Lens Compatibility: The Canon EOS 60D digital SLR camera is
compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup. This gives you a
wide range of lenses to choose from, from ultra-wide angle to super-telephoto
lenses. This kit includes the Canon EF-S 18-200mm IS zoom lens.
Viewfinder: The EOS 60D features an eye-level, pentaprism
optical viewfinder with approximately 96% coverage. It has a built-in diopter so
you can adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight with or without glasses. Separate
dioptric adjustment viewfinder lenses (from +2 to -4), available from Canon, can
be installed on the camera, if desired. When using
the self-timer or remote control, the supplied eyepiece cover, attached to the neck strap,
can be used to prevent light from entering the eyepiece.
Vari-angle Clear View LCD Monitor: The EOS 60D features a 3" Clear View TFT
color LCD monitor with approximately 1,040,000 dots which allows you to view and shoot
real-time images. The monitor swivels out and rotates up to 270° for shooting at
difficult angles. The LCD monitor offers 100% viewing coverage and 7 brightness
levels to choose from. The LCD monitor's anti-reflection
and water-repellant coating provides a clearer and more smudge-resistant surface
and a light sensor integrated into the screen enables automatic brightness
adjustment in accordance with ambient light.
Live View: The Live View Function enables you to shoot still
images or videos while viewing the image on the camera's LCD monitor. The Final
Image Simulation function lets you view the effects of the camera's settings on
the photo you are taking. You can check the color, white balance, lighting,
exposure, depth of field, and aspect ratio before you take the shot.
Dual Axis Electronic Level: The EOS 60D also
features a new Dual Axis Electronic Level and tilt display that aids in
achieving perfectly level shots, displaying both roll and pitch in 1°
increments, either in the viewfinder or on the LCD.
Grid Display: The grid display superimposes vertical and
horizontal lines in the monitor during Live View to help you compose your
pictures. You can choose from Grid 1 which divides the monitor into 9
sections--3 vertical and 3 horizontal. Grid 2 divides the monitor into 24
sections--4 vertical and 6 horizontal.
18.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor:
The EOS 60D features a Canon-designed 18.0 Megapixel APS-C size (22.3 x 14.9mm) CMOS sensor that captures a high level of resolution so it's easy to crop images
for enlargement without concern of losing detail. A major factor in reducing
noise, the CMOS sensor assures that images shot at highest sensitivity will be
remarkably smooth. The image sensor has a 3:2 aspect ratio with 19-million total
pixels (5432 H x 3492 V) and 18-million effective pixels (5200 H x 3462 V).
Sensor Cleaning: The camera has a self-cleaning sensor unit attached to the image
sensor's front-layer (low-pass filter) to shake off dust automatically. The dust
delete data can also be appended to the image so that the dust spots remaining
can be erased automatically by the provided Digital Photo Professional software.
Note: Dust which could
not be removed by the automatic sensor cleaning can be removed manually with
a blower.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor:
The EOS 60D's DIGIC
4 Image Processor ensures that images are captured, processed, and saved with
remarkable speed. This improved processor makes possible a new 3:2 multiple
aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters, image resizing
with new S2 and S3 image-recording quality. Large 18MP images can be shot at 5.3
fps. The chip's 14-bit signal processing give you excellent image gradation,
enhanced Face Detection Live mode, Full HD video recording, and the Auto
Lighting Optimizer.
Recording Media: The EOS 60D records images onto SD, SDHC,
and SDXC memory cards. The camera is also compatible with Eye-Fi cards, which
allow you to automatically transfer captured images to a personal computer or
upload them to an online service via a wireless LAN.
Note: No recording media is supplied with the camera.
Image Recording Format: The camera records still images in JPEG
and RAW (14-bit) formats in 3:2 aspect ratio. During Live View Shooting, you can
also record images in 4:3, 16:9 or 1:1 aspect ratio. Simultaneous RAW+JPEG recording is also possible. In
addition, the camera can record video in the MOV format
(Video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, Audio: Linear PCM). Audio is recorded in monaural
using the built-in microphone, or in stereo with an external stereo microphone
(sold separately).
- JPEG: You can choose from the following JPEG resolutions: Large
(5184 x 3456), Medium (3456 x 2304), Small 1 (2592 x 1728
pixels). For each resolution, you can set the compression to Fine or Normal. Two
other image sizes are available in Fine quality (compression) only: Small 2
(1920 x 1280) and Small 3 (720 x 480). Note: Resolutions of images of
all aspect ratios are listed at the bottom of the page.)
- RAW Format: The
RAW file format records the image data as captured by the camera CMOS sensor
without further processing and converts it to digital data and records it onto
the card as is. RAW images can be processed in the camera and saved as JPEG
images. You can choose
from the following RAW resolutions: RAW (5184 x 3456), mRAW (3888 x 2592), or
sRAW (2592 x 1728). You can also record a Large/Fine JPEG image along with a
RAW or sRAW image simultaneously. mRAW and sRAW images cannot be processed in
the camera; you must use the supplied software.
- MOV Format (Video: H.264, Audio: Linear PCM): The EOS
60D
supports 1920 x 1080 (30/25/24 fps) and 1280 x 720 (60/50 fps) in HD (high definition) mode and 640 x 480
(60/50 fps) in SD
(standard definition) mode. Crop 640 x 480 is also available, providing a
telephoto effect of approximately 7x. The camera can record up to 12 minutes of
continuous HD video or 24 minutes of continuous SD video in a single clip.
Using an optional 8 GB CF card, a total of 22 minutes of Full HD (1920 x
1080) or HD (1280 x 720) can be recorded, and a total of 46 minutes of 640 x
480 can be recorded.
Note: Video recording is only available in Live View Mode using
the camera's LCD monitor.
Drive Modes: The Canon EOS 60D offers the following Drive (Shutter) modes.
- Single Shooting: When
you press the shutter button completely, one shot will be taken.
- Continuous Shooting: While you press the shutter
button completely, multiple shots will be taken continuously.
- High-Speed: maximum 5.3 shots per second
- Low-Speed: maximum 3 shots per second
- Self-Timer: The camera will
record an image 2 or 10 seconds after pressing the shutter button.
Note: The Canon EOS 60D is compatible with the following IR
wireless remote controls (RC-1 or RC-5), so you can shoot remotely up to
approximately 16.4 feet.
AF System: The EOS 60D features a 9-point, cross-type Auto
Focus system. With f/5.6 and faster lenses, all 9 AF points are sensitive to
both vertical and horizontal lines. With f/2.8 lenses, the camera's center AF
point's sensitivity to vertical and horizontal lines is about twice as sensitive
as the other AF points. You can manually select any of the 9 AF points to
autofocus.
AF Modes: You can select the AF mode to suit the shooting
conditions or subject. In Basic Zone modes, the most suitable AF mode is set
automatically. You can choose from the following AF modes:
- One-Shot AF: suited for still subjects, the
camera focuses only once
- AI Servo AF: for
moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. The subject will
be focused continuously while the shutter button is pressed halfway
- AI Focus AF: switches
from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the subject starts moving
Manual Focus: When autofocus fails due to conditions or
lighting, you can focus manually by setting the switch on the lens to MF and
turning the focus ring until the subject looks sharp in the viewfinder.
AF Assist Beam: The
camera's built-in flash (or an attached external flash) will fire a series of flashes in a row to assist during
auto-focusing in low-light situations. This AF-assist beam is
effective up to approximately 13.1 feet.
Shooting Modes: The EOS 60D offers various different
shooting modes, which are selectable on the top-mounted Mode Dial. The modes are
divided into zones: Creative Zone, Image Zone, and Basic Zone. To avoid
accidently changing the shooting mode, the mode dial has a lock, requiring you
to hold down the lock-release button while you turn the dial. The Shooting Modes
are as follows:
- Creative Zone:
- Camera User Setting: You can register most of the
current camera settings, including your preferred shooting mode, menus, and
custom function settings, for easy recall.
- Program AE: A general-purpose shooting mode; the camera automatically sets
the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scene's brightness.
- Shutter-priority AE: In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the
camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of
the subject.
- Aperture-priority AE: In this mode, you set the desired aperture
value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the
subject brightness.
- Manual
Exposure: In this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture
value as desired.
- Bulb: When the Bulb setting is selected, the shutter stays open
as long as you hold down the shutter button completely, and closes when you
release it. Bulb exposures can be used for night scenes, fireworks, or other
subjects requiring long exposures.
- Basic Zone:
- Full Auto: During Full Auto mode, the camera automatically
selects the settings.
- Flash Off: This mode can be used in places where flash
photography is prohibited, such as museums. It can also be used for
capturing the ambience of a scene, such as candlelight scenes.
- Creative Auto: The Creative Auto mode enables you to easily
change the picture's brightness, depth of field, and color tone; while the
camera automatically adjusts the exposure.
- Image Zone:
- Portrait: The portrait setting blurs the background to make the
human subject stand out. Skin tones and hair look softer.
- Landscape: For wide shots of scenery, night scenes, or for photos
with everything near and far in focus. Greens and blues are accentuated.
- Close-up: For photographing flowers or small items up close.
- Sports: This mode captures moving subjects and freezes the
action.
- Night Portrait: For taking portraits at night with a
natural-looking background. A tripod is recommended to avoid camera shake.
Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used
to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look
lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure
compensation amount can be set up to +/-5 stops in 1/3-stop increments, however,
the viewfinder and LCD can only display the setting up to +/-3 stops.
Auto Exposure
Bracketing: With auto exposure
bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically changes the exposure level up to +/-3
stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. If the Drive Mode is
set to Single Shot, you will have to press the shutter button three times. If
set to Continuous shooting, the three bracketed shots will be taken
continuously.
AE Lock: AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of
focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining
the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted
subjects.
63-Zone Dual-Layer Metering Sensor:
The EOS 60D features a new, 63 zone dual-layer sensor
designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the
color and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this new system delivers
an entirely new level of accuracy for better results even in difficult
lighting situations. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement
function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources
are minimized; the EOS 60D gives stable exposure from shot to shot in
situations where light changes, such as in a theater or concert hall. This
makes the EOS 60D ideal for scenes with extreme difference in brightness such
as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes; the camera balances exposure of
the main subject at the background, and exposures are not overly influenced
by bright areas in the shot. You can select from the following metering modes:
- Evaluative Metering: The camera's standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions, after detecting the main subject's position, brightness,
background, front and back lighting conditions, etc, the camera sets the proper exposure
- Partial Metering: Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject
due to backlighting, etc, uses approximately 6.5%
of the frame at the center
- Spot Metering: For metering a specific part
of the subject, uses approximately 2.8%
of the frame at the center
- Center-weighted Average
Metering: Metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for
the entire scene
ISO Speed: When shooting in the Creative Zone, the camera's ISO speed can be set
manually between 100 and 6400 in 1/3-stop or 1-stop increments to suit your shooting conditions. In addition the camera features an
Auto ISO setting which allows the camera to automatically set the ISO speed
from 100 to 6400. When using the Basic Zone modes, the ISO speed is set
automatically. When in Auto ISO, you can set the maximum ISO speed to 400,
800, 1600, 3200, or 6400. ISO Expansion
allows you to set the speed to the equivalent of ISO 12800 if needed.
Built-in Flash: The
Canon EOS 60D digital SLR camera features a built-in flash, which will pop
up and fire automatically in Basic Zone modes. In the Creative Zone modes, you
can pop up the flash manually when you wish to use the flash. When Red-eye
Reduction is applied, a pre-flash will prevent the red-eye effect for most
photos. Flash Exposure Compensation allows you to make the flash exposure darker
or brighter +/-3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
External Flash: You can mount an external flash unit to the
camera's hot shoe. The camera is
compatible with Canon's external EX-series Speedlites (sold separately). The
camera's built-in flash can work as a master unit with Canon Speedlites
having a wireless slave feature and wirelessly trigger the Speedlite to
fire.
Auto Lighting Optimizer: If an image comes out dark or the contrast is
low, the brightness and contrast can be corrected automatically. With JPEG
images, the correction is done when the image is captured.
Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction: Due to lens
characteristics, the four corners of a picture might look darker. This is called
lens light fall-off or drop in peripheral illumination. With JPEG images, the
correction is done when the image is captured.
Picture
Style: By selecting a picture style you
can achieve various effects matching your photographic expression or the subject.
You can also adjust the Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation and Color tone of
each Picture Style. Picture Style selections include:
-

2000-10000 K.
- Other WB Settings:
- Color Temperature: Manually set color temperature from 2500-10000 K in 100 K increments.
- White Balance Correction: You can
correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. It has
the same effect as using a color temperature conversion filter or a color
compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.
- White Balance Auto Bracketing: With just one
shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the current white balance mode's standard color
temperature, the white balance setting can be changed from 0 to +/-3 stops
in whole-stop increments.
Color Space: The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera,
you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal
images, sRGB is recommended. In the camera's Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set
automatically.
Histogram: A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of
an image. The graph display indicates a bright image when skewed to the right
side, and a dark image when skewed to the left side.
Mirror Lockup: The Mirror Lockup feature helps prevent
camera vibration when using a super telephoto lens or shooting close-ups.
Multi-Language: The camera's menus system
supports 25 different languages including English, French and Spanish.
