1)Take a test shot using the flash. The TestShooting window automatically opens showing
the photographed image.
2)Set Click White Balance for a suitable location in the displayed image.
3)Take the test shot again using the flash.
The resultsof step 2 are applied and stored in the camera and then applied to the
testshooting results.
Checkthe resulting shot in the test window. The image in the TestShooting window is
updated each time one takesa test shot and is automatically deleted when the Test
Shooting window isclosed. However, one can save the image by clicking the Save button.
One can also use thisfunction for shots taken using ambient light.
Another new, Live View Function related feature isQuick Preview. Until now, image
checking for remote shooting using EOSUtility has been achieved by transferring images
to DPP (DigitalPhoto Professional) or ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser, which launch
automatically. Asa result, there has always been a time lag of several seconds between
shooting and image checking. The new QuickPreview function is Canon’s response to
user requestsfor a shortening of this time lag.
In EOSUtility ver.2.2, users can check the
resultsof remote shooting immediately in a
QuickPreview window that automatically
appearsafter the shot is taken. The default
windowsize is 600 x 428 pixels, but one can
adjustthe window to any size, including full-
screen. Note thatthe Quick Preview window
alwaysshows the last shot one took.
One can choose whether toshowor hide the
QuickPreview window by clicking the Show/Hide Quick Preview button in the Capture
window. The QuickPreview function can be used by all cameras thatare compatible
with EOSUtility ver.2.2, even if Live View Function is not involved.
The shutterunit is the same as that of the EOS-1D Mark III,
with a durabilityof 300,000 cycles. Because of the larger
frame size, flash syncis 1/250 sec. rather than the 1/300
sec. ofthe EOS-1D Mark III with EOS Speedlites.
