Use the 61-point High-Density Reticular autofocus for tracking your subjects and capturing them with a precise focus quality. The mirror vibration control system helps in countering the effects of ordinary, spring-driven SLR mirrors. The shutter speed ranges from 30 seconds to 1/8000th of a second. Shoot pictures with an astounding quality even under cycling lighting situations with the camera’s anti-flicker feature. Finally, the intervalometer and bulb timer gives you the freedom to perform time-lapse fixed-point shooting and get long exposures without using a remote control.

The 3.2-inch TFT screen comes with a resolution of 1.04 million dots for browsing through your captured content with great sharpness. The Intelligent Viewfinder II provides a coverage rating of 100% and can be used even under bright sunlight where it becomes difficult to use the TFT screen.

The EOS 5D from Canon shoots pictures at a massive resolution of 8712 x 5813 pixels, as well as Full HD 1080p videos at 30 fps. You can even shoot images in a continuous manner at a burst rate of up to 5 fps. The dual DIGIC 6 image processors are capable of processing images with an impressive blend of quality and speed. The 1.3x and 1.6x crop shooting options for still photography extend the overall shooting effect.
