VI. INTELLIGENT BUNDLED SOFTWARE 47

New Features in Unlike many competitive DSLR models that come with only basic download and view software EOS Utility and DPP applications, both the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 50D comes bundled with Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP) version 3.5, a powerful—and free—RAW conversion and optimization

utility. DPP features an intuitive user interface and an integrated browser that speeds the selection, cropping, and export of both RAW and JPEG images, either as single images or as multiple images in batch processing mode. Among its powerful RAW conversion utilities, DPP contains sophisticated exposure and white balance controls, adjustable Picture Style settings, noise reduction controls and lens aberration correction with more power than the camera’s built-in Peripheral Illumination Correction (PIC) function. There’s also Chromatic Aberration correction for RAW images which can be applied before they’re processed.

RAW images from the EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II require DPP version 3.5 or higher. But DPP v.3.5 is also compatible with RAW files from previous EOS Digital SLRs, going back as far as the 3.0-megapixel EOS D30. Version 3.5 can also process RAW images from the compact PowerShot G10 camera (however, it cannot process RAW files from earlier PowerShot models).

In addition to DPP, both cameras will include the following programs on the EOS Digital
