This makes it the highest pixel density of any Canon DSLR to date, because even though the 5D Mark II has a slightly higher pixel-count, it’s more than compensated by its physically larger full-frame sensor. Starting with the headline specification, the EOS 7D is equipped with a brand new 18 Megapixel CMOS sensor, compared to 12.3 on the D300 and 15.1 on the EOS 50D. As such it’s Canon’s best-featured APS-C DSLR to date, and pitched directly against Nikon’s D300s. Instead it sticks with the smaller APS-C sized sensor of the consumer DSLR ranges, but complements it with a wealth of professional features that go beyond the existing EOS 50D and in some respects even the EOS 5D Mark II. As such it doesn’t replace an existing model and the EOS 50D will continue to be available.ĭespite having a single digit name, the 7D does not feature a full-frame sensor. Announced in September 2009, it represents a new product category for Canon, positioned between the existing EOS 50D and EOS 5D Mark II models. If there's a way to do that, I haven't found it.Canon’s EOS 7D is the company’s latest semi-pro DSLR, featuring 18 Megapixels, HD video and 8fps continuous shooting. I'd like to be able to quickly set them back to the way they were without having to plod my way through the menus. I'm thinking more of when I drop cameras off at the Canon shop for cleaning, as I do at least once a year, and they come back reset to factory settings. I guess I'm one of them, but it's beside the point. Note: the 7D Mk II has an option so that changes made while you are in C1, C2, or C3 will always be saved to the C mode you are in. I don't like that, but, some people wrote:

From then on C2 will reflect the settings. Now you can just go to C2 change the ISO setting and the resave C2. Say you decide you now want C2 to be Av with Auto ISO after having set it as described above. When you want to tweak your C1, C2, or C3 settings you can be in that mode too. If you want Av with fixed ISO set the camera dial to Av and the ISO you want, then save it to C2, then in the future C2 will be Av with preset ISO. For example if you want Manual mode with Auto ISO, you would set the camera dial to M set Auto ISO, then save it to C1, then in the future C1 will be M with Auto ISO. Note: You don't have to be, or often don't want to be in C1, C2 or C3 when you are saving the settings.

That way when you get something that works you can go back to those exact settings later simply by turning the knob to C1, C2, or C3. You can save the complete camera state including custom function settings to C1, C2, or C3 on your camera. Is there anyway to backup the camera settings?Įither Canon or aftermarket windows software? Been searching, but haven't found any info.
