The Canon EOS 5DS is a Professional DSLR with a Full-Frame sensor and a Canon EF lens mount. Its 50 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 100-6400 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 50-12800. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in relatively low-light. With 50 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to at 240 DPI.
This camera features a mechanic shutter that can expose for 1/8000 to 30s. Bulb exposures of an unspecified duration are possible with this camera. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/8000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.
The Canon EOS 5DS features a 61-point Phase-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
Dual controls-dials offer direct access to most exposure parameters which makes this digital camera suitable for advanced photographers. The weatherproof construction of this digital camera protects it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Framing on the Canon EOS 5DS is performed via an extra large reflex optical viewfinder with 0.71X magnification and 100% coverage.
