The new camera
offers a range of camera features including fully automatic operation with 11 shooting
modes; a high-speed, high-performance 3-point autofocusing system; a 35-zone evaluative
metering sensor linked to each focusing point; 13 Custom Functions; 7 white balance
modes for optimum color renditions; a built-in USB interface; a PC socket for studio-type
strobes; and a built-in E-TTL flash system ó a first in an EOS System camera. The
camera also allows high-speed shooting at a speed of approximately 3 frames per second
for up to 8 continuous images at the default image quality setting.
Image data is stored on CompactFlash cards, permitting
the storage of up to approximately 12 pictures on a 16MB card when shooting in the
"Large/Normal" mode. The camera is also compatible with the CompactFlash
Type II card, enabling users to take advantage of the IBM Microdrive and other high-capacity
storage media. The lithium ion Battery Pack BP-511, which is included with the camera,
provides enough power to take approximately 540 images while in the Large/Fine mode.
The EOS D30 is bundled with a variety of image management, editing, compositing and
printing software including Canon's exclusive TWAIN driver software; ZoomBrowser
for acquiring, viewing, filing and printing captured images; PhotoStitch for creating
panoramas; and PhotoShop LE retouching software. All packaged software will run on
Windows (95/98/2000/NT 4.0) and Macintosh (Mac OS 7.5.3 or higher, QuickTime 2.1
or higher).
