ELECTRONIC DATA COMMUNICATION

IN
THE

EOS SYSTEM

From
the
start,
the
EOS
system
was
designed
to
make
full
use
of
electronics
as
the
best
way
to
increase
its
functional
capabilities.
This
involved
some
major
commitments
at
the
design
level.
Among
them
was
the
concept
of
placing
intelligent
circuitry
in
each
component
of
the
system,
including
lenses,
accessory
backs,
and
flash
units.
Where
some
manufacturers
have
chosen
to
rely
on
ROM
(Read-Only
Memory)
chips
in
their
AF
lenses,
Canon
has
added
a
full-featured
microprocessor
including
RAM
(Random
Access
Memory)
that
is
used
to
control
the
built-in
focusing
motors
and
aperture
drive.
Similarly,
the
flash
microprocessor
controls
the
automatic
zoom
head
and
many
other
features.
By
distributing
the
computing
tasks
among
the
various
accessories,
functional
capabilities
are
increased.
Another
important
use
of
electronics
resulted
in
Custom
Function
Control
with
the
EOS
630
and
EOS-I.
The
photographer
can
tailor
basic
camera
operations
to
his
or
her
personal
preference.
This
type
of
control
was
never
available
in
previous
Canon
SLRs.
Finally,
the
increase
of
"clock
speed"
(the
rate
at
which
computation
is
carried
out)
has
produced
a
number
of
benefits.
The
most
obvious
of
these
is
far
quicker
AF
operation,
and
the
previously
impossible
Focus
Prediction
capability
now
built
into
the
EOS
630
and
EOS-I.

ELECTRONIC

FOCUS

PRESET

Selected
large-aperture
EF
telephoto
lenses--the
200mm
f/l.8L,
the
300mm
f/2.8L,
and
the
600mm
f/4.0L--have
a
focus
preset
function
that
can
"lock
in"
a
focus
setting.
The
photographer
can
focus
on
other
shots,
then
when
necessary
return
immediately
to
the
preset
focus
with
a
quick
turn
on
a
special
ring.
Focus
preset
works
in
manual
focusing
as
well
as
Autofocus,
so
it
can
be
used
at
all
times.

EVALUATIVE METERING

Evaluative
metering
differs
from
center-weighted,
partial
area,
or
spot
metering
by
analyzing
a
total
of
6
zones
which
cover
the
entire
picture
area.
The
luminance
(brightness
level)
of
each
zone
is
'
measured
and
the
resulting
data
is
"evaluated"
by
an
exclusive
algorithm
(mathematical
program)
which
sets
an
exposure
value
according
to
subject
size,
pattern,
and
contrast.
Particularly
useful
in
backlit
scenes,
evaluative
metering
is
equally
effective
in
horizontal
and
vertical
compositions.
It
can
be
used
in
any
exposure
mode
(except
Bulb)
with
any
EF
lens.
In
bright
light,
evaluative
metering
favors
highlights,
but
in
dim
light,
it
exposes
for
the
shadows.
In
the
'
EOS
630
and
the
EOS-I,
a
newer
algorithm
provides
improved
exposure
accuracy
with
transparency
films.
