Improved menu system including Quick Control Screen for direct access to common settings are available in this camera. Automatic peripheral illumination correction, utilizing EF lens information to optimize JPEG images are one of the accessible features in this menu.
Various shooting modes ranging from landscape, portrait mode, neutral, faithful, portrait and monochrome with exposure control type landscape, portrait mode are its other features.
Video capture is part of the camera’s Live View function, using the Picture Style that has been set for Live View still image shooting. This allows EOS 5D Mark II photographers to shoot from awkward angles where photographers and cinematographers have to adjust image sharpness, contrast, color saturation and white balance, and have those settings apply to the movie image. When recording video, the camera’s rear LCD screen can be letter-boxed by a semi-transparent border to match the aspect ratio of the movie recording size.
A 9-point auto focus system is supported by 6 additional invisible Assist AF points, located inside the spot-metering circle to optimise subject tracking performance in AI SERVO AF mode. For accurate exposure readings in tricky lighting conditions, the spot metering circle covers 3.5 percent of the frame.6.4µm2 pixels have been redesigned to capture light and yield a signal to noise ratio throughout the ISO range.
The DIGIC 4 processor combined with 14-bit analogue to digital conversion provides
gradations in mono-tonal areas such as skies, and highly accurate color rendition. As well as HD movie shooting, DIGIC 4’s high speed provides for continuous bursts of large JPEGs and immediate review after shooting. DIGIC 4 also provides for noise reduction algorithms.
The EOS 5D Mark II is incorporates full HD 1920×1080 video capture. Once filming is started from Live View mode, photographers can fire off either single of continuous stills, with video capture continuing after the final frame is captured. The 3.0-inch VGA resolution LCD screen brightness can be adjusted to suit viewing conditions.

The EOS 5D Mark II’s redesigned menu system includes a Quick Control screen for access to the commonly changed settings. A Creative Auto mode allows photographers to cede control of key settings to the camera, while retaining control over creative variables such background blur, drive mode and image brightness. Custom user settings allow photographers to switch between two completely different camera setups.
A new wireless file transmitter ,WFT-E4, is a special feature which offers external HDD and GPS compatibility. It can transmit images direct to computer or FTP server, or operate the camera wirelessly. Both the BG-E6 and WFT-E4 feature a vertical orientation shutter release and other key controls for portraiture work, with a grip to help balance the camera when used with long lenses.
For photographers seeking the possibilities of shooting RAW format images without the large file size, the camera offers two file size options with sRAW1 and sRAW2 recording formats. At the sRAW1 setting, resolution is 10.0-megapixels with a file size that is approximately 25 percent smaller than a standard 21.1-megapixel RAW image. With the sRAW2 setting, resolution is 5.2 megapixels at less than half the file size of a standard RAW image, retaining all possibilities associated with conventional RAW images. Wedding and portrait photographers especially will appreciate the options of variable resolution and file size which allow them to fine-tune the 5D Mark II’s operation for their specific needs.
