiliary

hand grip.  Now supporting 5.2 GHz 802.11a/b/and g, it’s the fastest and

most versatile wireless transmitter around.  The WFT-E5A also allows the

EOS 7D to wirelessly link to up to 10 other WFT equipped cameras as a

Master camera.  When the Master camera is fired, the linked cameras are

wirelessly triggered to fire in unison.  The WFT-E5A allows full access to

the camera’s ports and maintains weather resistance and durability while

offering reliable wired or wireless communication.  As a camera grip, the

WFT-E5A has the same buttons as Battery Grip BG-E7.

Battery Grip BG-E7 nearly doubles the

battery life of the EOS 7D, while offering

advanced operability and seamless

integration with the camera’s design.

Designed to accommodate one or two 

LP-E6 batteries, or AA batteries with 

battery magazine BGM-E6, the BG-E7

increases flexibility on the go.  With a

vertical shutter release button, plus AE

lock and Multi-Function button, it makes vertical shooting a breeze.  Made

with the same grip coating and dust resistance as that on the EOS 7D’s

body, the BG-E7 is the perfect accessory for the EOS 7D.

As with still images, the more control the photographer or filmmaker has

over the technical aspects of a shoot, the more refined the expression, or

mood of the final product.  The EOS 7D offers completely flexible exposure

control for its movie modes, allowing for complete creative control for the

shooter.  In Manual mode, users can control depth-of-field and sense of

motion, creating gorgeous background blur.  Exposure can be determined

and set even in complex

lighting situations, maintain-

ing the same look and feel

through an entire scene, not

just the initial shot, and

minimizing camera noise that

can occur when the aperture

changes due to exposure

adjustment mid-clip.

The EOS 7D has a built-in

microphone for simple mono

recording.  For sound quality

that mirrors the tremendous

resolution of the EOS 7D’s

video recordings, stereo sound can be recorded through an external micro-

phone connected to the EOS 7D’s 3.5mm microphone input terminal.  With

an external microphone attached, the possibilities for sound recording are

increased exponentially.  Another phenomenal perk of the EOS 7D’s Movie

mode is that still images can be captured, in full resolution, while shooting

movies and can be saved as distinct files.  It’s as simple as pressing the

shutter button while recording a movie, and the supplied image can be

modified as could any other recorded still. Playback modes are available

in-camera.  Sound and all Live View AF features can be used in shooting

video.  Simple editing can even be done in-camera, and movies can be

played on both standard and HD televisions by using an AV

cable or HDMI.  Uploads to a computer are straight-

forward and quick.
