3 Cool Features of the EOS 77D

Announced in February 2017, the EOS 77D is a DSLR camera that caters to photography enthusiasts. It is the latest model to be equipped with the DIGIC 7 image processor as well as a whole host of other features. Join me as I introduce 3 appealing features of the EOS 77D. (Reported by: Ryosuke Takahashi)

 

#1: Comfortable dial operations even as you look through the viewfinder

While the important dials and buttons might differ slightly in shape, they play the same role as those on mid-range DSLR models. Operating the dials and buttons of the camera even as you look through the optical viewfinder is a smooth process as the body is designed such that you do not have to look at the dials to operate them. In particular, you can assign other functions to the AF-ON button, which comes in handy during your shoots. The EOS 77D has clearly been designed to let users shoot confidently through the viewfinder.

You can operate the camera by rotating the Main Dial and Quick Control Dial while looking through the viewfinder.

 

You can also customize the AF-ON button by assigning other functions, such as enabling AF lock with a half-press of the shutter button when using the Special Scenes Mode.

 

#2: Continuous shooting speed of 6 fps lets you capture the best moment

The EOS 77D's high-speed continuous shooting capability has been improved to achieve up to 6 frames per second (fps), which enables you to capture a moving subject frozen in the moment. Simply press and hold down the shutter button to get the best shot.

EOS 77D/ EF-S18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM/ FL: 18mm (29mm equivalent)/ Manual exposure (f/4, 1/1,250 sec, EV±0)/ ISO 100/ WB: Auto

 

This shot was taken using continuous shooting at the moment when a roller coaster plunged into a pool of water. I decided that this was the best shot, given the amount of water spraying out of the fountain and the timing of the roller coaster making its plunge. In the shot immediately preceding this, the front of the roller coaster was right in the frame, so you can see that the interval between each shot is extremely small.

 

 

 

#3: DIGIC 7 realises high ISO speeds with minimal noise

With DIGIC 7, image processing capability has evolved to achieve normal ISO speeds of up to ISO 25600. The lack of colour noise is particularly noteworthy, and I could hardly notice any false colours. Advanced noise reduction also ensures that the details in subjects are not crushed. With the Multi Shot Noise Reduction function, graininess on the screen is further reduced.

 

ISO speeds of up to ISO 25600 can now be set.

 

ISO speeds of up to 25600 can be set in ISO Auto mode.
