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.

(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 mode
Handheld Night Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and
detailed dark areas, delivering results previously difficult 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’s Handheld Night Scene mode makes
dramatic nighttime photography simple.
HDR Backlight Control mode
The EOS 70D camera’s HDR Backlight Control mode ensures 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, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed.
Seven Creative Filters that can be displayed in real time
To add to the fun and creative possibilities available with the EOS 70D, the
camera has seven different Creative Filters that can dramatically alter the mood
and visual effect of any particular scene. Creative Filters include Grainy Black

camera features an intelligent Multi Shot Noise Reduction tool that reduces
noise even further than the camera’s sensor and the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor do.
With Multi Shot Noise Reduction activated, the camera takes four consecutive
shots, merges and aligns them. This eliminates more noise than the camera’s
traditional Noise Reduction filter, with little or no apparent resolution loss.
Moving subjects are even optimized to minimize subject blur! Thanks to this
clever feature, high ISO shooting has never looked better.
Lens Aberration Correction
The EOS 70D features lens correction tools that compensate for lens
characteristics that can affect overall image quality. The EOS 70D camera’s
Peripheral Illumination Correction feature corrects light falloff in the corner
of the image according to the characteristics of the lens being used. It even
has correction data for a number of popular lenses stored in its memory. With
the chromatic aberration correction tool, distracting color fringing can be
corrected at the time of shooting.
Feature Guide
To help explain the specific function of features found on the EOS 70D, the
Feature Guide displays a simple description helpful in determining the
applicability for the situation at hand. It is displayed in each shooting mode,
during mode dial operations, and for Quick Control screen functions. It appears
automatically when a function is selected – a lifesaver when trying to determine
the best mode or function for the next picture. The feature guide works
automatically by default, and can be disabled easily through the camera’s menu.
GPS Compatible
With the optional GPS Receiver GP-E2 attached to the hot shoe or the digital
