Features

edit

New features over the Canon EOS-1D X are:

  • DCI 4K (4096×2160) with up to 60 fps (59.94 fps) up to 29'59" (4K can only be recorded internally in MJPEG, the HDMI output is limited to 1080p)[5]
  • Continuous shooting rate of up to 14 frames per second with full autofocus; 16 fps in live view with locked focus and exposure. These rates are available when using the new LP-E19 battery. The EOS-1D X Mk II accepts the LP-E4N batteries of the Mk I and LP-E4 batteries of the 1D Mark IV, but burst mode reverts to the Mk I maximum of 12/14 fps.
  • Full HD video (1920×1080) up to 120 fps (119.9 fps)
  • All AF points support to a maximum aperture of f/8[6]
  • Digital lens optimizer for JPEG shooting.
  • AI Servo AF III
  • Continuous red illumination of all AF points
  • Support for CFast (a variant of CompactFlash) memory cards
  • Built-in GPS used for geotag information and syncing to UTC time[7]
  • One additional stop of ISO range with it being expandable to 409600
  • Anti-flicker feature (introduced with the EOS 7D Mark II) – camera can be set to adjust the moment of exposure to compensate for flickering electric lighting
  • A touchscreen LCD, which allows videographers to select the camera's AF point before and during video recording.
  • Wi-Fi for wireless file transfer (with wireless transmitter)[7]
