Welcome to the next generation of
digital SLR photography-the Canon EOS 40D. The EOS 40D combines
Canon's tremendous know-how in both the digital and photographic
worlds, creating a camera that not only does everything one would
expect of a traditional digital SLR, but one that incorporates
staggering leaps forward in technological innovation. With new
features like Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System, Live View
Function, a more powerful DIGIC III Image Processor, plus a
10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 3.0-inch LCD monitor and more, the EOS
40D elevates digital photography to new heights, enhancing the
shooting experience, and delivering images one could only expect
from a Canon.

Power and versatility in one
supremely equipped tool for the discerning photographer. Step up to
the challenge of 6.5fps, 10.1 Megapixels and a host of features
designed to help you raise your game.

Features for Canon EOS 40D
10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
Canon’s CMOS sensor gives the camera a wide dynamic range, retaining
subtle details in shadow and highlight areas. An improved pixel
design and on-chip noise reduction ensure clean, crisp images
throughout the ISO range. Images are converted at 14 bits for finer
gradations and superior colour reproduction.
6.5 fps shooting
The EOS 40D captures up to 6.5 frames per second for a continuous
burst of up to 75 large JPEG images (17 in RAW).
Wide-area AF with 9 cross type
points
The high precision AF system employs 9 cross type points for precise
focusing on both horizontal and vertical planes. The central AF
point offers sensitivity up to f/2.8. Points are spread out across
the AF frame to better accommodate off-centre subjects.

3.0" LCD with Live View mode
The bright 3.0" LCD provides pin-sharp definition for checking focus
and composition, with 10x magnification for finer details. When
shooting from awkward positions, Live View mode gives you the option
of framing your image from the LCD.
DIGIC III processor
Fast and highly accurate, DIGIC III processes images at 14 bits for
finer colour gradations. DIGIC III minimizes power consumption for
prolonged battery life and delivers instant 0.15 second start up
time.
sRAW
In addition to retaining the RAW image capture capabilities of its
predecessors, the EOS 40D SLR now offers a more manageable "sRAW"
recording format. In sRAW mode, the number of pixels is reduced to
one-fourth that of a standard RAW image and the file size is cut in
half, while retaining all of the flexibility and creative
possibilities associated with full-size, conventional RAW images.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon’s built-in dust prevention and cleaning system works to keep
the sensor clean. A combination of technologies reduces, repels and
removes dust and includes a Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit that shakes
dust from the sensor with each power on.
Picture Style
Picture Style presets provide easy control over image processing
parameters. Each style offers a different colour response. Picture
Style presets are customizable in-camera or through the supplied
Picture Style Editor software.
Magnesium alloy body
A durable magnesium alloy body with environmental seals protects the
camera from the rigours of heavy use.
EF lenses and accessories
The EOS 40D is compatible with over 60 EF and EF-S lenses, and all
EX Series Speedlite flash units. Wireless shooting and remote file
transfers are possible with the optional Wireless File Transmitter
WFT-E3.
Connectivity
Video Out allows reviewing on a TV screen. Connect with USB 2.0
Hi-speed for fast data transfers.
