Canon EOS 70D 20.2 MP Digital SLR
Camera with Dual Pixel CMOS AF
The Next Generation in
Live View AF.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF. The EOS 70D features Canon’s all-new Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a
revolutionary leap forward in speed and accuracy that unlocks the potential of
Live View shooting. This game-changing technology will forever change what is
possible with a DSLR camera.
Shoot Video Like a
Camcorder. The benefits of the
groundbreaking Dual Pixel CMOS AF are clearly evident in video shooting, where
bringing scenes and subjects into focus is a critical element of the final
composition. On the EOS 70D, Dual Pixel CMOS AF helps ensure focus is achieved
naturally and precisely, even when switching between subjects. And, combined
with the predictive power of Movie Servo AF, subjects in motion are smoothly
and consistently tracked – once the EOS 70D locks focus, it doesn’t let go.
Plus, with the shallow depth-of-field afforded by EOS optics, your video gains
a cinematic ambience.
Compositional Freedom,
Quick and Accurate Live View Focus. For stills,
Dual Pixel CMOS AF makes Live View AF precise and faster than ever, freeing the
photographer to take advantage of the freedom of angle afforded by the camera’s
Vari-angle LCD monitor. Whether capturing images of athletes on the field or
kids in the park – with a tripod or handheld and operated from a number of
angles and positions – crisp focus can be obtained nearly instantly across a
wide shooting area, especially useful for those spontaneous or fleeting shots.
And, when composing and shooting in Live View mode, the image, exposure and
chosen effects can be previewed before shooting, ensuring better accuracy,
increased comfort, and more control from the start.
The Genius of Pixel Based
AF
Dual Pixel CMOS AF is a cutting-edge Canon technology, made
possible by a sophisticated redesigning of the CMOS sensor. Traditionally,
image sensors have one photodiode per pixel, but the CMOS sensor on the EOS 70D
has two photodiodes per pixel, enabling each pixel on the sensor to both
perform phase-difference detection autofocus and capture light – a first for
EOS cameras. With phase-difference detection AF, autofocus is achieved quickly
and easily on the camera. This unique AF system enables autofocus on 80% of the
image plane, vertically and horizontally, and helps ensure virtually no loss in
image quality.
Sophisticated
Wireless System
The new EOS 70D incorporates cutting edge wireless technology
right into its compact design. The camera’s exposure settings, such as aperture,
shutter speed and ISO, focus, and shutter can be operated wirelessly using an
iOS or Android smartphone* with the free Canon EOS Remote app**. Using a
smartphone with the EOS Remote app** installed, you can shoot remotely from a
distance, even in Live View mode, for those difficult-to-capture shots; you can
also review images on the EOS 70D without having to take it out of the bag, and
easily transfer and save images directly from the camera to a smartphone. Full
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatibility means easy sharing between
the EOS 70D and other DLNA products, like HDTVs, smartphones and more. Still
images can even be transferred between two wireless-enabled Canon cameras over
a Local Area Network (LAN). Images and video can be uploaded instantly to CANON
iMAGE GATEWAY# for easy sharing on
social networking sites, and photos can even be printed on a wireless
PictBridge certified printer without the need for a PC. Remarkably, the EOS 70D
has all of these wireless features without the need for any additional
accessories; they’re built right in!
The Speed You Need.
Capable of shooting up to 7.0 fps during continuous shooting, the
EOS 70D is a perfect camera for quick action. Canon’s remarkable shutter,
combined with speedy, sophisticated electronics, ensures instant response and
performance. A rapidly occurring scene can be captured moment by moment, second
by second, so that even the briefest of opportunities are captured in perfect
clarity.
Fast, Accurate, Phenomenal
AF.
The EOS 70D has a high-performance AF system that’s ready for
anything. The camera features 19 high precision cross-type AF sensors, all of
which can be selected automatically or manually. With cross-type AF points
placed throughout a wide area, the EOS 70D’s AF system ensures amazing
compositional flexibility whether shooting vertically or horizontally, and is
superbly equipped to track the subject, even if movements are erratic or
unpredictable. And with its high-precision f/2.8 dual cross-type AF center
point, the EOS 70D delivers a whole new level of focus accuracy when shooting
with lenses of f/2.8 or faster. The EOS 70D camera’s AF modes can be customized
to suit the situation, helping ensure reliable focus.
