Dual Pixel CMOS AF

The EOS 70D has an innovative technology from Canon, the new
Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a progressive move in speed and accuracy that opens the
potential of Live View shooting. This game-changer of a technology will forever
change what is possible with a DSLR camera.

Camcorder-Like VIdeo

Cutting-edge and revolutionary has great benefits and the Dual Pixel CMOS AF
clearly has the evidence 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.

When you combine with the predictive power of Movie Servo AF,
subjects in motion are smoothly and consistently tracked as the EOS 70D locks
focus and does not let go. Plus, with the shallow depth-of-field afforded by
EOS optics, your video gains a cinematic ambience.

Quick and Accurate Live View Focus

Dual Pixel CMOS AF makes Live View AF precise and faster than
ever when shooting still pictures, so the photographer has the freedom to take
advantage of the freedom of angle afforded by the camera’s Vari-angle LCD
monitor. Crisp focus can be obtained nearly instantly across a wide shooting
area which means even spontaneous or fleeting shots are given clarity. 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.

Brilliant 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.

Simple and Convenient Built-In Wireless Technology

The new EOS 70D blends 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. With the help of
a smartphone that has the EOS Remote app installed, you can shoot remotely from
a distance, even in Live View mode; 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 allows easy sharing between the EOS 70D and other DLNA
products, like HDTVs, smartphones and more.
