| Type and Major Components | |
| Type | 35mm autofocus/auto exposure single-lens reflex camera with focal-plane shutter, built-in motor drive and built-in flash. |
| Compatible lenses | Canon EF lenses |
| Lens Mount | Canon EF mount with fully-electronic signal-transfer system. |
| Viewfinder | Fixed eye-level pentaprism. Gives 90% picture coverage vertically, and 92% horizontally and 0.71X magnification (with 50mm lens focused at infinity). |
| Dioptric Adjustment | Adjusted to -1 diopter. |
| Focusing Screen | Fixed, New Laser-matte screen with focusing points and depth of field preview mark (50E only). |
| Shutter | Vertical-travel, focal-plane shutter with all speeds electronically-controlled. |
| Shutter Speed | 30 to 1/4000 sec. (in half steps) and bulb. |
| Autofocus | |
| AF Control System | TTL- CT-SIR (Through-the-Lens Cross-Type Secondary Image Registration) with multiple BASIS (Base-Stored Image Sensor) with the following 4 possible settings: 1. One-Shot AF, 2. Al Servo AF, 3. Al Focus AF and 4. Manual focusing: |
| AF Working Range | EV 0-18 (at ISO 100). |
| Focusing point selection | The focus point can be selected: |
| 1. Automatic: Camera-selected. 2. Manual: User selected with button and dial. 3. Eye-controlled: User-selected by eye movement (EOS 50E Models ONLY) |
|
| AF-assist beam | Built-in AF-assist beam emitted automatically at the current focusing point area. |
| Exposure Control | |
| Metering System | TTL metering at maximum aperture
with a 6-zone SPC (silicon photocell). 1. Evaluative metering (linked to focusing point) 2. Approx. 9.5-percent partial metering 3. Centerweighted averaging metering |
| Metering Range | EV 1-20 (at 20°C and normal humidity with a 60mm f/1.4 lens, ISO 100) |
| Exposure Modes | 1. Intelligent Program AE (shiftable) 2. Shutter speed-priority AE 3. Aperture-priority AE 4. Depth-of-field AE (shiftable) 5. Full Auto (non-shiftable) 6. Programmed Image Control modes (4 modes: Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports.) 7. Auto flash exposure: E-TTL program flash AE with Speedlite 380EX, TTL program with the built-in flash, A-TTL and TTL program flash AE with other EOS-dedicated Speedlites 8. Metered manual. |
| Camera Shake Warning | Provided with Full Auto and Programmed Image Control modes. Shutter speed display blinks if the shutter speed is slower than the reciprocal of the lens focal length by more than one-half stop. |
| ISO Film Speed Range | Adjusts for ISO speeds ranging from 6-6400 (ISO25-5000 are set automatically for DX-coded film) |
| Exposure Compensation | ±2 stops in half stops. |
| Auto Exposure Bracketing | ±2 stops in half stops for correct exposure, underexposure, and overexposure in single-frame or continuous shooting mode. |
| Film Transport | |
| Film Loading | Automatic. After film is loaded and the back is closed, the film advances to frame 1 automatically. |
| Film Advance | Depending on the mode selected, the film advances automatically by either a single-frame or continuously (Approx. 2.5 frames per sec. max.) |
| Film Rewind | Automatic at the end of the roll. |
