 Newly developed by Canon, this large CMOS sensor is at the top of its class with 10.1 million effective pixels. A wide ISO speed range and low noise are realized through innovations like redesigned microlenses and enhanced output amp performance. On-chip noise reduction automatically engages when noise is detected (“Auto”), and can be engaged for exposures of 1 sec. or longer (“On”). Also designed for the EOS 400D DIGITAL are new automatic cleaning functions that reduce dust throughout the sensor unit to assure image clarity.
DIGIC II, Canon’s exclusive imaging technology, processes large amounts of data from the APS-C size CMOS sensor at high speed to deliver images of exceptional definition and smooth gradations. Color reproduction is quite natural, false colors are reduced, and white balance is highly precise. This refined imaging system contributes to user-friendly operation in any lighting situation while keeping power consumption minimal.
Offering improved viewing and operability, the EOS 400D DIGITAL has a 2.5-inch TFT LCD color monitor with approximately 230,000 pixels to accommodate large fonts in menus and a remarkable viewing angle of 160°. Picture quality and brightness are therefore equally maintained from almost any viewing angle — front and center or upward angle. Brightness is now yours to command in seven levels, with the highest even surpassing that of professional models. Such variable display enables easy image verification in bright outdoor settings as well as low-lit interiors, right after shooting.
New display button (“DISP.”), power lamp, Display Off Sensor, and improved information display make the EOS 400D DIGITAL more user-friendly. Replacing the previous information button, the display button verifies camera setting and shooting data. A new ON/OFF function for the button enhances operation ease while saving energy. Another energy-saving feature is the power lamp, which in a glance reveals the startup state, even when the LCD monitor is off. And if monitor glare is annoying when looking through the viewfinder, you’re sure to appreciate the Display Off Sensor. Located under the eyepiece, it detects the approach of your face and turns off the LCD.
 
From the new mode name/icon display and battery power display format to a new camera setting screen GUI, EOS 400D DIGITAL functionality has had a comprehensive makeover to ensure every user, from amateur to professional level, can shoot with ease and maximum comfort.
For smooth operation and flexibility needed for creative expression, the EOS 400D DIGITAL has a 9-point AF sensor that enables fast and high-precision focus detection plus enlarged subject coverage. Convenient cross keys provide fast and easy AF point selection. For more accurate shooting and additional flexibility, focusing points are in a diamond-shaped layout with a central AF point offering cross-type focusing, regardless of lens brightness. In addition, higher precision focusing is possible when using lenses brighter than f/2.8. Such variable focusing enables quick adjustment for a variety of compositions and shooting situations.
The EOS 400D DIGITAL starts up and gets ready to shoot in just 0.2 seconds to capture photo opportunities when they arise. Accelerated image processing of DIGIC II and high-speed data reading from the CMOS sensor enable fast continuous shooting at 3 fps for a maximum of 27 shots, even in JPEG Large/Fine (10 shots in RAW). With such responsiveness and speed, the EOS 400D DIGITAL is ready when you are, to seize the moment to take the perfect shot.
To assure fine photo results, Canon employs dust-resistant materials and structures to dramatically reduce dust generation within the EOS 400D DIGITAL. Measures also are taken to prevent dust from adhering to the sensor due to static electricity. A remarkable new function is the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit that actually vibrates the low-pass filter to remove dust particles from it. Additionally, by targeting image data for leftover dust after cleaning, the Dust Delete Function within the bundled software can be used after shooting to remove dust spots that may remain on the captured image. For photos that are consistently distinct and clear, this dust reduction system is essential.
Unwanted shadows on photos can be caused by dust that isn’t actually on the sensor but on the low-pass filter (LPF) in front of it. Though cleaning can be manually selected by menu, automatic cleaning by ultrasonic vibration of the LPF is activated for about one second when the power is turned on or off. As shooting priority occurs on start-up, pressing the shutter button disables the self-cleaning operation and returns the camera to shooting mode. Dust falling off the filter during cleaning adheres to the sticky material of the retaining component at the LPF base.
A selection of six style settings matched to the subject or desired shooting objective is simple as choosing film for a film camera. Press the SET button while in Creative Zone modes and a Picture Style selection screen offers six presets (Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, Monochrome) plus three user-defined styles. Image characteristics ranging from beautiful skin tones to sepia allow you to adapt easily to shooting conditions and focus on your photographic aims.
Also assuring smooth creative control are “Picture Style files” for function expansion. Downloaded from Canon’s website and registered in the EOS 400D DIGITAL via bundled software, files like “Nostalgia,” “Clear,” “Twilight,” “Emerald,” and “Autumn Hues” offer image characteristics for optimal results from rare shooting conditions.

The EOS 400D DIGITAL comes bundled with the EOS DIGITAL Solution disk and applications like Digital Photo Professional (DPP) with Dust Delete Function and Zoom/Image Browser — all designed to work seamlessly for optimizing captured images and streamlining your digital workflow. DPP 2.2 for EOS 400D DIGITAL offers new advantages. The software now uses dust delete data of an image to locate specified dust spots and automatically erase them for crisp and clean photos. RGB Tone Curve Assist Function has an enhanced high mode. Last but not least, noise reduction settings are expanded to include JPEG images as well as RAW. These are among Canon’s solutions for finished photos that satisfy your aim.
EOS 400D DIGITAL also lets you make the most of advanced Canon technology and its compatibility with over 50 EF lenses that pair up with Speedlites for faithful image capture in a variety of shooting conditions. Battery Grip BG-E3 and other accessories make the EOS 400D DIGITAL comfortable and portable. In more ways than one, the EOS 400D DIGITAL gives you the power and ease to take you to the next level and help realize your photographic potential.
