The EOS 80D camera features an impressive 45-point all cross-type AF system1 that provides high-speed, highly precise AF in virtually any kind of light. To help ensure photographers don’t miss their shot, an Intelligent Viewfinder with approximately 100% coverage provides a clear view and comprehensive image data. Improvements like a powerful 24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS sensor and Dual Pixel CMOS AF for Live View shooting enhance performance across the board. Complementing the EOS 80D’s advanced operation are built-in wireless connectivity and Full HD 60p movies that can be saved as MP4s for easy sharing.

The EOS 80D camera has a wide-area, 45-point, all cross-type AF system1. Excellent in dim light, it has improved low luminance performance to EV -3 and is compatible with most EF lenses (lenses with maximum apertures of f/8 or higher, and some lenses with extenders attached may operate at a maximum of 27 points). It also features 4 AF area selection modes, including user-selectable Single-point AF, Zone AF, Large Zone AF and 45-point AF auto selection.

The EOS 80D camera’s Intelligent Viewfinder provides a bright and comprehensive view. Approximately 100% coverage means there’s virtually no guesswork when composing, and with all settings available at a glance, the Intelligent Viewfinder helps photographers keep their eye on their subject to capture the image at the right instant.

The EOS 80D camera features a 24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS sensor that captures high-resolution images and features refined individual pixels that enable high ISO speeds of 16000 for still photographs (expandable to 25600) and 12800 for movies (expandable to 16000, 25600). Equipped with high resolution and high sensitivity, the sensor works with the camera’s DIGIC 6 Image Processor to enable Dual Pixel CMOS AF during Live View operation, and while capturing both Full HD 60p and Full HD HDR movies.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF delivers fast, smooth and accurate AF and tracking during Live View and movie shooting. Equipped with phase-difference detection autofocus, it provides virtually no loss in image quality with extended coverage across approximately 80% of the image plane Dual Pixel CMOS AF excels with video shooting, helping to ensure focus is achieved naturally and precisely, even when switching between subjects. Combined with the predictive power of Movie Servo AF, subjects in motion are smoothly

Full HD 60p

It’s easy to capture and share high-definition, sharp and beautifully exposed movies. Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides fast focus, and Movie Servo AF tracking helps maintain focus in the action. The Vari-angle Touchscreen monitor makes composing easy, while Creative Filters and a Video Snapshot feature encourage experimentation. Both MOV and MP4 formats are supported for fast and easy sharing. Manual volume recording control, digital zooming and a headphone terminal add to the impressive collection of high-end moviemaking features.

Vari-angle Touchscreen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II helps capture videos and stills at a variety of angles, with up to 270° of vertical rotation and up to 175° of horizontal rotation. It delivers intuitive touch panel operation, easy setting access and Touch AF. Displaying fine detail (at approximately 1.04 million dots), this screen can be ideal for composing and reviewing images. Smudge-resistant coating helps minimize fingerprints and maintain a clear image display, even in bright light.

The DIGIC 6 Image Processor helps provide excellent image quality and processing speed. High light sensitivity allows for high resolution with less noise when shooting in dark conditions at ISO 12800. It also delivers full resolution high-speed continuous still shooting and distortion correction in-camera. Video recording in MP4 format provides seamless compatibility with mobile devices and tablets and preserves space on your memory card while improving playback on mobile devices. Recording HD videos using HDR movie feature is possible.

expandable to 25600) for stills and ISO 100–12800 (expandable to 16000/25600) for movies, performing brilliantly in low-light shooting even without a flash. Used with one of Canon’s EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer, the EOS 80D can record beautiful images even when light sources are scarce.

fine-tuned RGB+IR metering sensor helps ensure accurate exposure and uses Color Tracking to detect skin color and help provide precise AF. This is particularly useful when establishing focus for portraits in situations where other AF systems may falter. When a skin tone is detected, AI Servo AF starts off on skin-colored points, then tracks the subject based of the original AF point’s color information, maintaining focus on the person even when they’re in motion.

electronically controlled speeds from 1/8000 to 30 sec. at up to 7 fps. An improved mirror drive enables high-speed, low-vibration performance, and even has a silent mode for up to 3 fps, continuous and quiet use. The shutter is rated to 100,000 exposures for predictable, reliable performance.
