canon 70d lcd screen not working manufacturer

1.) Press the "INFO" button on the back of the camera. Press it repeatedly and it should cycle through the different modes. One of the modes is actually "LCD OFF", so that could be the culprit.

2.) Also make sure that the rubber "eyecup" padding has not slid up 1/4 inch and covered the "display off sensor" that turns the display off when you put your face up to the camera. If that rubber eye pad (or dirt or makeup or your thumb or anything else) is covering the sensor, then the display would turn off thinking you have the camera up to your face.

Today after noon, I have worked for two hours and turned off the camera at location. On the way home i have turned on the Camera, but back LCD stopped working. Able to boot the camera and took couple of pictures without back LCD working.

1. Turned on the Camera, Took the battery and SD card out of the camera. After 5 min, I have kept the battery and SD card into the camera and turned on: LCD not working. Able to take pictures.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to ask what could be the problem with my Canon 70d? A few days earlier, while taking pictures, my camera"s LCD screen had suddenly turned black. When pressing the buttons like the menu, info, playback etc, the screen can still show it. However, when you put it back to shooting mode, the screen is still black but you can see the grid (it looks like you have the lens cap on). So I tried to press the start/stop button or even turn it off and then on again to make it go back to normal. Sometimes it goes back to normal in just one press but other times, it doesn"t. I"m not really good at explaining but feel free to ask me questions to make it more clear. I attached a picture below to give you all an idea on what it looks like.

I"m guessing what you want the LCD screen to display while shooting stills is your camera settings. If so, I had the same problem. Turn on the 7D in shooting modes and the LCD is black. I was trying to use the "mode selection" buttons to set drive mode. With the black LCD screen, when I pressed the AF/Drive button nothing would appear on the LCD screen to enable making changes. In desparation, I reset all camera settings to default. That didn"t work. Digging deeper, I found that I could reset all "custom functions", pg. 204 in owner"s manual. That didn"t work But, aha, while fooling with that, I noticed the Canon note at the bottom of pg. 229 that says, "If you turn off the power while the "shooting settings display" screen is displayed, the same screen will be displayed when you turn on the power again. To avoid this, press the button to turn off the display on the LCD monitor, then turn off the power switch."

The long-awaited Canon 70D comes packed with a groundbreaking new technology -- Canon"s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system -- that provides on-chip phase detection autofocus at every single pixel. That means a DSLR can finally record video with full-time continuous AF that"s truly camcorder-like, with smooth racking and exceptional subject tracking. And it improves Live View AF to the point where using the LCD monitor feels almost as fast as traditional viewfinder shooting. The 70D also gets an upgrade to 20.2 megapixels of resolution, as well as compelling Wi-Fi features that include remote image capture with full exposure controls. The camera may not wow enthusiasts looking for significantly better still image quality, but the Canon 70D marks a serious step up for photographers wanting pro-level video performance and quality.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF delivers full-time continuous autofocus (with phase detect at every pixel in framing area) for video and Live View still shooting; Full HD (1080p) video recording with pro-level features and quality; Improved resolution and good high ISO performance; Excellent Wi-Fi remote shooting with full exposure controls; 3-inch articulating LCD touchscreen.

Image quality only improved slightly over 60D; Dynamic range still lags behind competing models; May not feature enough upgrades to convince people to step up from 60D.

Available since September 2013, the Canon EOS 70D is priced at around US$1,200 body-only. Two kit bundles are offered: one with the 18-55mm STM lens for US$1,350, and another with the 18-135mm STM lens for US$1,550. A dedicated 70D battery grip is also available for US$270.

The Canon 70D has been replaced by the Canon 80D, which earned our top pick for Best Intermediate DSLR in our 2016 Camera of the Year awards. The Canon 80D sports a higher-resolution 24MP sensor, a faster processor and a beefed-up 45-point AF system, as well as brings over the excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology from the 70D. For all the details, read our Canon 80D review, or to see how the original 70D stacks up against the new Canon 80D, check out our side-by-side comparison here: Canon 70D vs. Canon 80D.

The Canon 70D (70D bundles and savings) may very well have started a revolution with an innovative autofocus system that"s new not only for Canon DSLRs, but also for the camera industry as a whole. Thanks to its Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, the Canon 70D -- a replacement for the three-year-old 60D -- could change the way you shoot both video and still images.

At the heart of this innovation is the Canon 70D"s image sensor, a 20.2-megapixel APS-C-type CMOS chip that"s been designed to accommodate on-chip phase detection -- but with one huge difference. To date, on-chip phase detect systems have provided but a handful of focus points scattered across the sensor"s surface. With the Canon 70D, almost two-thirds of its surface area at the center of the frame can provide phase-detect AF, and not just at a handful of locations -- we"re talking phase detect at every single pixel.

And unlike typical hybrid systems which use phase detect simply for a ballpark distance and direction to focus, then fine-tune with contrast-detect AF, the Canon 70D"s on-chip phase detect is accurate enough that tuning with contrast detection isn"t necessary. That is huge news for video capture, because it means no more hunting around the point of focus. With the AF bobble gone, full-time video becomes a much more exciting proposition, letting you quickly and smoothly guide your viewers" attention between subjects without distraction.

The new image sensor doesn"t just drive the completely new autofocus system; in addition, its resolution has been increased slightly over the Canon 60D"s. Sensor size is unchanged, but Canon has increased the active imaging area of the sensor slightly, from 22.3 x 14.9mm to 22.5 x 15.0mm. This means that, although pixel pitch has been reduced, the difference isn"t as great as you might otherwise expect. A simultaneous switch to Canon"s new DIGIC 5+ image processor further aims to tame image noise.

The net result is that, according to Canon, the 70D will produce noise levels that are roughly on par with the lower-res 60D for raw shooting. Meanwhile, the company says that JPEG shooters will see a "huge improvement" in image quality. To back up that claim, the ISO sensitivity range has been expanded to encompass everything from ISO 100 to 12,800 equivalents, with the ability to expand sensitivity as high as ISO 25,600 equivalent. Further in our review we"ll see if the camera live up to these promises.

The new image processor also yields a significant increase in burst shooting performance, which is now rated by Canon at a full seven frames per second.

Canon has gifted the EOS 70D with a new body that"s just slightly smaller, while retaining the same side-swiveling LCD monitor, and packing in several new features. These include a touch-panel overlay on the LCD monitor, built-in Wi-Fi wireless networking connectivity, a stereo microphone, and the same Live View control seen on other recent Canon SLRs. And supplementing the new on-chip phase detection system, there"s also a new dedicated autofocus sensor, identical to that used in the EOS 7D.

[Note that in some markets, a variant of the Canon EOS 70D is offered without the aforementioned Wi-Fi wireless networking connectivity. Technically, the Wi-Fi enabled variant is known as the EOS 70D (W), and the variant without Wi-Fi as the EOS 70D (N).]

The Canon EOS 70D"s design clearly shows a strong focus on video. Here, it"s compared to one of the most video-friendly mirrorless cameras, Panasonic"s Lumix DMC-GH3.

As well as all of the hardware changes, Canon has made numerous tweaks to firmware as well. These include the ability to preview creative filter effects before shooting, a new 3x to 10x variable video zoom function, the same video snapshot feature seen in recent Rebel-series cameras, and a choice of both ALL-I and IPB compression schemes for video, along with optional time code.

Walkaround. Although the Canon 70D looks a lot like its predecessor, it does feature a brand-new body design. Let"s take a look at what"s stayed the same, and what"s been changed.

Seen from the front, the Canon 70D is a little less wide than is predecessor. Otherwise, though, the basic dimensions are pretty close to those of the 60D. The arrangement of controls and features on the front of the camera is near-identical. The most significant difference is the absence of the small four-hole microphone port that, on the 60D, sat directly above the model number badge.

Seen from above, the Canon 70D likewise retains an arrangement very much like that of the 60D. As well as the two four-hole ports for the relocated microphone -- now stereo, and straddling the rear of the hot shoe -- there"s a new button between the Shutter button and front dial. This new control is used to select between autofocus area modes. The number of positions on the Mode dial has also been slashed by a third, to just 10.

It"s when you come to the rear of the camera that the changes are more significant. In fact, something of a game of musical chairs has taken place. The Menu and Info buttons have jumped from the top right corner of the LCD monitor, and now sit above its top left corner, instead. With its chair taken, the Delete button has grabbed a spot at the bottom right corner of the display.

The left-hand side of the EOS 70D (as seen from the rear) also shows a few changes. The connectivity available on this side is as it was, but the original single flap covering all of the ports has been split in two, with one half moved slightly behind the other. Microphone / wired remote terminals sit in front of and above the HDMI and combined AV Out / Digital (USB) ports. Above these, the speaker grille is now a nine-hole instead of seven-hole arrangement.

As the years go by, we see camera technology advance by fits and starts. Some developments are a bigger deal than others, but it"s rare that anything really amounts to a true technological breakthrough. However, the Canon 70D"s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system qualifies.

This new AF system is as revolutionary a development as any we can remember seeing since the dawn of the DSLR era itself. By integrating accurate, fully-capable phase-detect autofocus over a majority of the image sensor"s surface, Canon is fundamentally rewriting the book on autofocus.

The Canon 70D delivers phase-detect autofocus across an area that"s fully 80% of the height and width of the sensor, that allowsany area within that region to become a focus point, that can remain operational during video recording, and that will operate at any aperture. It"s a whole new AF ballgame, and one that"s going to shake the DSLR video business to its roots.

Sensor. The story of the Canon EOS 70D begins and ends with its 20.2 megapixel, APS-C CMOS image sensor. It"s absolutely unique, with two photodiodes sitting under a single shared microlens at each pixel location. This, as we"ve described in much more detail further up the page, allows Canon to provide for on-chip phase detection at every pixel location over almost two-thirds of the sensor"s surface area.

Processor. The Canon 70D replaces its predecessor"s DIGIC 4 image processor with a newer DIGIC 5+ variant, first seen in the EOS-1D X professional digital SLR. The new processor allows improvements both in performance, and in image quality.

When Canon announced the 5D Mark II five years ago, it took the video production world by storm. It was the first full-frame DSLR with high-definition video recording capabilities, and was offered at an extremely affordable price compared to other large-sensor video cameras at the time. It wasn"t a slim margin, either: The Canon 5D II was tens of thousands of dollars more affordable, and yet still had a larger sensor than its rivals! However, for the average video shooter or casual consumer, the 5D Mark II and other subsequent HD-DSLRs all lacked a critical feature: full-time continuous autofocus for video.

Now, the Canon 70D isn"t the first Canon DSLR with video autofocus by any means, as most of the brand"s newer models have some form of continuous Live View AF. However, the Canon 70D feels like the first DSLR that does continuous Live View AF properly. Canon"s new Dual Pixel CMOS AF is pretty amazing -- and not just for video. It works great for still photography, too, as I found out during my time putting it through its paces.

I"ve been a Canon user for a few years now and shoot both still photography and video. I started with a 7D, and a while later added a 5D Mark II to the mix. In terms of still photography, I love my 5D Mark II for landscapes and occasional events or portraits, but my 7D has been my go-to still camera for capturing anything fast and tough to shoot, such as sports and wildlife, thanks to its more advanced autofocus and higher speed continuous shooting.

So, the Canon 70D is awesome for video. But how about stills? Does the added resolution help or hinder the 70D compared to its predecessor? Do the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system"s two photodiodes sharing a single microlens at each pixel location impact still image quality? We compare Canon 70D with the Canon 60D, Canon 7D, Olympus OM-D E-M5, Pentax K-5 II and Nikon D7100 to find out how the 70D competes in still image quality. Have a look and let your eyes be the judge!

NOTE: Images are best quality JPEGs straight out of the camera, at default settings including noise reduction. All cameras in this comparison were shot with our very sharp reference lenses.

Image quality on the screen and printed output don"t always mesh. Our print quality analysis gives you a definitive answer to the question: "How large can I print my photos as I push ISO?"

The Canon 70D more than holds its own in the print quality department, delivering sharp, worthwhile images at sizes comparable to its competition all the way up the sensitivity scale. It is worth noting here that one of its primary competitors, the Nikon D7100 (70D vs D7100), does print one size larger at base ISO due in large part to higher resolution and the lack of a low pass filter, but the 70D stays in step for most of the remaining ISOs, and even bests the D7100 at ISO 25,600. The D7100 does better at resolving detail in our difficult red fabric swatch, while the 70D does a better job controlling noise in shadowy areas as ISO rises, so there"s a definite trade-off one direction or another. But for the most part these two challengers deliver comparable image quality other than the difference we mentioned at base ISO.

The Canon 70D ultimately may not have delivered what everyone wanted or expected -- a significant upgrade in still image quality over its predecessor, the 60D -- but instead it ushered in a new technology so unexpected (and useful) that there"s no way we could be disappointed. We love when a camera manufacturer surprises us with a treat like Canon"s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. After all, a rare, ground-breaking innovation like this doesn"t come around too often.

What"s even better is that the 70D"s full-time phase detection autofocus system for video and Live View shooting -- with PDAF at every pixel in the AF area -- more than lives up to its promise. We were thoroughly impressed by how quickly and accurately the Dual Pixel CMOS AF operated. For movies, this technology finally puts true camcorder-like performance into an HD-DSLR; it"s been a long time coming. Racking focus between near and far subjects is especially easy and smooth with the 70D"s LCD touchscreen touch-to-focus feature. And when using Live View for still shooting, the advanced autofocusing felt nearly as fast as traditional viewfinder shooting under most scenarios.

I replaced the sensor and it"s not an issue with that. I"m awaiting the arrival of a motherboard to make a conclusion, but aside from the main board and sensor, I doubt there"s anything that would cause this issue.

I have to tell you, I was reluctant to buy an APS-C body camera like the EOS 70D after being spoiled by the image quality in the full-sized professional sensors of the original 5D and then the 5D Mark III.

The sensor in cameras like the 70D is about 2/3 the size of the sensors in the full-frame Canon cameras like the 1DX, 5D Mark III, and 6D. That makes the 70D lighter and more affordable.

Well, I took the plunge and bought a 70D. Its now replaced my 5D Mark III as my take anywhere camera. I like it too damn much. Smaller, lighter and excellent image quality.

It"s a top notch camera, but does it make sense for you to buy one? It"s a good fit if youare a first time buyer of a Canon DSLR and you want a great camera, but don"t want to spend a fortune.

Whenever Canon makes a new offer in this line, critics comment that Canon continues to offer new models that are not significantly different from their predecessors. I guess we"re all hungry for major breakthroughs in design.

Should the folks at Canon only introduce a new camera when there is a big leap in technology? I"m not so sure. They may sell fewer of each recently introduced model, but it gives us photographers more to chose one that fits just right.

I am a Canon Geek but I don"t blindly support everything they do.  I try to stay somewhere in the middle. With the EOS 70D, they made some great improvements.

This works in both live view and movie mode. The vari-angle touch screen allow you to touch it for selecting points of focus in the scene.  That"s pretty cool my friends!

You can really create the look of professional movie making with the ability to change the focus from one subject to another during recording by a simple touch of the screen.

When I first wrote this article, the intensive, high-tech reviews were not in yet, but it is the best live view AF system developed so far in the world of DSLR photography.

It"s fun to use.  I have never been a big LCD guy, but this screen is really responsive and you can access the menu on the LCD instantly with a push of the handy Quick Control "Q" button.

I always used the standard menu button with my DLSRs to go into settings until the "Q" came along. Once you get used to it, it"s a real fast way to change the 70D"s camera settings.

The EOS 70D  weighs about 25% less than the 5D Mark III. Signifiacnt, but not a huge difference. The big difference in weight comes into play if you use one of the EF-S lenses instead of an EF lens.

The Canon EOS 70D is also fully equipped for communication via WiFi in several ways.  Some of these should be very appealing to you, but whatever method of sharing you like, the EOS 70D has you covered.

Canon has added the new BG-E14 battery grip as a primary accessory.  That is another to add to the growing list of Canon battery grips.  Battery grips are a nice add-on gadget to add to your arsenal of accessories.

Canon does have a commitment to constantly improve their cameras and accessories. I just think Canon could have designed the 70D to use one of the previous model"s grips.

How does the 70d compare with the Canon EOS 60D? You can see the 70D (on the left) is slimmed down a bit from the 60D.  The 60D has a little more finger room for those photographers with big hands. More on the 60d vs 70D comparison

You want to buy from a trusted dealer and you want to get a cheap Canon 70D price when you buy one. I"ve had a lot of experience with buying cameras, lenses, and accessories. It started with ads in "Popular Photography" magazine and mail order through Porters Camera Store"s (now out of business) catalogs.

I purchased my Canon EOS 70D from Adorama. Now, I do most of my on-line shopping (including Canon cameras and Accessories) on Amazon because of all the reviews I read there and because of their return policy and their competitive pricing.

Here"s a page with a few helpful Canon 70D videos shot by other photographers. These videos will give you more of an idea of what it would be like to own a 70D camera.  I watched many and weeded out several bad videos and narrowed down to these three videos for you to watch

The technical reviews came in and image quality ratings are quite good, particularly at the higher ISO settings for an APS-C camera. The LCD screen got really high marks by the professional reviewers.

The focusing in live-view and video shooting modes received the most attention as this is a significant improvement in performance for a DSLR in this price range.DPReview gave a Gold award to the 70D and Gold awards don"t come often.

The pro 24-105mm f/4.0 "L" lens gave me plenty of reach on the 70D APS-C body to capture two of my favorite people riding the ski lift to the summit of Attitash mountain.

The EOS 70D was released late in 2013 so you"re a good time to get a bargain on yours , no matter where you shop for it. It"s old enough that newer models drive it"s price down.

I use my Canon EOS 70D to shoot portraits and landscapes on a professional level. The 70D is labeled as a consumer level camera, but that"s because the "pro" cameras are so advanced.

The Canon 8469B002 EOS 70D 20.2MP Digital Camera Body Only (lens sold separately) features an APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5+ image processor to ensure high-resolution images and excellent low-light sensitivity. Both the sensor and processor work together to produce well-detailed, clear imagery that exhibits natural tonality and color gradations with minimal noise when working in difficult lighting conditions. The processor also provides notable speed throughout the camera system, including the ability to record up to 7 fps in full-resolution, quickened AF speeds, and full HD 1080p video recording. The 3.0-inch Clear View II touchscreen LCD monitor profits greatly from the advent Dual Pixel CMOS AF system and its ability to utilize Touch AF focusing for finely controlled selection of the point of focus. The monitor"s vari-angle design also enables more efficient shooting and viewing from both high and low angles and an anti-reflective, smudge-resistant coating allows for clear well-detailed viewing. In addition, the camera is compatible with Canon STM lenses for smooth, quiet AF performance.

The EOS 70D features Canon’s all-new Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a revolutionary leap forward in speed and accuracy that unlocks the potential of Live View shooting. This game-changing technology will forever change what is possible with a DSLR camera.

The benefits of the groundbreaking Dual Pixel CMOS AF are clearly evident 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. And, combined with the predictive power of Movie Servo AF, subjects in motion are smoothly and consistently tracked – once the EOS 70D locks focus, it doesn’t let go. Plus, with the shallow depth-of-field afforded by EOS optics, your video gains a cinematic ambience.

For stills, Dual Pixel CMOS AF makes Live View AF precise and faster than ever, freeing the photographer to take advantage of the freedom of angle afforded by the camera’s Vari-angle LCD monitor. Whether capturing images of athletes on the field or kids in the park – with a tripod or handheld and operated from a number of angles and positions – crisp focus can be obtained nearly instantly across a wide shooting area, especially useful for those spontaneous or fleeting shots. 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.

103◊Canon EF lenses are able to fully realize the benefits of Dual Pixel CMOS AF. Compatible lenses greatly expand creative and compositional possibilities so users can enjoy a wide range of endeavors made possible through various lenses whether shooting still images or video.◊As of July 2, 2013.Click here for a larger image

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.

The new EOS 70D incorporates 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**. Using a smartphone with the EOS Remote app** installed, you can shoot remotely from a distance, even in Live View mode, for those difficult-to-capture shots; 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 means easy sharing between the EOS 70D and other DLNA products, like HDTVs, smartphones and more. Still images can even be transferred between two wireless-enabled Canon cameras over a Local Area Network (LAN). Images and video can be uploaded instantly to CANON iMAGE GATEWAY#for easy sharing on social networking sites, and photos can even be printed on a wireless PictBridge certified printer without the need for a PC.

It offers both All-I (UHS-I memory card is required) and IPB compression, supports H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording without interruption. It offers the option of time coding during recording only (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run), which is useful for multi-camera shoots. It also features improved sound recording adjustment capabilities; the EOS 70D has an internal stereo microphone for enhanced audio capture and a wind filter feature to reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors. Sound recording levels can be manually (up to 64 different levels) or automatically controlled, while a built-in attenuator is also provided to reduce audio clipping. For more advanced audio recording, the EOS 70D is compatible with many third-party electret condenser microphones with a 3.5mm diameter plug. The EOS 70D also boasts the advanced Movie Digital Zoom, allowing you to magnify the center of the image by approximately 3x–10x when Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution is set.

The EOS 70D features Movie Servo AF for continuous autofocus tracking of moving subjects while recording video. Combined with the camera’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system, even fast subjects remain crisply in focus. Autofocus is smooth and continuous, and quiet when recording video using one of Canon’s STM lenses. The revolutionary performance of Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF System, the predictive power of Movie Servo AF, and the pleasing depth-of-field provided by the EOS 70D’s optics make it possible to accomplish stunning, cinematic video capture, easily.Movie Recording SizeTotal Recording Time

With the Video Snapshot feature, the EOS 70D can capture short video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) then combine them automatically into one video file as a snapshot or highlights "album." With no editing needed after shooting, the compiled video is perfect for sharing online or displaying directly on an HDTV via the camera’s HDMI port. Additionally, stills can be recorded during video shooting simply by pressing the camera’s shutter button. During playback, video clips in an album can be reordered or deleted.

The EOS 70D comes with a Vari-angle Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II for shooting videos and stills at a variety of angles, high or low, with up to 180° of rotation. Using capacitive technology similar to today’s popular mobile devices, this screen is touch-sensitive and delivers intuitive touch panel operation. Two-finger touch gestures can be used for zooming or changing images. Menu and quick control settings can be accessed, and focus point and shutter release can be activated with the touch of a fingertip using Touch AF. Displaying fine detail (at approximately 1.04 million dots), this screen is perfect for composing and reviewing images. Thanks to a solid construction between the monitor’s resin-coated cover and the liquid crystal display, reflections are minimized, and the display can be viewed, without glare, from any number of angles. The LCD’s surface is treated with a smudge-resistant coating to minimize fingerprints and maintain a bright, clear image display.

The EOS 70D 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. With cross-type AF points placed throughout a wide area, the EOS 70D’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 delivers 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.

The EOS 70D camera’s Intelligent Viewfinder offers a sharp, bright, approximately 98% field of view with an approximate magnification of 0.95x, a viewing angle of 27.9° and a 22mm eyepoint. Featuring a new coating that reduces reflections and new construction that improves response in cold environments, the EOS 70D’s Intelligent Viewfinder makes it simple to adjust and confirm settings without the risk of missing a beat. The Intelligent Viewfinder uses a transparent LCD to superimpose a customizable combination of focus points and gridlines directly over the image: it displays AF mode, AF points, electronic level, grid, alerts informing when white balance is being corrected and when Spot metering is enabled, and much more. With the EOS 70D’s Intelligent Viewfinder, unlike with other cameras, the photographer has the choice of seeing shooting information or looking only at the scene in front of the camera. The ability to effectively erase all shooting data and turn it back on with the touch of a button gives the photographer the opportunity to concentrate simply on looking and composing the photograph without distraction, a great advantage in numerous shooting situations.

With its High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode, the EOS 70D can merge three images of varying exposure in-camera and save them as one final image, capturing a broad range of shadow and highlight detail with stunning tonal range. Adjustable to cover a range of ±3 stops, HDR recording truly expands the parameters of the light and dark detail a camera can actually record, surprising viewers with the range of tones a photograph can accurately recreate.

The EOS 70D offers 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 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.

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.

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 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 be applied to the image after shooting, it"s easy to try several effects on the same shot during post-process.

The EOS 70D features Scene Intelligent Auto mode, which incorporates a number of Canon technologies to deliver the best possible exposure. Joining Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure, Scene Intelligent Auto mode analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast, even whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod, and then chooses the exposure and enhancements that bring out the best in any scene or situation.

The EOS 70D is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses and including the STM series optimized for video shooting. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver beautiful results. Special technologies like Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer help to minimize the effect of camera shake, effectively adding up to four stops of light; STM lenses even feature a stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous autofocus while capturing video. With an array of lenses perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS 70D camera.

To enhance its already admirable high ISO shooting capabilities, the EOS 70D 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.

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.

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.

With the optional GPS Receiver GP-E2 attached to the hot shoe or the digital terminal, the EOS 70D can record location, including latitude, longitude and altitude, and has the ability to track the trajectory of movement with its logging function, perfect for photographers on the go. An electric compass records the camera’s orientation during each shot, and world time information is recorded through GPS syncing.

To help organize images recorded to the camera’s storage, the EOS 70D makes it simple to rate individual images from one star to five. Therefore, image browsing, printing and slide shows can be based upon those ratings.

The EOS 70D uses popular SD, SDHC, SDXC, and is even compatible with Ultra High Speed (UHS-I), memory cards. Compact and available in large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the camera’s compact design.

The Canon EOS 70D is a digital single-lens reflex camera by Canon publicly announced on July 2, 2013 with a suggested retail price of $1,199.Canon EOS two-digit line, it is the successor to the EOS 60D and is the predecessor of the EOS 80D.

The EOS 70D is the launch platform for Canon"s Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, which provides great improvement in focusing speed while in Live View, both for stills and video.

The 70D can be purchased as a body alone, or in a package with an EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM lens, EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens, and/or EF-S 18–200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens.

DSLR cameras like the Canon EOS or the Canon EOS Rebel are good for taking photos in all kinds of environments. Sometimes your Canon can malfunction and you"ll need to find a way to repair it with new parts or by cleaning it.

No camera is invincible. If you"re having problems with your Canon camera, check out these common issues.Sometimes the camera has a hard time turning on. There might be issues with the battery or the battery compartment door isn"t fully closed.

If your camera is not fully retracting the lens, you might need to close the battery cover. You should also check that there isn"t any debris in your lens housing.

There might be issues with your LCD Canon screen. Most digital DSLR cameras from Canon have LCD display so you can view your photos. If your screen is flickering, you might be too close to a fluorescent light.

If the photo you took looks different than the one you view on the LCD screen, check to see if your screen is set to only display a portion of your photo.

There are common issues that can be solved for your Canon EOS Rebel.The easiest way to fix your Canon is to prevent damage by taking care of it properly.

If you"re having problems with your Canon EOS taking grainy photos, clean your lens. If it"s showing digital corruption, there might be something wrong with the digital image sensor. You"ll need to take it to a professional to repair it.

In this way, an EVF is especially useful for relatively inexperienced photographers, because it enables you to see the effects of camera settings at the shooting stage, not just assess them afterwards. For many, it makes photography more intuitive.

Another advantage of an EVF is that it can compensate for low light levels, which means you always have a clear view of the subject. Conversely, with an optical viewfinder you"re seeing the scene with the ambient light level, which means that in dark conditions it can be difficult to compose a shot or to focus.

In addition, when you"re using an EVF you"re actually looking at a small screen, and even though this has a very high refresh rate, an OVF can be more comfortable over a long period of usage. This means that if you"re shooting wildlife or sports where you have to keep your eye to the viewfinder for a very long time waiting for the action to happen, an OVF could be preferable.
