Canon EOS 1DX Mark III Body-3 Jahre CH Garantie

Faster than fast. Speed redefined

There are moments that never repeat themselves. They are over in a fraction of a second and never come back. With the EOS-1D X Mark III, you can capture them at up to 20 fps.

Many exciting moments are gone in a fraction of a second: a sprinter at the finish line or an osprey catching its prey on the surface of the water. You simply can't make a mistake in moments like these. A fraction of a second too early or too late and you've missed the moment and it usually never comes back. For these reasons, we developed the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III.

Continuous shooting at up to 20 fps

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III can capture up to twenty 20.1 megapixel images per second in full-frame format in Live View mode. It uses either the mechanical shutter or an electronic shutter, which enables extremely quiet shooting.

When working with the camera's optical viewfinder, up to 16 images per second are possible - an extraordinary achievement for a DSLR camera that could only be achieved thanks to Canon's enormous experience in the field of mechanics. The drive motors that move the mirror up and down are so precisely tuned that the mirror returns to its original position with virtually no mirror bounce.

The shutter of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is designed for approx. 500,000 shutter releases. This is a whole new level of speed and reliability, giving professionals peace of mind even in stressful situations.

Real-time vision

With the first-class optical viewfinder of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, you can see what's happening in front of the camera without any delay. This real-time view allows you to react faster and capture the moment that others, however fast their electronic viewfinder, miss.

The power of DIGIC X

A single DIGIC X image processor is at the heart of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III. This processor is significantly more powerful than previous DIGIC processors and enables the incredible speed of the LIGER. In addition to excellent image quality in virtually any shooting condition, the DIGIC X also enables continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second with full AF/AE and in-camera DLO processing.

Intelligent AF that really impresses

Capture crisp and sharp images. The deep-learning AF algorithms recognise a wide variety of situations and even track faces hidden behind glasses or helmet visors.

Whether you're working with the sensational optical viewfinder of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III or the 7.62 cm touchscreen LCD, you can't help but notice the enormous speed and precision of the revolutionary AF system. The deep-learning algorithms have been programmed to recognise different types of sport. And the face and eye recognition has been optimised so that it now also works for people wearing glasses and helmets.

No matter how fast the action is, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is faster when it adjusts the focus to get you the perfect shot.

Special image sensor and processor for focussing

With the introduction of the EOS 650 in 1987, we revolutionised the SLR market with the CMOS AF line sensor. It was so powerful that it is still used in DSLRs today, and the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III takes it one step further with its new technology.

When you use the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III's optical viewfinder to compose your shot and control the focus, you'll experience a real revolution in focus performance. A special CMOS image sensor is available exclusively for autofocus and improves accuracy and precision thanks to significantly more focus points in the viewfinder. Fast AF processing is handled by the dedicated DIGIC 8 processor. Its only task is to take care of AF when the optical viewfinder is in use.

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III has 191 AF points, 155 of which are cross-type sensors designed for extra sensitivity - perfect for ensuring correct focus on dynamic subjects in sports and wildlife photography, even in low light. These AF points can be used individually for highly selective focussing. For example, in small groups and zones that can be arranged within the image section or to allow the camera to determine the best points for automatic focussing.

The behaviour of the camera's continuous focusing can be optimally adapted depending on the type of task. Four basic settings are available for this and there is now the new Auto Case setting, which automatically provides the most suitable behaviour for the task in hand.

Mirror system

To ensure that the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III can focus precisely even during fast continuous shooting, it has a completely newly developed mirror system. It is important that the camera's mirror returns to its resting position as quickly as possible between shots and ensures precise guidance of the light onto the AF sensor without mirror bounce. This process is repeated up to 16 times per second inside the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III - an extraordinary feat of sophisticated precision engineering.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

When the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III is used like a mirrorless camera, automatic focussing in Live View mode works in perfect harmony with the proven Dual Pixel CMOS AF system. This means that practically every pixel on the camera sensor simultaneously serves as an image pixel and as an AF pixel for phase detection.

The Dual Pixel CMOS AF is particularly fast when capturing single images and moving objects are tracked precisely within the image section when recording video - the films therefore appear visually much smoother, which enables professional pull-focus effects from one object to another.

Thanks to the implementation of Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III offers AF pixels over the entire height of the sensor and over 90 per cent of the width. Performance has been increased to a level that allows you to continuously focus faster and more accurately with continuous shooting at up to 20 frames per second. The intelligent algorithms of Deep-learning AF are not only available when using the camera in viewfinder mode. They are also available to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF. You can therefore be sure that the critical focus is always maintained on moving subjects, whether animals or people.

Impressive images in low light

A DIGIC X processor and 20-megapixel sensor offer incredible low-light performance up to ISO 102,400, expandable to 812,600, and the EOS-1D X Mark III delivers exceptional dynamic range.

Good light, low light or virtually no light at all, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III delivers excellent results in any condition. From the depth of detail in dark areas to the precision of the colours, the images are always impressive.

Tailor-made 20.1 megapixel CMOS sensor

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III utilises the latest generation of our advanced CMOS image sensor technology. The 20.1 megapixel full-frame sensor was developed specifically for this camera and offers optimum image quality, performance and operating speed.

Compared to its predecessor, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III offers increased dynamic range, better noise reduction at all ISO settings and faster image data readout. The native ISO sensitivity ranges from ISO 100 to ISO 812,900 and can be extended up to an incredible ISO 50-812,600. The camera thus sets new standards in terms of low-light properties.

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III also offers a Gaussian low-pass filter (TPF), which suppresses moiré even more effectively than standard TPF designs, while ensuring even sharper and more detailed images.

DIGIC X image processor

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III utilises a single DIGIC X processor that delivers a whole new level of performance for professionals who don't want to compromise. The processor has also set a new standard in terms of energy efficiency. The battery range is twice as long as that of the EOS-1D X Mark II.

This also means that you can take continuous shots at up to 20 fps in Live View mode, or 16 fps with the optical viewfinder of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III with full AF and AE tracking, and the buffer memory is sufficient for more than 1,000 shots in a sequence. But the DIGIC X is more than just fast.

The DIGIC X ensures less image noise at all ISO settings, more sharpness thanks to an innovative adjustment of clarity and more dynamic range thanks to an optimisation of Automatic Exposure Optimisation and Tone Priority + technology.

The DIGIC X is the brain for the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III's Deep-learning AF and also controls the in-camera processes of the Digital Lens Optimiser. The image processor corrects optical errors that cannot be compensated for by the lens design alone, such as aberrations and diffraction. As the Digital Lens Optimiser does not affect the speed of the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III in any way, it can now also be used for sports and wildlife photography at top speeds.

Various file formats

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III offers an enormous selection of file formats, so you can always use the format that is best suited to your task.

CR3 RAW files

The CR3 RAW file format is now also available for the EOS-1D series.

• The recording can be uncompressed with a higher dynamic range and 16,384 gradations per colour channel, which further improves the image quality. An ideal solution if the images need to be heavily edited during post-production.
It can also be compressed so that the file size is reduced by up to 40% and the image quality is hardly noticeably affected directly from the camera.

CR3 RAW files are supported by our Digital Photo Professional software, which is included free of charge with the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, as well as third-party software from e.g. Adobe or Apple.

JPEG and HEIF files

If you need to transfer files quickly, there is nothing better than the JPEG format, at least until now. The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III also enables the recording of HEIF files (High efficiency Image Format), which are based on the HVEC video codec.

HEIF files offer better image quality compared to JPEG with almost the same file size. This format also enables 10-bit colour for a higher dynamic range, so that HDR PQ images can also be captured.

The compatibility of HEIF files is constantly expanding. However, this file format can also be converted in-camera to a standard JPEG.

Extremely precise exposure metering

A special 400,000 pixel RGB+IR light metering sensor sets a completely new standard in terms of exposure precision. The 400,000 pixels are divided into 216 measuring ranges. When working with the camera's optical viewfinder, the brightness in each zone is measured individually and the exposure is determined accordingly with maximum precision.

This metering sensor sees in colour just like you do. It can also recognise faces and other objects and helps the AF system to focus on them when they move in the frame.

The sensor recognises both infrared and visible light. This means that objects that strongly reflect infrared light are also recognised, which is then compensated for when calculating the exposure. The infrared sensitivity also prevents errors in autofocus, for example in shooting situations with different light sources, and optimises precision in automatic white balance, Picture Style Auto, automatic exposure optimisation and flicker detection.

E-TTL Balance

The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III's 400,000 pixel RGB+IR metering sensor also enables even more precise flash exposure compensation and features a new E-TTL option that allows photographers to control the balance between ambient and flash light.

A convincing film camera

In terms of video recording, the EOS-1D X Mark III fits into virtually any workflow. It shoots 4K 60p or 5.5K RAW video, which opens up completely new possibilities.

The lighting ratio can be switched between ambient light priority (natural light is the predominant light source and the flash serves as fill light) and flash priority (vice versa). A standard mode is also available in which the flash and ambient light have a roughly identical proportion, similar to most other EOS cameras.

The LIGER can also record 5.5K RAW video internally to the CFexpress cards, giving filmmakers unrivalled image quality. More natural colour gradations and more dynamic range Details are displayed in bright and dark areas of the image in a range of 12 f-stops.

These CRM files with 5,472 x 2,886 pixels can be processed with the Digital Photo Pro software. It is included with the camera, and editing software from leading third-party providers also supports this format. The LIGER can also simultaneously record 4K proxy files, which can be used to speed up the post-production workflow.

Full HD recordings with Dual Pixel AF and frame rates of up to 120 fps are also possible. This is ideal for slow motion effects at 1/4 speed.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

When shooting video, Dual Pixel CMOS AF ensures smooth focusing on the subject, which can be selected by tapping the screen (or on the screen of a mobile device connected to the camera via the Canon Camera Connect app).* Faces and other objects are recognised and focus is tracked smoothly on moving subjects. You can choose which eye the focus system should prioritise or leave this to the camera, which then selects the eye closest to the camera.

* Dual Pixel CMOS AF works in all modes except uncropped 4K or RAW at 60p/50p.

Focus peaking

When focusing manually, Focus Peaking indicates which areas of the image are in focus by outlining them in colour. The depth of field is also displayed by highlighting the area in focus at the selected aperture.

Image stabilisation for video recordings

Movie Digital IS offers very effective 5-axis image stabilisation for freehand video recordings, compensating for camera shake. An advanced mode also recognises and corrects unintentional camera movements that occur when walking with the camera, for example when walking alongside the subject.

The results are simply superbly smooth, steady, professional video recordings that can compete with the films of any specialised high-end video camera.

Extraction of high-resolution individual images

Single images with 8.8 megapixels can be extracted from 4K videos. All you have to do is play the corresponding film on the camera display in slow motion and then press the shutter button to extract the desired individual image. This is an interesting option for capturing very fast-moving subjects, which you can record at 4K 60p and then generate the desired photos from the video.

Creative filmmakers and visual storytellers can use the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III to shoot full-frame 4K video at 60 frames per second. Footage is recorded internally with 10-bit HEVC/H.265 Canon Log codec or 12-bit RAW for extended dynamic range and easy grading in post-production.

4K recordings and 5.5K RAW

Whatever your post-processing workflow, the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III offers the right shooting format with a whole new level of image quality and creativity.

4K/60p DCI video with oversampling is captured across the entire sensor width* the lens shows the same image in video and stills. The Canon EOS-1D X Mark III can record 17:9 DCI or 16:9 UHD and record the results in H.264 codec or as 10-bit H.265 codec with Canon Log. Such recordings are deliberately lower in contrast to make grading easier in post-production.
