have never seen

sharper images from

fast-moving sports. The

new and improved AF

system is easier to use,

which

makes pho-

running

children or

sports faster. Having

the choice of two regis-

tered AF points for

vertical and horizontal

shooting is a great

bonus. I am always

amazed, at the new

functions that make

shooting with my

EOS 7D camera faster,

easier and better. It

delivers.”

New Viewfinder, Intelligent New

Perspective

The EOS 7D features a bright, clear, completely

redesigned viewfinder that offers approximately 100%

coverage, 1x magnification, a glass pentaprism, a 29.4°

angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment. It

also features the new Intelligent Viewfinder, which super-

imposes important shooting tools, like a grid display or the

new Dual Axis Electronic Level, within the viewfinder.

Advanced 19-point AF System

Canon EOS SLR cameras have consistently fea-

tured cutting-edge AF technologies; the EOS 7D takes them

a step further. The EOS 7D uses a brand new 19-point AF

all cross-type system providing tremendous AF coverage

and phenomenal control over focusing point selection.

Any of the 19 high-precision, cross-type AF points can be

selected automatically or manually. High-speed microcom-

puters in the EOS 7D use advanced algorithms that ensure

fast, accurate and responsive AF performance under the

widest variety of conditions. Focus tracking is on par with

the EOS-1D/1Ds series, and includes single point AF, a new

Spot AF mode, and AF point expansion where AF points

surrounding the one chosen can assist. The EOS 7D can

them automatically in both horizontal and vertical shooting

positions. The EOS 7D also has an all-new Zone AF system,

wherein one of five distinct focus zones can be chosen, par-

ticularly useful for off-center subjects. ONE-SHOT AF mode is

ideal for static subjects — the camera rapidly selects the

optimum focusing point, and the subject is instantly brought

into focus. AI SERVO II AF mode is excellent for moving sub-

jects; it precisely tracks subject movement across the wide

AF coverage area, automatically shifting the active focusing

point as required. AI FOCUS AF mode, which automatically

switches between One Shot and AI Servo AF modes based

on subject movement, is ideal for stop-and-go subjects. In

addition, Canon Light Source detection AF automatically

compensates the focus by taking into account

artificial lighting. The new AF algorithms used for

tracking performance in the EOS 7D camera are so

responsive that AI Servo II AF can even be used

when shooting with EF and EF-S Macro lenses at

high magnification to help ensure that unpredictable

moving subjects, like a flower in a breeze, retain

sharp focus. No matter what mode chosen, the

EOS 7D’s autofocus is fast, reliable and versatile.

And with Canon’s Intelligent Viewfinder technology,

chosen AF points can be displayed or hidden easily

in the Intelligent Viewfinder.
