File Transfer Plug-in
The convenient plug-in will allow for simple and
easy transfer of video content from Canon’s
EOS DSLR cameras directly into Final Cut Pro.
The EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1* takes advantage of
Final Cut Pro’s powerful Log and Transfer fea-
ture, which allows users to select video for
import from the memory card, add custom
metadata and ingest the clips in the back-
ground so the editing can begin immediately.

monaural sound can be recorded via built-in
microphone. Stereo recording is possible with
an external stereo microphone connected to
the camera’s mic input connector (a standard

Advanced Exposure Control
When shooting HD video, EOS digital SLRs
employ center-weighted average metering
(using the imaging sensor) to ensure stable
motion picture exposure. If the AF mode is set
to Face Detection Live View, the camera will
use Evaluative metering linked to the AF point
corresponding to the face to calculate expo-
sure. As with still shooting, AE lock and expo-
sure compensation are available for video. Full
manual exposure control can also be used
when shooting video. ISO speed can be set
automatically or manually, and shutter speeds
can set manually over a wide range. Available
aperture settings are specific to the lens used.

Outstanding Image Control
Many of the refined image control and
enhancement features available for still shoot-

settings and saved Picture Styles can be used
in video mode, giving the photographer a tre-

depth-of-field control. If a large aperture is
chosen, thus creating shallow depth-of-field,
evocative, dramatic moving images with
blurred backgrounds can be attained with
ease, something simply not possible with
smaller sensors or compact cameras. If every-
thing must be in focus, shooting with a small
aperture helps ensure all-encompassing

scapes, architecture and any other scenic sit-
uation where all details must be recorded. The
drama, beauty and mood achievable by con-

EOS DSLR provides a degree and ease of such
control unprecedented among conventional
video cameras.

Unique Video
With the introduction of Canon
EOS digital SLRs capable of
Full HD video capture, professional photogra-
phers, videographers and cinematographers
have at hand an important imaging tool. By
shooting video with a large sensor camera, the
professional user can take advantage of the
image quality and characteristics intrinsic to
SLR photography. The extensive range of ISO
sensitivities and flexible exposure control
makes it possible to precisely achieve the
desired visual effect, profoundly affecting the
mood of a scene. Exposure can be determined
and set even in complex lighting situations,
maintaining the same look and feel through-
out an entire scene, not just the initial shot.

Shooting HD video with EOS digital SLRs
allows the photographer to choose from the
entire range of Canon EF and EF-S lenses,
including wide angle, macro, tilt-shift and
fish-eye, providing a wealth of creative shoot-

remarkable capture capability under poor
lighting conditions and deep clean blacks with
undetectable noise.

it possible to shoot Full HD video of extraordi-

with professional big-screen cinematographic
cameras. The large CMOS sensors in Canon
EOS DSLRs, combined with the incredible range
of Canon EF lenses available to the photogra-
pher/videographer, provide a look and per-
spective impossible to achieve with traditional
video cameras. Large sensors also capture
more light and can record at high ISO sensitiv-
ities with less digital gain and reduced noise.
This enables the capture of high-quality foot-
