      Canon’s EOS ID Mark IV replaces the popular Mark III model at the top of the company’s ‘APS-H’ format professional DSLR line-up, adding Full HD video capture, higher resolution, a new image processor and an improved AF system to the features of the previous model. Like its predecessor, the Mark IV isn’t just for press and sports photographers; it has a much wider appeal and almost all photographers should find something desirable in the new camera.

      At a glance, the Mark III and Mark IV models appear very similar and both camera bodies have the same dimensions and general configuration. Both use magnesium alloy for the chassis, mirror box and exterior covers and both come with extensive dust- and moisture-resistant sealing (the Mark IV has six more sealing points than the Mark III). They also have much the same control layout.

      The Mark IV is 25 grams heavier, which will be barely noticeable for photographers in the field. And both take EF lenses with a 1.3x focal length crop factor and produce images with a 3:2 aspect ratio. There have been some major improvements to the 3-inch LCD monitor on the rear panel. As well as increasing its resolution from 230,000 dots to 920,000 dots (equivalent to VGA resolution) in the new model, Canon has also improved the viewing qualities of the screen in several ways.

      For starters, the plastic protective cover has been replaced by a tempered glass coating that is more rugged and scratch-resistant. In addition, the gap between the cover and the LCD panel has been filled in the Mark IV with a photo-elastic material with the same refractive index as the protective glass. This ‘no boundary technology’ eliminates back-scattered light, providing a much clearer view of the screen in conditions, such as outdoor sunlight, where internal reflections can interfere with viewing.

      The new screen also provides a ten-degree improvement in viewing angle in all directions, covering 160 degrees vertically and horizontally, where the Mark II only offered 140 degrees. Screen brightness is adjustable across seven levels to provide clear viewing under different ambient lighting conditions.

      As in previous Canon professional DSLRs, pressing the Info button in shooting mode displays an overview of current camera settings and you can toggle between two display options: Normal and Shooting Functions. The latter display allows users to change camera settings without resorting to the top data LCD or viewfinder and is useful when the camera is tripod-mounted.

      Sensor and Image Processing
      The sensor in the EOS 1D Mark IV is a brand new chip developed and manufactured by Canon. Like recent Canon sensors it features gapless microlenses to maximize light-gathering capabilities. Measuring 27.9 x 18.6 mm and with an effective resolution of 16.1 megapixels, this chip’s photosites have a surface area of approximately 5.7 microns. Resolution is significantly higher than the 10.1-megapixels offered by the EOS 1D Mark III.

      ID-IV_sensor-unit

      The sensor is coupled to a circuit board containing two DiG!C 4 processors. These LSI chips were introduced with the EOS 5D Mark II and provide support for 14-bit raw file processing at 30% faster speeds than the DiG!C III chips in the EOS 1D Mark III. Faster processing speeds also allow greater scope for rendering highlight and shadow details, enabling the camera to record a wider dynamic range and provide better colour accuracy and tonal subtlety plus more scope for precise fine-tuning of image reproduction.

      ID-IV_DIGIC-4

      The new processors also underpin the 5D I Mark IV’s live view shooting and video recording capabilities (more on this below). They also support new functions like face and motion detection, continuous subject tracking and Intelligent Contrast Correction.

      However, the most significant advantage of the new Dual DiG!C 4 chips is a dramatic extension of the camera’s sensitivity range. Whereas the EOS 1D Mark III covered a standard sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 3200 with expansion to ISO 50 (low) and ISO 6400 (high), the Mark IV has a standard ISO range of ISO 100 to 12,800. It maintains the ISO 50 (low) but pushes the high sensitivity options upwards with three additional settings: H1 (ISO 25,600 equivalent), H2 (ISO 51,200 equivalent) and H3 (ISO 102,400 equivalent).

      -
      ID-IV_LCD-ISO-display

      The expanded sensitivity range of the EOS 1D Mark IV is shown in this screen grab. (Source: Canon.)

      These high settings are supported by an improved noise-reduction processing system, making them valuable for photographers who shoot fast moving subjects in low light levels. Photojournalists working in testing conditions as well as sports, wildlife and wedding photographers will all value this new sensitivity range expansion. Continuous flash control will also benefit from the ISO extension through greater coverage of the subject area.

      Initial observations of test shots from the pre-production sample camera showed image quality at the H3 setting to be similar to shots taken with the H2 (ISO 25,600 equivalent) with the EOS 5D Mark II. Image noise was clearly visible as both granularity and colour noise. However, the overall effect was more like film granularity than digital noise per se.

      Despite having over 50% more photosites to provide image data, the EOS 1D Mark IV has been able to maintain the 10 frames/second continuous shooting speed offered by its predecessor. However, Canon is supporting this with a significantly larger buffer memory in the new camera, which can now record up to 120 Large/Normal JPEGs, 30 CR2.RAW files or approximately 20 RAW+JPEG pairs in each burst.

      Like its predecessor, the EOS 1D Mark IV supports both CR2.RAW and JPEG still capture, with four image sizes to choose from: 4896 x 3264, 4320 x 2880, 3552 x 2368 and 2448 x 1632 pixels. The addition of a third raw file format, mRAW, to the Mark III’s raw and sRAW options gives photographers a broader choice of image sizes when shooting raw files. We don’t have details of file sizes as yet but will provide them as soon as this information is available.

      Live View Shooting
      Live View shooting isn’t new to the 1D series as it was introduced with the Mark III model in early 2007. As in the previous model, the reflex mirror in the Mark IV flips up to enable live viewing. However, shooting with Live View has been somewhat enhanced in the new camera, partly because the 920.000-dot Clear View II LCD monitor provides a sharper, clearer and more colour accurate view of the subject and offers greater scope to magnify the shot for checking focus and exposure.

      In the EOS 1D Mark IV, switching between still capture with Live View and movie capture modes is done in the camera’s menu and you can select the various movie resolution settings and frame rates on the same menu page.

      -
      ID-IV_LV-settings

      The Mark IV adds a third Live View mode, Face Detection Live mode, to the Quick and Live modes provided in the Mark II. But that’s not all: autofocusing now is possible with Live View and the new addition supports face detection autofocusing and auto exposure. Different AF systems are used with the three Live View shooting modes.

      ID-IV_AF-Live

      In Quick mode, phase detection AF with a dedicated sensor applies and refocusing is relatively snappy. In Live mode, contrast detection is used and focusing is slightly slower. Face Detection Live mode also uses contrast detection but seeks out faces in the frame.

      Two grid overlay options are provided for photographers who prefer using compositional guides. One is the standard ‘rule-of-thirds’ overlay provided in the Mark II. The other divides the frame into a 6 x 4 block grid that offers higher precision.

      -
      ID-IV_Live-grid-display

      In Live View mode, users can choose between Correct Exposure (which renders the displayed image on the basis of the exposure settings) and Simulated Exposure (which uses the selected aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings to simulate the final exposure. Exposure simulation is only supported for still image capture. (In the Mark II model, this function was a Custom Function.)

      HD Video Recording
      Although video capture has become relatively commonplace in DSLR cameras of late, it remains rare in professional cameras. To date, only the ‘pro-sumer’ EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D and Nikon D3S models support video capture (with the D3S offering a lower 720p resolution than its rivals).

      No professional DSLR camera yet released can match the video resolution and recording flexibility provided by the EOS 1D Mark IV. Like its ‘pro-sumer’ cousins, the EOS 1D Mark IV can record Full HD video at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels in 16:9 aspect ratio with a frame rate of 30 frames/second. It also offers lower resolution settings of 720 p (1280 x 720 pixels) and VGA (640 x 480 pixels.

      As in the EOS 5D II and 7D, video can only be recorded in Live View mode because you can’t use the viewfinder for shooting video when the mirror is up. Custom Fn. IV/11 lets users select one of two ways to engage video recording, with the default being from the Live View shooting mode and an alternative Quick start via the FEL button.

      As in previous Canon DSLRs, video clips are recorded in the popular MPEG-4 format using H.264 compression and soundtracks are recorded monaurally.

      ID-IV_movie-recording

      Interestingly, the new camera provides some worthwhile expansions to the capabilities of the EOS 5D Mark II. Instead of being stuck with a frame rate of 24 frames/second, the Mark IV gives photographers a choice of frame rates, enabling them to shoot 1920 x 1080-pixel video at 30, 25 or 24 frames/second, each with progressive scanning at a rate of approximately 330MB/minute. This setting provides scope for tailoring clips to different applications and video formats.

      -
      ID-IV_movie-sizes

      Movie sizes and frame rate selections. (Source: Canon.)
      The 30-frame progressive format mimics a film camera’s frame-by-frame image capture and gives clarity for high speed subjects. The 25p and 24p frame rates provide clips that are ideal for display on a TV set because they provide a more ‘cinematic’ look with NTSC and PAL standard TV sets. For 720 p (1280 x 720 pixels) and VGA video recording, the choice is between 60 and 50 frames/second frame rates, each providing video that is suitable for video recordings. Recording rates are approximately 330MB/minute and 165MB/minute respectively.

      Most shooting modes can be used for video capture – and photographers have full control over aperture and shutter speed settings as well as recording sensitivity when the mode is set to M. Autofocusing is also supported for video capture, although only in the AF Live and Face Detection Live modes. If the AF Quick mode has been selected the camera will default to AF Live mode. Face Detection remains active if selected.

      ID-IV_AF-Live-modes

      Still pictures can be captured at the pre-set resolution and quality but pressing the shutter button while a movie clip is being recorded. (There’s a brief gap in the recording which is easily covered at the editing stage.)

      The user manual recommends pre-focusing before embarking on a video recording. A built-in ambient light detector controls LCD brightness and counteracts any white balance shifts during video recording. Picture Style settings can also be used for recording video and users can take advantage of image stabilised lenses. The maximum clip size is 4GB, which is roughly equivalent to 4GB and recording will stop at this capacity or when 29 minutes and 59 seconds have elapsed.

      Video clips recorded with the camera can be played back on the LCD monitor. A speaker is now provided for playing back video soundtracks and also voice memos (which could only be played back via computer with the Mark III).

      Autofocusing and Auto-exposure
      The AF system in the EOS 1D Mark IV represents a major advance on the previous mode, with a new 45-point area sensor and many more settings. The new system offers greater precision and improved operability.

      Not only does it have more AF points than the Mark III’s system; the new AF system consists of 39 cross-type points for high accuracy plus six horizontal points that provide additional precision at apertures smaller than f/5.6. All points are individually selectable and they can also be selected in groups comprising 45, 19 or 11 points or the inner or outer nine points.

      A new AI Focus AF setting has been added to the focus mode selections and the AI Servo AF function has been improved to provide better tracking of moving subjects with macro lenses. In addition, Custom Fn. III lets you link selected AF points to vertical and horizontal camera orientations, eliminating the need to change AF point selections when the camera is moved between vertical and horizontal orientation.

      Another new addition is AE Microadjustment, which allows users to fine-tune exposure levels in increments of 1/8EV across a range of +/- 1EV. This function can be used to match the output performance of two or more camera bodies, enabling photographers to work with several bodies and achieve identical results.

      Other Features

      Canon has tweaked some of the Picture Style settings in the new model, although the Neutral and Faithful modes remain essentially unchanged. The Standard, Portrait, Landscape and Monochrome profiles have been given slightly stronger sharpening to meet the requirements of photographers who use these modes for shooting JPEGs.

      A new D+ icon now appears in the viewfinder data display when Highlight Tone priority has been selected in the menu. In addition, the ISO speed icon has been expanded to accommodate up to five digits to display the camera’s increased sensitivity range.

      Slideshow playback has been added to the playback options and the Jump function in playback mode has been extended to cover seven options: 1, 10 or 100 images, date. folder, movies and stills.

      Photographers can also embed copyright information directly into image files via in-camera controls (instead of having to connect the camera to a computer to access this function). A hexadecimal ‘keyboard’ is provided for entering data and users can display copyright information via a setting in the Setup menu.

      The final changes have been to the design of the control buttons, most of which have improved stroke characteristics. The AF/on and AE Lock buttons also protrude slightly higher from the camera body to make them more usable. So does the multi-controller key, which has also been redesigned to provide an improved shape.

      Photo Review will publish a full review of the EOS 1D Mark IV when production units become available in December. We will also announce the pricing for the new camera when this information is released. For more information, visit www.canon.com.au.
