Focusing System
Introduction
Central 8 to double cross, all 19 points cross-type AF system enables detection of complex Pishe Ti EOS 7D equipped with a 19 automatic focus, its used in all cross-type sensors. The so-called cross-type sensor is the will of the vertical lines and horizontal lines tested showed cross-type sensors arranged. This is a less suffer an Beishe Ti shape and texture affect the resulting failure of co-focus system. Since these are used for the focus of the corresponding F5.6 beam sensor, therefore, can not install the camera with the lens aperture size on the impact of all the EF lens focal
performance are to be combined into full play. In addition, the central upper, middle and lower three horizontal lines detection sensor showed two staggered by a double test to reduce testing errors. Substantially de-coke (large nominal) state, was arranged in two staggered AF sensors together to improve the detection rate of Pi Sheti. Moreover, the use of a higher frequency of central focus, in addition to the corresponding F5.6 was cross beam sensor arrangement, the configuration is still in its diagonal direction of the corresponding F2.8 beam cross-type sensors, which constitute the central 8 to the double cross AF sensors, capable of more precise focus. F2.8 large amplitude beam ratio F5.6 beam to detect the use of the baseline length is longer, with the ability to detect subtle errors combined ability to focus. EOS 7D equipped with a light color to be able to detect 63 district metering double-sensor autofocus system with photometric detection sensor data caused by different light sources combined focus error compensation. High-performance auto-focusing system can fully play up to about 18 million effective pixel strength, allowing users to shoot even more confidence. To be able to play a stable performance of autofocus, auto-focus optical system is also a corresponding increase in accuracy, but also adopted a strong ability to adapt to harsh environment, the construction and materials.
Using 19 AF points focus on the five kinds of automatic selection mode
EOS 7D equipped with a central 8 to the double cross, all 19 points cross-type AF sensors, to enable the effective use of this auto-focus, Canon provides the user with five kinds of automatic focus selection mode. Manual selection mode, in addition to include a “single point of focus”, but also has a focus range than single-point AF Focus range of smaller “fixed-point auto-focus,” and when Pi Sheti automatically from the selected focus, the selected focus point around the upper and lower pairs of secondary focus will automatically focus the “automatic extension of the focus” and a
wealth of auto-focus area selection mode. In addition, the “area AF” will be 19 pairs were divided into five focus areas, from which you can select the focus area, focus will be to use the selected AF area focus on the Pi Sheti all right to detection. Priority so that composition, while Pi Sheti can accurately capture. In addition, the “19-point AF” also be able to use the central 8 to the double cross, all 19 points cross-type AF sensors of the Pi Sheti capture, increased its capacity to respond to irregular movement Pishe Ti.
Have evolved, the ability to capture more of the AI Servo AF Able to track moving objects in AI Servo AF has been a substantial evolution. Be able to correspond through a variety of sports and shooting scenes of new AI Servo AF algorithm to achieve high-precision focus on moving objects. Not only the distance between the targeted and Pishe Ti, but also be able to select “19-point AF” or “regional auto-focus”, the right frame (auto-focus area, the use of area AF for the selection of within the region) vertical and horizontal direction parallel to track the movement of Pi Sheti and can be carried out continuously on the Pi Sheti capture. In addition, the ability to set AI Servo AF automatically starts when the focal point, thereby reducing filming the first one, the co-focus position deviation probability. In the “19-point autofocus” mode, when Pi Sheti’s movement did not automatically selected from the initial focus, other auto-focus will be on the track it automatically. At the same time,
the current track of the Pi Sheti automatic right focus will be displayed in the viewfinder, the significantly increased peace of mind when shooting a sense of dynamic objects.
To more carefully reflect the intention of the photographer AF area selection mode
With the auto focus system, multiple functions, the various settings are also projects a more detailed evolution. Can be horizontal or vertical grip for the camera were set AF area selection mode and the use of auto-focus (regional) position. To use this feature, even if holding machine to change direction, without having to re-set the auto-focus area, with changing the direction of holding machine immediately after the
filming of Pashe Ti and many other advantages. Held in the vertical plane, can differ from those used according to the user (or a handle in the next), were set. In addition, you can also customize the control buttons, respectively, of the four kinds of auto-focus-related functions (select AF area selection mode, AI Servo tracking sensitivity, AI Servo 1 / 2 images priority, AI Servo Focus Tracking mode) to register. After registration, you can also push-button operation (depth of field preview button or the lens AF stop button) when shooting a button quickly to set a good tone out these functions. EOS 7D like this can have a demand in the interim to change when necessary to set autofocus features, making it ideal for sports such as changes in intense sports photography.Moreover, EOS 7D also features the “auto-focus fine-tuning,” “can not be auto-focus lenses when driving,” and many other AF-related with custom features, can be more delicate reflect the photographer’s intentions.
Dual DIGIC 4, long shutter life Dual DIGIC 4 to about 18 million effective pixel image data processing diagram of an effective plan of about 18 million yuan of the image sensor through the eight channels can quickly send a large image data, using two high-speed analog signal can be converted to digital signals of new development of four-channel analog-digital conversion front-end processing module. Through a combination of dual DIGIC 4 achieved EOS 7D, high-speed parallel processing. Its overwhelming high-speed processing capability, bringing about 18 million effective pixel, the maximum of about 8 / s high-speed continuous shooting speed. High-speed processing circuit design makes the EOS 7D even after 14-bit analog-digital conversion processing, the burst speed does not change, while achieving high quality and high reactivity, which is a major feature of it. Canon color style, which introduces its own development of “photo-style.” Be able to shoot scenes and themes according to the different selection, camera pre-loaded with six kinds of photo styles for users to choose and can be set up through detailed pictures of each style, sharpness and color and so on set. Not only that, but also can be attached to “Picture Style Editor” software production, register your own Picture Style can appreciate the performance of a variety of colors. Images within the camera compensate for the “automatic brightness optimization” feature has been enhanced, regardless of whether the screen to detect facial figure, the effect is more in place, and can inhibit the high light of high-light spillover “high-light tone priority” and able to prevent caused by different lens characteristics of the screen to reduce the amount of light surrounding the phenomenon of “peripheral light quantity correction” and other features are also
due to the adoption of dual DIGIC 4 to achieve a high-speed processing.
The more you use the more fascinating, with a maximum of about 8 / s, 15 million times the life of the shutter unit EOS 7D uses a newly developed non-contact electromagnetic rotary speed electronically controlled mechanical focal plane shutter, and its basic structure inherited the EOS 5D Mark II has been successfully applied on the shutter unit. And use with the EOS-1D series of the same material, reaching about 15 million times a shutter life. Non-contact rotary solenoid shutter unit has no physical contact with the unique surface structure, with a less there because of dust, oil and were attached to, or wear down causing malfunction and accuracy advantages. EOS 7D also has a mirror brake bodies, can guarantee high-speed continuous shooting, the AI Servo AF movements and the stability of the image within the viewfinder. Suspended motor enables quiet of shooting. EOS 7D carrying out a variety of advanced control of the shutter unit also very particular about the sound moves through the material of the shutter unit repeated studies, and a new brake master mirror the adoption of such agencies to achieve the right tone mirror drive when the motion control, has finally been able to inspire enthusiasm for shooting a “neat, crisp texture with a metal shutter sound.” Not only in function, the use of a sense of elegant, high-endurance shutter unit is really more you use the more
fascinating.
The newly developed approximately 18 million effective pixel image sensor to achieve a high pixel low-noise point Canon EOS 7D carrying about 18 million self-developed and effective pixel APS-C size CMOS image sensors. 8-channel high-speed data acquisition, support for up to about 8 / s high-speed continuous shooting. Image sensor size is 22.3 × 14.9 mm, shooting angle is equivalent to about 1.6 times lens focal length. With the development of CMOS semiconductor wafer process, more sophisticated manufacturing process of import, to achieve a high ISO sensitivity, low noise, high dynamic range. In addition, using a higher photoelectric conversion efficiency of a new photodiode structure, and through improved pixel transistors within the improved signal to noise ratio. Not only that, through the import of new technologies, shortening the “no-gap micro-lens” to “photodiode” the distance between the photodiode improves the efficiency of the condenser. Common ISO sensitivity range up to a 100-6400 (Extension when ISO 12800). In the most outer layer optical low-pass filter is applied to the anti-adhesion ability of the fluorine coating. In addition, on the basis EOS 7D to optimize the “self-cleaning sensor unit” to achieve an all-round dust measures.
Viewfinder and the electronic level EOS 7D using the optical viewfinder EOS-1D series has the same rate of approximately 100% field of vision. In this way, through the viewfinder of the scope of observation to the range of the actual shooting basically the same, be able to shoot more accurate composition. In addition, EOS 7D also achieved one times (-1m-1, using the 50mm lens for infinity focus) in the viewfinder magnification, it is equally important and vision rates, indicating the performance of the other elements of the viewfinder. Observed when using the viewfinder, can be directly observed with the naked eye when the size of the same image, you can Pishe Ti confirm the details of each part. 29.4 ° viewing angle with the typical APS-C size cameras, compared to a very broad and easy to watch. These are used in relying on its professional users with the EOS-oriented top-level model – EOS-1D Mark III
equivalent size of a large pentaprism achieve. Eyepiece optical components using
a high-refraction glass, reduces the chromatic aberration production. In addition, the five-prism light injection and the injection plane using anti-reflective coating. Improved light transmittance, has been a bright viewfinder. The internal information viewfinder display back and thoroughly equipped with a new LCD panel constitutes a “smart information display optical viewfinder.” Apart from showing the 19 AF points, the grid can display on demand, spot metering circle, three-dimensional electronic level and so on.
To the corresponding standards and the direction of tilt before and after the three-dimensional electronic level EOS 7D is the first EOS digital SLR camera equipped with a camera that can detect the standard and tilt before and after the “Three-dimensional electronic level” camera. Inside the camera perpendicular to the direction of optical axis configured two cameras were used to detect the level of tilt and acceleration before and after the tilt sensors. With minimum 1 ° as a unit, tilted in various directions for testing. Three-dimensional electronic level there are two kinds of display in the use of optical viewfinder for shooting to make use of automatic focus on the level of the direction of ± 6 °, front and rear direction of ± 4 ° tilt to display (camera horizontal shooting). Can also use the back of LCD monitors to display (real-time display photography, video shooting and shooting readiness pm). This displays a graphical water level, can the standard of the direction of 360 °, front and rear direction of ± 10 ° of tilt testing. With the normal function of the different electronic levels, which can tilt the direction of the camera before and after testing, with the screen even when there are no lines as a reference point, it is very easy to support the deformation of buildings and other adjustments to benefits.
To stabilize the double exposure of 63 area metering sensor EOS 7D equipped with a 19 to take advantage of automatic focus-focus information, double-layer structure Metering Sensor – 63 area metering sensor layer. In addition to carry out the same as the previous evaluation of photometric sensors, metering, partial metering, spot metering (central point), the central focus of the average metering, to gain a more accurate exposure, the metering sensor also has the detection of RGB three primary colors R and B wavelength wavelength of color measurement features, and according to available information correctly to improve the red Pishe Ti prone to the phenomenon of lack of exposure. In addition, the 19 AF points correspond to a corresponding metering area, so you can refer to each of the focus in the brightness distribution and other means to lose focus and then calculate the amount of exposure value. Even in bright scenes are great differences, also get a smaller deviation of the stability of the information. Because the amount of exposure compensation extended to ± 5EV, so in a variety of auto-exposure modes are more handy.
