Battery Information

Battery-use History

Additional sRAW formats with lower resolution allow you to shoot images for use on the web, or increase the number of RAW photos you can fit on a memory card, without sacrificing the post processing advantages found in Canon’s provided Digital Photo Professional software, such as white balance adjustment, exposure compensation, Picture Style settings, and lens distortion corrections.

For added convenience and organization, both cameras also allow you to create new folders on CF cards and to freely select which folder upcoming images will be stored in. By selecting the menu protect function, individual images can be protected from accidental erasure, or you can checkmark multiple images for deletion and remove them all at once. When either the EOS 50D or EOS 5D Mark II is used with the appropriate dedicated optional wireless file

transmitter, image recording can be set to simultaneously record images to the CF card or external USB drives attached to the transmitter.

Intelligent lithium-ion battery on EOS 5D Mark II

While the EOS 50D continues to use the same 1390mAh BP-511A Lithium-ion battery as its predecessor, the EOS 5D Mark II utilizes a higher capacity 1800mAh lithium-ion Battery Pack LP-E6 with new capabilities. The battery can now communicate the remaining capacity in one of six levels via the battery-check icon and in 1% increments using the Battery Info menu. The number of shutter releases since the battery was last recharged is also dis- played, and stored in the battery in case it is removed. Recharging the battery resets the shutter count. Battery recharge performance is also shown in up to three levels, giving a better indication of when it might be time to replace the battery altogether.

The unique serial number contained within each Battery Pack LP-E6 allows you to register multiple batteries within the camera and display information about those batteries, including the last time each was used and its most recent level of charge at that time. More importantly, it can help you select a replacement battery based on its charge capacity so that you don’t install a nearly depleted battery at the wrong time.

Image Enhancement High ISO Noise Reduction

High ISO noise reduction can be set to improve image quality at high ISO settings on both cameras. While some noise reduction is applied automatically even to images taken at low ISOs, turning on this function can further reduce noise in low and moderately low ISO images, especially those taken in very hot environments where heat tends to increase camera noise.
