How Shutr Scout tailors settings to your EOS-1D X Mark II

  • Because the EOS-1D X Mark II has a full-frame sensor, so there is no crop factor and you get the shallowest depth of field at any given aperture, Shutr Scout factors that into depth-of-field guidance and how it balances aperture against shutter and ISO.
  • Without in-body stabilization, Shutr Scout leans toward faster shutter speeds hand-held to keep your shots sharp.
  • Its autofocus is phase or contrast autofocus without subject detection, so Shutr Scout uses the right focus mode and area for what you are shooting.
  • It knows the body's native ISO ceiling (51,200) and fastest shutter (1/8000s), so it never recommends a setting your EOS-1D X Mark II cannot actually use.
  • For video, it accounts for the EOS-1D X Mark II's frame-rate limits (4K up to 30fps, 1080p up to 60fps) before applying the shutter rule for natural motion.

Too bright or too dark? One tap adjusts it while keeping your look.
