Cleaning the image sensor. How does the auto sensor cleaning work? Flexible recording features

And working together with the original DIGIC processors, the CMOS image sensor is equipped with an advanced noise reduction circuit on each pixel, which allows you to obtain images with almost zero noise levels. In comparison, C.

cCD technology CMOS sensors are characterized by smaller power consumption, which increases the battery life resource.

In CMOS sensors, the Canon image signal is converted by separate amplifiers on each pixel. Thus, it is possible to avoid unnecessary steps in the process of charge transfer and speed up the signal transmission time to the image processing processor. This reduces the noise level, limit the power consumption and increase the shooting speed.

Before recording a memory card, the image data received by the image sensor is processed by the DIGIC processor. DIGIC technology uses advanced image processing algorithms that allow you to get natural colors, excellent gradation of tones, the exact balance of white and improved noise reduction. Ultra-high processing speed guarantees the fast response of the camera and its almost instantaneous inclusion.

DIGIC processors work with high-speed image buffer - read, processed, compress and record the data quickly enough to ensure that the buffer remains free during the long-term continuous shooting of the series. In addition, energy consumption is minimized, since the DIGIC processor performs all the basic functions of processing.

IFCL exposure measurement system with 63-zone two-layer sensor

The IFCL system uses data on focusing, chromaticity and brightness for continuous exposure control. All focus points provide distance data for the measurement system in order to determine the distance to the subject and calculating the accurate exposure.

Both EOS 600D and EOS 1100D models are equipped with a measurement sensor with 63 zones associated with all nine-focus points. As a rule, measuring sensors are more sensitive to red objects, which can cause overexposure. In EOS 600D and EOS 1100D, this problem is eliminated using a two-layer sensor, in which one layer reacts to red and green colors, and the other on blue and green. An exposure calculation algorithm Calculate the data on the color of the object adjusts the exposure meter.

Built-in EOS cleaning system

The new EOS 600D model is equipped with a built-in EOS cleaning system, which struggles with dust on the matrix in three ways: preventing the appearance of dust, repulcing and eliminating it.

  • Preventing the appearance of dust: the internal elements of the chamber are designed to minimize the appearance of dust. The chamber body is designed to prevent dust when wearing it.
  • Dust repulsion: The lower frequency filter located in front of the image matrix is \u200b\u200bcreated using an antistatic material, so repels dust.
  • Elimination of dust: Self-cleaning image matrix uses high-frequency oscillations for "shaking" dust with infrared filter For approximately one second after each inclusion. For the instant start of shooting after the camera is activated, this function is immediately disconnected when the shutter is designed.

The front surface of the low-frequency filter in the EOS 1100D chamber has a flores coating that prevents the sticking of dust to the matrix. In the EOS 600D and EOS 1100D models, the internal Dust Delete DATA system is implemented, which determines the position of visible dust particles on the matrix. After shooting the traces of this dust can be automatically deleted from the image using the latest version. software Digital Photo Professional.

LCD screen CLEAR VIEW with a variable tilt angle (EOS 600D only)

The EOS 600D camera is equipped with a Clear View LCD screen with a diagonal of 7.7 cm (3.0 inches) with a 3: 2 aspect ratio, an alternating angle of inclination and a resolution of approximately 1.04 million points. It provides high-quality display and the ability to check the focus in playback mode. Due to the wide angle of view of the image on the LCD screen, Clear View is perfectly distinguishable in various conditions, and haloes and glare are reduced due to the triple anti-reflective coating and resistant to pollution coating from fluorine. In addition, the appearance of traces on the screen is prevented, and the colors on the display look natural and correspond to the SRGB color space. The screen with an alternating angle of inclination opens the sideways, allowing photographers to shoot in unexpected angles, even if the EOS 600D camera is fixed on a tripod or vertical handle. The screen leans 175 °, after which it can be rotated 90 ° forward or 180 ° ago. Thus, photographers are available overview of the display from the lower or upper points or even in front of the camera.

EOS MOVIE video video

The EOS MOVIE video video feature allows you to record Full HD (1920x1080p) rollers on the EOS 600D chamber and HD (1280x720p) rollers on the EOS 1100D chamber. EOS 600D supports fully manual exposure management and shooting speed 30 frames / s, 25 frames / s and 24 frames / with full resolution, as well as 60 and 50 frames / s with a resolution of 720p. EOS 1100D is available for shooting speed 30 or 25 frames / s.

In the process of video in Full HD format, you can use a special digital video apeaker (Movie Digital Zoom) to an EOS 600D camera to increase the central region of the matrix 3-10 times while maintaining the quality of Full HD.

EOS Scene Recognition Technology (EOS 600D only)

EOS Scene Recognition Technology automatically analyzes faces, brightness, movement, contrast and distance. This information is used in the intelligent automatic scene definition mode (Scene Intelligent Auto).

Intelligent automatic scene definition (EOS 600D only)

In the intelligent automatic scene definition mode (Scene Intelligent AUTO), the information collected by the EOS scene recognition system is used to select optimal settings. For example, for portrait shooting, parameters are selected, allowing the natural tones of the skin.

Styles Picture Style.

Preset Picture Style modes can be compared with various types of film having different color sensitivity. Within each of them, you can adjust sharpness, contrast, tone and color saturation. Picture Style Style "Standard" allows you to quickly get ready-to-use JPEG images without the need for additional processing. When shooting in RAW format, Picture Style settings can be changed using Digital Photo Professional software from Canon.

The following pre-installed styles are available in EOS 600D and EOS 1100D models.

  • Standard: to create clear, bright images that do not require subsequent processing.
  • Portrait: Optimizes tone and color saturation, reduces image sharpness to obtain a pleasant skin tone.
  • Landscape: Increases the saturation of the green and blue colors, as well as sharpness, providing clearer contours of mountains, trees and buildings.
  • Neutral colors: perfect for subsequent processing.
  • Accurate colors: adjusts the color to accurately match the object during shooting during color temperature below 5200 K.
  • Monochrome: Suitable for monochrome shooting using various filters (yellow, orange, red and green) and toning (sepia, blue, purple and green).

The EOS 600D model implements a new feature - Picture Style AUTO. It performs accurate settings based on the analysis performed by the EOS scene recognition system for creating a specific image style. Three user-style images can be used to save the settings created by the included Picture Style Editor, or any styles that can be downloaded from the Canon website: www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/index. HTM.

Basic + ("Main Mode +")

Basic + ("Main mode +") is a creative function that was first implemented in the EOS 60D model. It serves to create the desired effects when shooting the scene. Thanks to Basic + photographers can embody their ideas using the corresponding scene mode.

  • Removal in accordance with the atmosphere: Setting up the exposure compensation and white balance depending on the pre-installed style to transfer the atmosphere or the tone of the image
  • Removing according to illumination or scene type: Simplified white balance adjustment form, which allows newcomers in the area digital Photography Change settings, focusing on more understandable terms, such as "daylight", "shadow", "cloudy", "sunset", "incandescent lamp", "Fluorescent lamp"

Automatic lighting optimizer (ALO)

Automatic lighting optimizer analyzes the image and selectively changes the brightness to obtain clearer shots. For example, when a person is filmed in the opposite light, Alo product recognizes face and increases its brightness.

Correction of peripheral lens illumination

The peripheral lighting correction function of the lens uses the capabilities of the DIGIC 4 processor to improve the quality of the pictures due to the conservation of the uniformity of the lighting diagonally diagonally even when shooting a zoom lens with a widely open diaphragm. When recording in RAW format, even stronger correction is available with

By Digital Photo Professional.

Function Priority Light Shades

The Highlight Tone Priority feature expands the dynamic range of light shades. The gradation between 18 percent shades of gray (standard exposure) and light areas is improved, and the loss of parts on light areas is reduced. Thus, an image with a lot of light shades (for example, a photo of a brightly lit bride in a wedding dress) looks more attractive, natural, with good detail in white and gray regions.

Function Guide

The built-in function guide ensures the output of simple descriptions of all modes and functions to the operational control screen.

Art filters (EOS 600D only)

The EOS 600D model implements a number of art filters that allow you to change images in RAW and JPEG formats. Since filters are used after the picture is made, different effects can be applied to the same image.

  • The effect of "fisheye": reproduces the barrel-shaped distortion of a similar lens. Configure effect. Depending on the level of distortion, you can cut the external edges of the image.
  • Granular black and white: creates grainy black and white pictures. This effect can be strengthened by adjusting the contrast.
  • Soft focus: Provides soft focus. The effect is enhanced by the blur setting.
  • The effect of the toy chamber: allows you to get colors characteristic of "toy" cameras. The image is also darkened by four corners. A snapshot looks a bit blurred and slightly grainy. You can choose warm or cold shades.
  • Miniature effect: Used to increase the sharpness of the image part. Orientation (vertical or horizontal) can be changed by pressing the info button.

Video Station (EOS 600D only)

The video list function allows you to shoot short video clips duration 2, 4 or 8 seconds. Then these short fragments are combined into one file in the album format video keys to create dynamic, fast sequences. After selecting the duration of the video clip each time, when you press the video button, the video of the specified length will be written. For example, if a video collection is selected with a duration of 4 seconds, an album is created by video assemblies from 4-second fragments. This ensures a more exciting film and the ability to analyze the received frames.

When playing videos, albums video keys or slideshows on the camera screen or on a larger screen of high-definition TV (through the HDMI connector), you can apply background music. To do this, you need to convert audio files [i] to the supported WAV format, and then load them on the camera SD card using EOS Utility. Uploaded files can be selected during playback. Also, users are available to five music tracks included in the camera package.

Digital Photo Professional Software

Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software is intended for high-speed and high-quality RAW format image processing recorded without loss of quality. It allows you to instantly see the results of the changes made, providing full control of RAW file parameters: White, dynamic range, exposure compensation, noise suppression and color tone. In addition, it is possible to view the autofocus points on the image and apply the blur mask filter (Unsharp Mask). The lens aberration tool is used to accurately correct various types of distortion in certain lenses. Added the ability to correct distortion for an EF 8-15mm F / 4L USM FISHEYE lens. This allows you to create images with the effect of "fisheye" for various purposes.

  • Studying linearity: Converting an image to a central projection. Getting a full-frame image from a round image "Fish eye".
  • Underclining distance: Image conversion into an equalization projection. This method retains the distance between objects, but eliminates most of the distortion. It is especially useful for creating star cards and solar orbits schemes.
  • Undressing peripherals: Image conversion into a stereographic projection. Designed to properly display relative provisions on spherical surface (for example, images of the globe).
  • Undressing the center: converting an image to an orthogonal projection with an increase in the center. Useful for urban planners that measure the degree of illumination of the site across the sky to plan the appropriate means of lighting.

Snapshots can be saved with SRGB or Adobe RGB color space. Also allowed and cropping images, which allows you to adjust the borders of the image and the horizon line during the processing of RAW files. Digital Photo Professional supports snapshot rating system used in EOS 600D and EOS 1100D cameras and allows you to assign or change the rating in the stars to simplify image sorting.

Digital Photo Professional Supports SRGB Color Spaces, Adobe RGB, Colormatch RGB, Apple RGB and Wide Gamut RGB. ICC profiles (International Consortium for Color Image Processing) can be applied to TIFF or JPEG format images when converting from RAW format. This ensures accurate color reproduction in programs that support ICC profiles - for example, in Adobe Photoshop.. Image settings can be saved and then apply to other images, which will also help increase the efficiency of work.

EOS UTILITY app

In the latest version of the EOS Utility application, the remote shooting support functions are added in Live View mode (with the ability to apply an image to align the subsequent frames during the studio shooting process), camera settings and image transfer. EOS Utility, integrated with Digital Photo Professional, can be configured to control hot folders, which will automatically rename and move the transmitted images to a structured file system. It is also possible to add to each EXIF \u200b\u200bdata image, including copyright information. New opportunity It is the registration of background music: now users can add and delete WAV format files in the camera's playback list1.

Picture Style Editor

Picture Style Editor allows you to create individual Picture Style settings in accordance with the tasks of photographers. Each Picture Style style contains detailed information On the use of certain colors. After creating a new style, it can be directly loaded into the chamber and apply to JPEG or RAW format images. When working with RAW format files in DPP, you can make changes to both personal and pre-installed styles.

ZoomBrowser EX (PC) / ImageBrowser (Mac)

ZoomBrowser EX / ImageBrowser is intended for faster and simple image management. JPEG basic editing feature allows you to change the brightness and color balance of images. From the program you can run on DPP to edit images RAW. Users can instantly choose and rename images, as well as change their size. In addition, you can set the ranking in the stars and systematize materials by the date of shooting, which simplifies the management of large image libraries. Also, photographers can choose, supply comments and print pictures using a number of simplified print capabilities.

This feature allows you to edit albums video clip on your computer. Separate video keys can be deleted or in a different order, as well as add background music to them. The finished file can be quickly and easily downloaded to the YouTube website using the new download job.

Canon announced a Canon EOS 70D mirror digital camera with interchangeable lenses designed for experienced photographers.

What is new to the camera to the camera market brought, how does it differ from the previous Canon models and cameras from other manufacturers?

Canon EOS 70D is the first chamber in which the Dual-Pixel CMOS AF hybrid autofocus technology is used. Each pixel on the matrix has two photodiodes that can read information as independently from each other when using autofocus and together when building an image.

Dual-Pixel CMOS AF technology has been designed so that the focus control when video recording has become easier and more convenient, refuting the well-established ideas that video shooting mode on digital mirror cameras is intended only for professionals. In addition, the Dual-Pixel CMOS AF mechanism makes shooting in Live View mode more convenient.

How is the company CANON

You can get acquainted in detail with the characteristics of the device on the website of the camera manufacturer: http://www.canon.ru/for_home/product_finder/cameras/digital_slr/eos_70d/index.aspx
I will stop at the advantages of a new camera that allocates Canon:

  • The EOS 70D camera is equipped with a new APS-C permissive sensor with a resolution of 20.2 million pixels and a powerful DIGIC 5+ image processor, which allows you to receive 14-bit images and transmit the smallest details. The naturalness of the color reproduction is complemented by smoothness of halftone transitions.
  • The EOS 70D camera allows you to receive photos of quickly moving objects through the use of serial shooting at a speed of 7 frames per second with full resolution and high-performance 19-point crusadum autofocus system that provides high accuracy and speed of the camera reaction. The 19-point autofocus system has moved to a new chamber with a known EOS 7D model.
  • The EOS 70D camera allows you to create Full HD (1080 P) videotapes due to fast and accurate autofocus, due to the use of the Unique Dual-Pixel CMOS AF Technology CANON.
  • The ability to remotely shoot from different angles thanks to the Wi-Fi module: To do this, connect the EOS 70D camera to a computer, a laptop, a tablet or smartphone, after which it will be possible to control remotely. Images can be viewed and immediately sent to relatives and friends, share them in social networks.
  • Even in low light conditions, the EOS 70D camera retains high performance. The device offers a range of ISO values \u200b\u200bup to 12800 with the ability to expand to 25,600, which allows you to receive photos when shooting with hands under low light conditions without using flash.
  • The camera allows you to use intuitive sensory controls, located on the screen, to shoot objects in unexpected angles or from uncomfortable positions using a sensor display of a Clear VIEW II tilt sensor display, a diagonal of 7.7 cm (3.0 ") and the ratio Parties 3: 2, the resolution of which is 1,040,000 points, to create high-quality images in Live View mode, search for the most successful angles of shooting and building a frame.

As you get acquainted with the camera, we will try to confirm or refute the data of the CANON approval.

Comparison of the camera with its predecessors

Key difference Canon EOS 70D from its predecessor, Canon EOS 60D, - a new 20.2-megapixel matrix with focus support by phase difference method. Also, the new model appeared a 19-point autofocus system from EOS 7D and support for Wi-Fi wireless networks. The hull is protected from ingestion moisture and dust.

There are practically no external differences from EOS 70D from 60D. All the same, subordinate ergonomics design.

Those minimum changes that managed to detect are associated with approximate to modern Canon standards, in terms of camera control circuit.

  • the INFO and MENU buttons moved to the upper left corner;
  • the removal and viewing keys of the footage - closer to the control disk.

On the top of the camera housing:

  • the switching wheel of the modes got a small processing. Now it rotates 360 degrees, has a creative zone, the basic zone and the user shooting mode. In the center of the wheel appeared button-lock.

Below are the location of the camera control elements:

The body is quite thought out in terms of protection from falling inside dust, water splashes and dirt.
The camera lies reliably in hand. There are anatomical protrusions and under the middle, and under the thumb, the descent button is located at a convenient angle, the material is used extremely tenacious.

The menu interface is excellent with everyone who has already worked with Canon cameras. The same horizontal navigation on vertical lists, quite simple, but also relatively bulky. Added pretty large touch control icons, allowing minimal access to navigation disks. Professional photographers The possibility of full camera control is left with blind buttons, which is very important for them.

When visiting the viewfinder, you can display the basic shooting information, additional shooting information, virtual horizon; When you press the Q key, a quick menu is available: It is convenient to instantly set the desired settings that are not too much using the touchscreen.

The results of practical acquaintance with the camera during test shooting

For test trials, I was provided with a Canon EOS 70D camera without a lens, as a result of which I used lenses available in my personal arsenal: Canon EF 50 / 1.4 USM, Canon EF 70-300 DO IS USM, Tamron SP AF 28-75 / 2 , 8 Di LD, Sigma AF 12-24 EX DG HSM. All listed lenses were designed for full-frame cameras.

Autofocus

I, as, probably, and many who read this review now, were interested in whether the expectations associated with the new hybrid autofocus technology Dual-Pixel CMOS AF are justified. Therefore, the first test of the camera as soon as she turned out to be in my hands, there was an autofocus check. I checked her work with all the lenses that allocated for test shooting.

Ahead of the event, I will immediately say that from four lenses to use the new properties of the matrixes associated with Dual-Pixel CMOS AF technology, only two canon lenses are able to in the table of compatible lenses above. Two other lens provided a tip to sharpness using the possibilities of contrasting autofocus, which was immediately felt.

Based on the fact that a 19-point hub type autofocus system was applied for this unit, which is used on the camera of a higher-grade Canon EOS 7D and which has proven itself well, the focus was on testing the work of autofocus in Live View mode.

Given that for two years already in my arsenal there is a Sony NEX-5N mesmer's chamber, when checking the autofocus of the Canon EOS 7D camera in Live View mode, I unwittingly compared both cameras for this indicator.

1. The first mode that was checked by me is the work of autofocus at a slow rotation of the camera or its approximation to the shooting object, without a photographing in normal conditions during normal lighting. The Canon EOS 7D camera, according to my feelings, was not inferior to my mesmer chamber and almost constantly kept the objects in the focus, which came into the field of view of the camera. That is, in video photography mode, it seems to me, there will be no complaints from those who want to shoot films with this camera. Earlier, I tried to shoot in Live View cameras Canon 5D Mark II-III and I remember that it did not give me pleasure: to get into sharpness, the lens began to get there and make a noticeable noise, and a significant patience was required to wait for the result. Here everything was comfortable. The lens confidently kept the object in the focus, which changed the distance to the camera, while everything happened almost silently and smoothly.

2. The second thing I checked is photographing under normal conditions with normal lighting. The tip on the sharpness took place almost instantly and in the case of clicking on the trigger button, and in the case of touching the touch screen with a finger, only in the second case, the camera has already been on sharpness exactly in the point that was noted in contact, which is often very convenient. At the same time, if the camera automatically chose to touch another object, according to the program algorithm, admitted by the center, then after touching the screen, let's say with any edge, there was a smooth reconstruction of the sharpness with the subsequent shutter to the shutter.

3. The most interesting was to check the work of autofocus in a dark room with a scattered light, in which the light object was in a bright wall. At first I tried to remove this object as usual mirror photograph, but it was not there. Even with the presence of a 19-point autofocus system of a crusade, the camera has tried to carry out a tip for a long time, but in the end left this venture. But in the Live View mode there was an unexpected: the camera fragilely captured the object almost immediately, without making a single excessive movement. At the same time, in those conditions that were created by me, my mirrorless chamber, having only a contrasting tip to sharpness, also refused to appear on sharpness. It seems to me that the coherence as a new autofocus system using the Dual-Pixel CMOS AF technology and the standard contrast autofocus system, which, by the way, with the lens that is not included in the compatible list also could not have autofocus.

Based on the practical checks that I told above, I can say that the new autofocus system with the use of Dual-Pixel CMOS AF technology with honor withstanding the test even in the fairness created by me: when the main autofocus system refused to work, the new system provided a set To sharpness. We can say that finally canon cameras have become able to provide an autofocus with an acceptable speed in Live View mode; This highly appreciates those who like to shoot in the display mode, and, of course, video musicians who often disconnect autofocus during video recording and hovering to sharpness are carried out manually.

High ISO

Usually, when the camera falls into my hands, the second that I explore after estimating the speed of autofocus, is how the camera works on high ISO.

To be honest, before the camera got to me, this moment was pregnant to me quite a lot. Here is the site where I often watch the results of testing matrices:

The test results did not encourage me:

I compared the test apparatus with those with those with the last years and saw that he ranked last time:

Of course, I understood that the Canon EOS 90D matrix had the smallest pixels in the area, but it was hoped that new technologies change a lot.

But the first shooting results have slightly changed my idea of \u200b\u200bthe camera in this test for the better.
From the practice of shooting with your cameras, I clearly defined for myself, which is the possibilities of shooting at high ISO:

1.Camera Canon EOS 5D Mark II provides shooting at which I can print the exhibition format snapshots up to ISO 6400 (shooting in the theater). It is already difficult to deal with noise, detailing falls and float colors.

2. Sony camera NEX-5N provides shooting at which I can print the exhibition format snapshots up to ISO 3200 (shooting in the theater). Above, on ISO 6400, it is already more difficult to fight the noise, the detailing is even higher and the colors are floating.

Camera Canon EOS 70D in this respect presented me a surprise.
Almost to the sensitivity of 12800, the color was stable and only 12800 sailed a little.

Here are test pictures taken using the canon 50 / 1.4 lens with a permanent diaphragm F / 4.0:

Original

The results of the analysis of the above test shots allow us to draw the following conclusions:
1. Fully workers can be considered the ISO 100-3200 range, which allows for the appropriate processing to print shots of the exhibition format.
2. The ISO 6400 can be considered a threshold value, although under certain conditions and the content of the image and with this sensitivity you can print the photos of the exhibition format.
3. Even with the ISO 12800 value, in case of a lot of need, you can take pictures to demonstrate on the Internet and print small size, however, a more serious approach to noise reduction is required when conversion.

Below I will give some pictures taken on high sensitivity with different lenses:

SOLIGOR 19-35 (35 mm), ISO 5000, 1/125, F4,5, RAW, noise reduction in the chamber is disabled, when converting noise reduction parameters Luminability - 0, chroma - 25.



Soligor 19-35 (35 mm), ISO 8000, 1/125, F4.5, RAW, noise reduction in the chamber is disabled, when converting noise reduction parameters Luminability - 0, chroma - 25.



Tamron 28-75 (70 mm), ISO 4000, 1/125, F2.8, RAW, noise reduction in the chamber is disabled, when converting noise reduction parameters Luminability - 0, chroma - 25.



TAMRON 28-75 (70 mm), ISO 2500, 1/125, F2.8, RAW, noise reduction in the chamber is disabled, when converting noise reduction parameters Luminability - 0, chroma - 25.



Canon 50, ISO 1250, 1/125, F1,6, RAW, noise reduction in the chamber is disabled, when converting noise reduction parameters Luminatibility - 0, chromaticity - 25.


To evaluate the indicators considered in Dxomark tests, such as a dynamic range and color depth, a good laboratory with a calibrated monitor and light in the studio is required; Considering that the test shooting at home does not even even come close to the level of the professional laboratory Dxomark, I will simply bring a few test pictures and express my attitude to the results that are given in tests.






As it seems to me, the parameters dynamic range and color depth 70D loses to my cameras. Here my impressions coincide with DXO tests.

Findings: The camera turned out to be good. A significant step is made forth compared to Canon EOS 60D, in many respects, it is very close to the chamber of a higher price range of Canon EOS 7D, and something has exceeded it and not only it. I'm talking about new technology Two-pixel CMOS autofocus, which will especially like those who are not indifferent to the video.

Canon EOS 70D SLR is the seventh model of the XXD EOS-Series Digital Mirror Cameras. This family of devices is mainly intended for more demanding lovers photographers, which has always been considerable popularity. It is worth noting that with the announcement 60D, this series has undergone some changes, namely acquired more amateur character.

Canon EOS 60D was announced three years ago, so it's not surprising that his successor 70D was waiting for a long time, and there was a lot of rumors on the eve of the new model. We must admit that it was worthwhile. The new EOS chamber can be safely considered a significant step forward compared to the predecessor. Compared with 60D changes quite a lot. The most important thing is a truly new APS-C format sensor, and not updating the 18-megapixel sensor, which since 2009 with the launch of the model 7D appeared in subsequent EOS-ah, as well as in the mesmer chamber EOS M.

In the new sensor, not only the number of pixels from 18 to 20 million has changed, but also a new technology that Dual Pixel CMOS was dubbed - each pixel consists of two photodiodes that can work independently or together. This technology allows you to improve the vehicle speed in Live WIEV mode and when shooting video.

Specifications Canon EOS 70D can be viewed.

Assembly quality and functionality.

From the point of view of the design and quality of manufacturing EOS 70D reminds its predecessor. In accordance with the specification, the composition of the housing includes the following materials: aluminum, polycarbonate resin and fiberglass. Aluminum is probably used in the production of the inner skeleton of the chamber, because none of the main outer parts of the hull is made of metal. When you first contact with the camera, it seems that plastic remained the same as in the predecessor, however, under the clue, you can see that the quality has improved

Separate parts of the housing are well folded, and the whole design is quite rigid. It should be noted that the overall impression of strength is not so positive, as in the case of the magnesium case of the old model 50D. It should also be noted that the manufacturer boasts a 70D protection against moisture and dust, but our observations cause some doubts about this regard. Although the slots are sealed with rubber stoppers, and the closing valve of the battery compartment has a rubber ring, but the memory card slot does not have a rubber gasket, which should be protected from adverse external conditions.

As for the size of the new EOS, it turned out that the camera is less than 60d. But the difference is insignificant. The weight has not changed, all the same 675 grams (only the case).

Battery and connectors

Canon 70D uses the same battery as its predecessor, LP-E6, with a capacity of 1800 mAh. Charging the battery using the supplied device LC-E6 takes about 2.5 hours. The performance of a fully charged battery, in accordance with the specifications of the chamber, is about 920 photos when shooting with a viewfinder (data based on work at room temperature).

When testing the camera, when charging the battery, we were able to make more than 1,300 pictures. You can connect the BG-E14 battery knob to the camera, which it becomes possible to use two LP-E6 batteries or six AA batteries. For permanent camera, you should purchase an additional ACK-E6 AC adapter.

New EOS Like its predecessor works with SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. The memory card slot is located on the right side of the camera behind the plastic plug.

Canon 70D has the following connectors:

  • Connecting an external stereo microphone (mini jack)
  • Connecting RS-60E3,
  • HDMI type C,
  • USB port with A / V function

The connectors are located on the left side of the chamber in two columns, and each column is protected by a separate rubber plug.

Control elements

From the point of view of control 70D, some changes have undergone compared to the previous model. Most of them relate to the rear chamber panel and are associated more with the change in the location of the buttons. Let's look carefully on what exactly is available to us in the new EOS. We start from the top of the camera.

On the left side, we find the switch operating modes switch:

  • P. - software auto exposure
  • TV. - Auto Exposure with exposure priority
  • AV. - auto exposure with a diaphragm priority
  • M. - Manual shooting (photo and video)
  • B. - Long exposure
  • C. - User
  • SCN. - Special scenes (portrait, landscape, closeup, sport, night portrait, night shot with hands, HDR backlit control)
  • CA. - creative authentic,
  • Without flash
  • Intellectual scenario mode (photo and video)

On the switch switching wheel is the lock button that prevents accidental switching. Under the wheel is the power switch.

On the right side, we see the monochrome LCD screen, directly over which are five buttons. They are mostly the same as on 60d: autofocus, shutter modes ( Drive.), ISO., Exposure measurement mode, highlighting monochrome LCD dispersion. Directly on the camera handle are traditional shutter buttons and control disk. Unlike 60d, the new model in close proximity to the control disk has an additional button., Which is responsible for choosing the AF region.

Now let's turn to the inspection of the rear of the chamber.

Here we can see more changes compared to the predecessor. Buttons appeared in the upper left corner Menu. and Info . The latter is used mainly to change the display of information on the main LCD screen. In this place, 60D is the removal button, which in the new model was moved under the control ring, glad to the lock lever (in 60d this element in the form of a button). Since now the jullock switch in the form of a lever, it takes more space, and now the play button is located above the ring, where the Info button was previously. The Q button moved to the top right angle of the display. Recall that in the EOS system, this button activates the quick access control function through the screen. The last change concerns the Live View viewing button and start video shooting, the same solution in 7D, 5D MKIII and 6D, the START / STOP button activates the mode, and around the Live View / Video Selection Ring

Three buttons remain unchanged: selection of autofocus point (image enlargement), auto exposure fixation (image reducing) and inclusion AF. Just like in 60d, the inner ring of control has an 8-position switch. The control ring is used to change the exposure to navigate the camera menu, or to change any other parameters.

As in 60d, on the front panel there are buttons to open the camera flash and lock the lens. The preview button of the depth of field you will find on the right side of the fastening of the lens.

Displays and viewfinder

Canon 70D has a 3-inch sensor LCD display with a resolution of 1,040,000 points and a 170-degree viewing angle. We do not have a direct comparison with a 60D display, but we can say that the display has a very good quality. Screen brightness can be set using a 7-point scale. Anti-reflective coating copes well with its task and increases the level of comfort when shooting during bright Sun.. As in the 60D model, the display was made on a rotating connection and allows you to change the position (the slope is 180 degrees to the side and a rotation of 270 degrees). When shooting with a viewfinder, the main LCD display can be used to display various information or changes in operating parameters. Pressing the button Infocalls the camera settings screen, electronic level indicator and shooting settings control panel. It is worth noting that in the settings menu, you can choose which information screens will be available under Info.

70D, like its predecessor, has a monochrome LCD display, which displays the most important information about the camera settings. Below in the diagram shows all the information that is displayed on the display.

Canon EOS 70D equipped with a viewfinder type of pentaprism whose vision field is 98%. In this regard, compared with the previous model, we have a slight improvement, since 60d field of view was 96%. In 70D, an increase in the viewfinder 0.95x, and the removal of the output pupil is approximately 22 mm. Dioptre correction can be made from -3 to +1 diopter. Below are the items displayed in the camera viewfinder, information is taken from the instruction manual.

70D viewfinder produces good impressionAnd for its size and brightness does not have any serious objections. Its size is a little more than on the 60D model, and also gives the impression that it is a little brighter.

Video mode

Video mode in EOS 70D has been slightly expanded compared to 60d. When choosing shooting modes, you can find the following options in the new model:

  • Full HD 1920 x 1080 (30p / 25p / 24p) IPB (about 235 MB / min),
  • Full HD 1920 x 1080 (30p / 25p / 24p) All-I (about 685 MB / min),
  • HD 1280 × 720 (60p / 50p) IPB (about 205 MB / min),
  • HD 1280 × 720 (60p / 50p) All-I (about 610 MB / min),
  • VGA 640 x 480 (30p / 25p) IPB (about 78 MB / min).

As you can see, we can use two methods of compression. The intraframe (All-i) method compresses each frame separately, so we get better quality and greater flexibility when editing the film. The transformation compression method (IPB), in which several frames are compressed simultaneously. 70D can record movies in fully automatic mode and in manual mode. In case of shooting in automatic mode, it is possible to adjust the exposure compensation. In manual mode, it is possible to adjust both a diaphragm and exposure and ISO during recording. Moreover, in this case useful in this case, it can be using a touch screen, thanks to which the parameter changes will be quiet and will not add unnecessary noise to the soundtrack of the film. It is a pity that we do not have the ability to record films with a priority of aperture or excerpt.

The video is saved in MOV format with MPEG-4AVC / H.264 codec. The manufacturer recommends using a memory card with a speed class 6 or higher. Due to the limitations of the file system, the size of the video file cannot exceed 4 GB. The camera has a built-in stereo microphone, as well as the possibility of connecting an additional external microphone. During recording, the sound level can be installed in manual mode on a 64-point scale or allow it to make this camera in automatic mode. As in the more advanced EOS-AH, 70D implemented support for temporary codes that are used to synchronize video and audio for multiple devices and facilitates the subsequent editing process on the computer. Canon 70D also has a mode that allows you to record movies consisting of short scenes long 2, 4 or 8 seconds.

Use and ergonomics

Although Canon 70D has been slightly reduced compared to its predecessor, the handle is quite large in size and convenient to keep the camera. Additional convenience creates a soft rubber coating, which also exists on the rear camera panel. Access to buttons and switches are free, most of which are located in the right hand.

With the current location of the camera control components, it is fairly easily and quickly, but it is worth noting that in terms of ergonomics, there may be small inconveniences. It is a pity that the buttons on the top of the camera do not have a double function, as it was in 50D. In this case, we would have direct access to a large number of parameters, including a white balance, which can only be adjusted in the fast menu. A positive assessment in the convenience of control has the quality of the image LCD display, as well as the ability to deviate and rotate the screen. Especially this solution is useful when shooting video.

Lenses

Canon 70D is available on sale with China Canon EF-S 18-55 mm F / 3.5-5.6 IS STM and Universal Zoom Canon EF-S 18-135 mm F / 3.5-5.6 IS STM. These sets are definitely good for beginner lovers, however, new camera It is quite advanced and may be of interest to more demanding users. Undoubtedly, the model range of Canon lenses has a large selection. On the other hand, the amateur segment of lenses is a bit lame. To acquire a high-quality and reliable lens, you must lay out a round sum of money. However, it is not necessary to be limited to Canon offers, and attention should be paid to other lenses manufacturers, such as Sigma, Tamron and Tokina. It is especially worth considering Sigma as an alternative. For example, the lens is 18-35 mm F / 1.8 DC HSM, which was recently announced, is very good and not expensive glass.

Speed

Canon 70D camera speed does not have any principal objections. On board there is a DIGIC 5 + processor (the same stands in the 6D and 5D MARK II models), which provides sufficient power to work smoothly and without problems. The camera is ready to work almost immediately as soon as we turn the power switch to the ON position. Basic operations with a camera, menu movement, execution of settings, viewing or scaling photos is smooth and without irritant delays. The removal of individual snapshots occurs almost instantly, and ordinary formatting takes only a few seconds. In full formatting (which is rare), it may take some patience.

Serial shooting

Canon 70D offers three modes of serial shooting. The two main modes of high-speed and low-speed serial shooting allow you to remove with a maximum speed to 7 and to 3 frames / sec. respectively. Additional mode is called "silent serial shooting" and allows you to take pictures at the same speed as with low-speed serial shooting (up to 3 frames / s).

Cleaning sensor

Automatic sensor cleaning can be automatically performed each time when the camera is turned on and off. There is also the possibility of forced cleaning, which runs through the camera menu. During camera testing, the automatic cleaning function was active. However, at the end of the test, we noticed several small dust particles on the matrix, which the camera could not be removed in automatic mode. It is worth noting that these stains can be easily removed by blowing the matrix of the usual pear.

Flash

Canon 70D is equipped with an outbreak with a leading number 12 (ISO 100). Compared to the previous model, the number decreased, since 60d the leading number was 13.

Flash power adjustment can be made up to ± 3 EV with 1/3 or 1/2 EV increments. Flash lighting corresponds to a lens corner with an equivalent focal length of 28 mm. The minimum shutter speed at which synchronization with the built-in flash is possible is 1/250 seconds.

Flash settings can be found in the second section of the shooting menu. There are functions as for the built-in flash and for external, while in the latter case they are activated only after the connection:

  • Enable / disable flash
  • E-TTL II (evaluation / medium-weighing)
  • Flash Synchterization Exposure in AV mode:
    • Auto
    • Automatic switching ranges 1/250-1 / 60
    • 1/250 seconds (fixed).
  • Built-in Flash Settings:
    • Flash mode (E-TTL II / manual mode)
    • Flash exposure compensation (with E-TTL II) / Flash Power (manual mode)
    • Synchronization mode on the first or second shutter curtain
    • Wireless functions
  • Settings for external flashes
  • Configure C.fn External Flash

The following settings are available for the external flash:

  • Flash mode
  • Synchronization (1st curtain, 2nd curtain, high-speed synchronization)
  • Flash exposure bracketing
  • Flash exposure compensation
  • Flash Zaming (Flash Corner)
  • Wireless functions

Canon 70D, like its predecessor, has a built-in controller for remote control of SPEEDLITE flash.

Wi-Fi

Canon 70D, as well as the 6D full-frame model, is equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter, which allows the camera to carry out wireless communications with external devices. Wi-Fi offers six modes of operation:

  • transferring images between cameras
  • connecting to your smartphone - to view images and remote shooting,
  • print images on a Wi-Fi Printer
  • remote camera control using the EOS Utility program,
  • send Images to Canon Web Service
  • View images on the TV screen

During the test, we had the opportunity to see in practice as a smartphone works with the camera. To use this feature, you must install the application on your EOS REMOTE phone. The application can be downloaded to the App Store or Google Play. The following functions are available in EOS Remote:

  • Viewing Images from the camera (View / Removal / Copy to Smartphone)
  • Remote shooting (the camera automatically switches to Live View mode and on the screen of the smartphone we see the current frame; You can view the shooting information, set the basic exposure parameters, as well as set the focus point to the touch of the screen)
  • Setting up EOS Remote.

Although the possibilities of remote control through the smartphone are rather modest, but it can be quite useful in some situations. For example, if you have time from time to time, you need to use the shutter remote shutter, now it is not oblivious to spend money on a remote control device or a cable.

Autofocus

Canon EOS 70D is equipped with TTL-CT-SIR autofocus and has 19 crusades. In addition, the central point of autofocus has increased sensitivity when using lenses with F / 2.8 or higher. The detection range for the central point of autofocus is from -0.5 to 18 EV (ISO 100, 2.8), and the remaining from 0 to 18 EV. Under low light conditions, the flash can make a series of flashes to support the focus. Autofocus can operate in the following modes:

  • One Shot AF - frame focus Pressing the shutter button halfway
  • AI SERVO AF - continuous tracking mode
  • AI Focus AF - Intelligent in which the camera automatically chooses to work in AI SERVO or One Shot

In addition, all modes are available the following methods for selecting the AF zone:

  • One autofocus point - manually select the same out of 19 points available.
  • Zone AF - manually choose one of five zones
  • Automatic choice of 19 autofocus points

Settings regarding the focus system in 70D can be found in the C.FN user function menu separate category. There are the following options:

  • Tracking sensitivity - setting the sensitivity of object focus tracking in AI SERVO AF (-2 low / low -1 / 0 / high +1 / high +2)
  • Acceleration / Slow tracking - Setting sensitivity to moving objects (0 / + 1 / + 2)
  • Sample AF with a 1 frame priority - AF operating characteristics settings and shutter trigger synchronization for the first image in AI SERVO AF mode (descent priority, focus priority)
  • Sample AF with a 2 frame priority - settings of AF performance and synchronization of the shutter trigger after the first frame with serial shooting in AI SERVO AF mode (shooting speed priority, focus priority)
  • Turning on the AF help lamp (enabled, off, only an autofocus illumination IR backlight)
  • Search AF if it is impossible to achieve (continue / not continue)
  • AF Zone Selection Mode - AF Mode Selection Limit (default 1 point)
  • The method of selecting the field of autofocus
  • Oriented Point AF - autofocus associated with orientation
  • Handmade AF Point Mode
  • Illumination of AF points when focusing - situations in which appear points in the viewfinder
  • Viewfinder backlight (auto, inclusive)
  • Accurate AF setting - common to all or separately for each lens (you can save data up to 40 lens)

Measurement exposure

Canon 70D has a 63-zone TTL measurement with a fully open diaphragm. The chamber has the following measurement methods:

  • Evaluation measurement (associated with all autofocus points)
  • Part-based meter (covers about 7.7% viewfinder area in the center of the frame)
  • Cancer (covers about 3.0% viewfinder area in the center of the frame)

Canon EOS 70D is equipped with an APS-C Dual Pixel CMOS matrix with a size of 22.5 × 15 mm. The total number of pixels is 20.9 million, of which effective 20000,000. RAW has the CR2 extension, is saved as a 14-bit file with a resolution of 5472 × 3648 pixels.

You can also use MRAW and SRAW. These are scattered source files that can be edited as ordinary RAW. The MRAW format has a resolution of 4104 × 2736 pixels, which corresponds to a 11 megapixel photograph, and SRAW corresponds to a 5-megapixel image with a resolution of 2736 × 1824 pixels.

White balance

Canon 70D offers the following White Balance Modes (WB):

  • Auto (3000-7000K)
  • Daylight (5200K)
  • Shadow (7000K)
  • Cloudy, twilight, sunset (6000K)
  • Incandescent bulbs (3200K)
  • Fluorescent lamps (4000K)
  • Flash (automatic installation)
  • Manual (2000-10000K)
  • Color temperature (2500-10000K)

So we have the same set as in the previous model. White Balance Correction can be made in the menu. This correction will have the same effect as the use of color temperature conversion or filters on sale. The correction of each color provides its installation to one of the nine levels. Also, in the menu, you can set the white balance bracketing in the range from -3 to +3 relative to the zero position.

JPEG image quality

The camera can save JPEG images in five sizes: L (5472 x 3648 pixels), M (3648 × 2432 pixels), S1 (2736 × 1824 pixels), S2 (1920 × 1280 pixels) and S3 (720 × 480 pixels). For the first three available for selecting two levels of compression: low and medium. Photos in the size S2 and S3 are preserved in the default in low compression.

JPEG Image Style Settings can be changed in the Picture Style menu (Fourth Shooting Menu Tab). The following types of styles are available for selection: Auto, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Natural, Accurate, Monochrome, Custom 1-3

When shooting in Live View mode, it is possible to set the aspect ratio of the JPEG image. Four values \u200b\u200bare available: 3: 2, 4: 3, 16: 9, 1: 1. It is worth noting that the change in the aspect ratio when working with the viewfinder is not available, all images will be maintained in a 3: 2 ratio.

Canon 70D has an ISO sensitivity range from 100 to 12800 in step 1 or 1/3 of the EV stage. It is possible to expand ISO sensitivity range up to 25,600.

Canon 70D has a standard 8-ball sharpening scale (from 0 to 7). I want to warn you that with a high value of sharpness, the images look unnatural. In my opinion, the best results are obtained at the value 3, it is worth avoiding a higher value.

Art filters

Canon EOS 70D offers the ability to use various art filters. This feature is available only when shooting in LV and can be run from the pop-up menu. We can choose one of the following filters:

  • Granulas Ch / B
  • Soft focus
  • Effect fish eye
  • Effect Oil paints
  • Effect watercolor
  • Effect of toy camera
  • Miniature effect

These filters are also available in the view mode and can be applied to previously made images. Below are examples of filters.

HDR and MultyExposition

Canon 70D has a HDR shooting mode, the capabilities of which correspond to the capabilities of the full-frame model 6D. The camera in this mode makes three pictures with different exposure indicators (standard exposure, undustpage, overexposed), which are then automatically combined into one. The difference in exposure can be installed automatically or manually. For manual installation, three options are available: ± 1 EV, ± 2 EV, ± 3 EV.

Also, 70D has the ability to create an image with multi-exposure. As in the case of the HDR mode, the camera has the same options as 6D. This feature allows shooting, combining in one image from two to nine exposure.

In the settings, you can select the multi-exposure management method:

  • Addition - the exposition of each individual exposure is added cumulatively. Based on the indicator (quantity of exposures), it is proposed to establish a negative exposure compensation.
  • Averaging - based on the indicator (number of exposure) during shooting with multi-exposure, negative exposure compensation is set automatically. When shooting several exposures of the same scene, the exposure of the background of the subject is controlled automatically and receives the standard value.

Noise suppression

The Canon 70D cameras have a five-speed noise reduction scale: off, low, standard, strong, noise reduction in serial shooting (4 frames are combined into one file).

The noise processing system in 70D looks very effect. With an increase in the intensity of exposure to noise cancellation, the image quality is noticeably improved and this is not displayed on the details of the picture. Noise cancellation function with serial shooting shows really good results, this is the best noise option from available.

findings

Recently, it happens that the manufacturer is most often - especially in the segment of amateur cameras - makes a new model of the camera, which, compared with previous models, is almost no different. In this regard, the buyer receives exactly the same product, but must pay more money for him.

Undoubtedly, such a definition of improvement cannot be applied in the case of Canon 70D. Already analyzing the specification, you can see what many changes have occurred compared to 60d, and some of them relate to very important elements of the chamber. Theoretically, the user gets more than in the case of 60d. But how does it work in practice? Here opinions can be divided. Without a doubt, the test 70D shows that in such important categories as image quality, resolution, noise and tone range The new camera offers mainly the same characteristics as its predecessor. And in this respect, some disappointment is felt. Moreover, a completely new matrix is \u200b\u200bused, an enlarged number of pixels compared to the old 18 megapixel sensor used for several years on Canon SLR APS-C.

70D can be safely considered a step forward with respect to 60d. The new EOS offers an even more powerful and efficient autofocus system, higher performance and faster autofocus in serial shooting mode, in view mode and during video recording. In addition, video mode was expanded, and a Wi-Fi wireless connection is built-in, providing a communication with external devices. Thus, improvements are immediately noticeable compared to 60d.

It is necessary to say about the price of a new device. At the moment, 70D costs about 45 thousand rubles. The price, of course, is not small, especially from the point of view of the average photographer. As for Canon 60D, its value is approximately 29 thousand rubles. Refusing a newer model, you can purchase additional lenses. It's no secret that everything new is expensive, and EOS 70D is a novelty. In the near future it is quite difficult to expect the price of a price for a new EOS.

Display a moment in photos and video files in Full HD format

The EOS 70D camera has a new CMOS-sensor image sensor APS-C 20.2 MPIX, which is designed and manufactured by Canon. This is the world's first digital mirror chamber, which uses a revolutionary autofocus technology Dual Pixel CMOS AF. It provides smooth and accurate automatic focus adjustment when Full HD video recording, as well as fast autofocus when taking pictures in Live View mode.

The EOS 70D camera with a 14-bit DIGIC 5+ processor and an autofocus system with 19 crusades can create incredible photos in maximum resolution at a speed of up to seven frames per second - up to 65 shots in JPEG format or up to 16 shots in the RAW format in the series. In this case, the hardware range of ISO 100-12 800 sensitivity allows photographers to shoot with weak lighting and use shorter shutters without prejudice to image quality.

"I made a huge impression the number and variety of new technologies, simultaneously implemented in the EOS 70D, says Brutus Estling (Brutus Östling), Canon Ambassador. - EOS 70D is a magnificent camera for everyone who wants to develop their photographic skills. It not only helps without difficulty and with high quality photographing people, nature and dynamic plots, but also offers a video in Full HD format with such a focus rate, which I still considered impossible. This camera perfectly showed itself in the most difficult conditions. The technology of the new generation easily coped with all the tasks that I put in front of it - a new technology Dual Pixel CMOS AF has demonstrated especially. It really displays a photo and video digital mirror camera to a new level. "

The new Canon Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology provides fast autofocus operation when shooting in Live View mode, as well as smooth and accurate focusing when video filming in Full HD format. With this camera, a user will easily master the new techniques for video filming, as it accurately holds the focus on moving objects and allows you to create professional focus translation effects. This technology Based on the advanced CMOS image sensor architecture. Inside each pixel of this sensor, two photodiodes are installed, which can be read independently for autofocus or together to form a high-quality image.

The high-quality autofocus system for photography includes 19 anti-focus points of the Cross type, which are dispersed on the frame area. It provides fast and accurate autofocus - the ideal solution for shooting athletes or wild animals. The autofocus system provides an individual setting, so the photographer can adapt it to the shooting conditions. You can select individual autofocus points, small groups, as well as indicate a wide active zone if an unexpected movement of the object is likely. Using a special button of selection of the autofocus zone, which is conveniently located next to the shutter shutter, the photographer can quickly switch between modes without tearing away from the viewfinder.

Thoughtful design for professional management

Wide EOS 70D technical capabilities are implemented in a carefully thought-out building, which provides a comfortable and quick job. Using an intelligent viewfinder with a 98 percentage of frame coverage and an increase in 0.95X, a photographer can conveniently combine frame and control the shooting parameters. Conveniently located controls open instant access to the most frequently used settings, such as the ISO sensitivity selection, autofocus mode and exposure, so that the user can quickly change the parameters without being distracted by shooting.

The Clear View LCD II sensor LCD screen with a diagonal of 7.7 cm (3 inches) and an alternating angle of inclination has 1040 thousand points and is ideal for video shooting or photography from unusual angles. The capacitive screen supports multisensor gestures, including scrolling, increase and decrease, so that you can conveniently navigate the menu, setting parameters and scrolling images.

Wide connectivity for convenient management and quick data exchange

EOS 70D is the latest EOS model with a built-in Wi-Fi module for remote camera control and image sending. The EOS Remote application uses a Wi-Fi connection to remotely control a large number of camera settings, including ISO and exposure parameters, as well as focusing and shutter descent. The photographer can also remotely use Live View mode, view and evaluate images.

Freedom of creativity

The EOS 70D camera offers a set of creative modes for easy creation of unique images. The built-in dynamic range expansion mode (HDR) solves the task of shooting complex high-contrast scenes, creating out of three frames with a different exposure one, well transmitting parts both in dark and in brightly lit areas. The multi-exposure mode allows the photographer to combine in one image up to nine frames, and the set of creative filters is intended for instant style stylization. A user can easily experiment with external flashes thanks to the camera built into the camera, which can control multiple CANON Speedlite Ex Flaps.

Creative video in Full HD format

EOS 70D allows not only easy to create wonderful photos, but also to record high-quality video. For video recording Full HD (1920 x 1080p), you can select multiple frame rate options, including 30, 25 or 24 frames / s, in 720p mode, the frequency 60 and 50 frame / s is available, and for subsequent processing and transmission there are various compression parameters . Thanks to the new technology

DUAL PIXEL CMOS AF The tracking autofocus mode during video recording tracks moving objects and provides unchangedly clear focus even when changing the frame composition. The user directly during the video can simply touch the touch screen to choose different focus areas by more than 80% of the frame area - it helps to provide clarity when shooting moving objects or changing the frame composition.

Fans of video filming will like stereo recording using the built-in microphone, as well as the ability to improve the sound quality using the connected external microphone. In manual mode, it is possible to complete the parameters such as the ISO and the diaphragm sensitivity. Such freedom of action helps the user to improve their skills.
