Canon EOS 7D Mark II, in addition to achieving a fast continuous shooting speed of up to approximately 10 frames per second (fps), features an all-new AF system that covers a wide imaging area and employs 65 autofocus points, each of which provides cross-type coverage*1—the highest number of cross-type autofocus points offered by any EOS-series camera. The camera is equipped with the EOS iTR AF (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition Auto Focus) function, which tracks a subject’s face or target color, and AI Servo AF III, which delivers high-precision autofocus tracking.
Furthermore, the EOS 7D Mark II newly incorporates the Intelligent Viewfinder II, which displays AF sensor points and information related to various camera settings, enabling users to change shooting settings without having to pull away from the viewfinder.

Employing a newly developed approximately 20.2-megapixel APS-C-size CMOS sensor and Canon’s Dual DIGIC 6 image processors, the new 7D Mark II realizes a maximum standard ISO sensitivity of ISO16000*2 when capturing both photos and movies, making possible outstanding imaging results with reduced noise and rich color gradation. Furthermore, the camera’s improved AE (Automatic Exposure) system not only precisely controls exposure based on the subject being tracked, but also detects and compensates for flickering light when shooting in artificial lighting.
Delivering high reliability even in harsh shooting conditions, the EOS 7D Mark II offers exceptional dust and water resistance, and features a magnesium alloy body design that makes possible superior durability.

Incorporating Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, which delivers smooth, highly responsive autofocusing performance, the EOS 7D Mark II enables users to effortlessly capture clear, highly expressive movies. The new digital SLR camera is capable of recording Full HD video at a fast frame rate of 59.94 fps, and newly supports MP4, a file format that offers high compatibility with a variety of movie player hardware and software.

*1 Number of AF sensors, cross-type AF sensors and dual-cross-type sensors changes depending on lens used.
*2 The expanded ISO ranges when capturing still images and movies are ISO512000 and ISO256000, respectively.
