EOS CAMERAS
19-point all cross-type AF
The EOS 70D camera 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, to
handle even the trickiest of focus situations
with ease. With cross-type AF points placed
throughout a wide area, the camera’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 helps deliver 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.
Intelligent Viewfinder
Displaying more information, simply
and easily, the EOS 70D camera’s
Intelligent Viewfinder makes it simple to adjust
and confirm settings without the risk of
missing a beat. It displays AF mode, AF points,
electronic level, grid, even alerts informing
when WB is being corrected or spot metering is
enabled and much more. With an approximately
98% field of view and a new coating that reduces
reflections and improved construction that
improves response in cold environments, the
EOS 70D camera’s Intelligent Viewfinder sets a
new standard for viewfinders.
iFCL Metering System
The EOS 70D camera features Canon’s dual-layer
63-zone iFCL (intelligent Focus Color Luminance)
Metering System that integrates the camera’s AF
system into its readings. By taking into account
the color and luminosity surrounding the chosen
AF point(s), the iFCL system delivers a superb
level of accuracy, especially in situations where
the light changes quickly. The metering sensor
enables evaluative, center weighted, partial and
spot metering, plus offers 5-step exposure
compensation for exquisitely exposed images.
Compact Body
The EOS 70D camera has been fully re-engineered
to deliver advanced operation, simply, in a
comfortable-to-carry compact design perfect for
all-day photography. A newly designed shutter,
rated to 100,000 cycles, enables a smaller overall
camera without compromising performance.
With buttons placed for intuitive operation, a
grip designed for confident, extended use, even
one-handed, and a durable, versatile articulating
LCD monitor, the EOS 70D is a joy to use.
HDR Mode
With High Dynamic Range mode,
the EOS 70D camera can merge
three images of varying exposure, in-camera,
capturing a broad range of shadow and
highlight detail and delivering a final image
with stunning tonal range. Adjustable to cover
a range of ±3 stops, HDR recording with the
EOS 70D expands the range of the light and
dark detail the camera can record, creating an
image with an impressive range of detail in the
brightest and darkest areas of the composition.
Multiple Exposure Modes
The EOS 70D camera has a
Multiple Exposure mode for
film-like image creation with the
convenience of in-camera processing. It offers
two different compositing methods for proper
exposure and composition: additive or average.
Multiple exposure shots from 2 to 9 are stored
as one final image and can be taken in both
RAW and JPEG shooting modes. A RAW image
previously captured by the EOS 70D (3:2 aspect
ratio only) can be used as a starting point, and
cumulative results can be observed and corrected
in real time on the camera’s LCD screen.
Handheld Night Scene
Handheld Night Scene mode captures
nightscapes with bright highlights and
detailed dark areas, delivering results that
would be difficult to obtain without the use of
a tripod. By shooting and combining four
consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast
enough to avoid camera shake, the EOS 70D
camera’s Handheld Night Scene mode helps
make dramatic nighttime photography simple.
HDR Backlight Control
The EOS 70D camera’s HDR Backlight Control
mode helps ensure that backlit subjects are
not recorded too darkly. By automatically
shooting three consecutive shots at different
exposures (underexposed, correctly exposed
and overexposed) and combining the images,
the final result maintains detail in both the
shadow and highlight areas, resulting in a
backlit subject that is properly exposed.
Creative Filters
To add to the fun and creative possibilities,
seven different Creative Filters are available
with the EOS 70D camera, which can dramatically
alter the mood and visual effect of a particular
scene. Creative Filters include Grainy Black and
White, Soft Focus, Fisheye Effect, Toy Camera
Effect, Miniature Effect, Art Bold Effect and
Water Painting Effect. Each effect can be
applied in three different levels (low, standard
and strong), and easily previewed on the LCD
panel in Live View. Since the filters can also be
applied to the image after shooting, it’s easy to
try several effects on the same shot.
Multi Shot Noise Reduction
To enhance its high ISO shooting capabilities,
the EOS 70D camera features an intelligent
Multi Shot Noise Reduction tool that reduces
noise even further. With Multi Shot Noise
Reduction enabled, the camera takes four
continuous shots, merges and aligns them,
with little or no apparent resolution loss.
Moving subjects are even optimized to minimize
subject blur! Thanks to this clever new
feature, high ISO shooting looks superb.

for even large enlargements and offering enough
resolution for significant cropping while
maintaining the detail and essence of the
particular scene. 14-bit signal processing helps
ensure outstanding tonal gradation and a wide
ISO range of 100–12800 (H: 25600) helps ensure
outstanding image capture even in dim lighting
situations. The EOS 70D camera’s image sensor
combines with Canon’s powerful 5+ Image

Run), which is useful for multi-camera shoots.
It also features improved sound recording
adjustment capabilities, offering 64-step
volume control accessible through the Quick
Control screen, plus a dedicated microphone
jack for convenience in shooting. The CMOS
sensor’s drive system significantly increases
image processor performance, reducing color
artifacts and moiré (a common problem that
occurs in scenes with fine parallel lines), and
helps ensure that the camera can record at a
number of frame rates, and up to ISO 25600
in H mode. Exposure, focus and Live View
features, even in-camera editing, are simple to
control with the EOS 70D camera’s clear and
intuitive interface.
Movie Servo AF
For accurate focus tracking during motion
capture, the EOS 70D camera features
Canon’s Movie Servo AF for enhanced speed
and reliability. Taking advantage of its
innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF system,
the camera locks focus on its subject with
great speed and tracks it, throughout the
