Canon 1Dx Book?

pemmett

Does anyone know if there is a book on the Canon 1Dx apart from the manual that comes with it? I'm struggling to understand some of the settings and wondered if anyone had heard of a book that is out or is coming out? Thanks.

I know there's a free Canon PDF document that specifically deals with the focusing systems and settings. The 1Dx and the 5D3 are basically the same in that regard, and it can better explain that system for both models.

Search for "Canon EOS-1Dx AF Setting Guidbook" (46 pages long)

I don't know of any specific book but why not look at the 1Dx section on the POTN forum or simply google "Canon 1Dx settings" if you're interested in the best custom settings for shooting sports or video, etc.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have doubts that anyone is going to publish a book for this, but using the links and search words provided will help me learn more. Cheers.

Canon has announced new firmware for the 1DX due out in December.

Some of those videos can be loaded on a CF card and then viewed on the LCD of the 1DX as well.

Apparently, Canon has updated their expected delivery date for Ver 2.0

Thanks for the heads up!
