sensor enables finely detailed depiction of
subjects. While increasing the pixel count,
the full-frame, large-format sensor delivers
rich color shades and low noise for the size
of each pixel and a high dynamic range due
to the latest sensor technology. Additionally,
the full-frame format makes it possible to
capture appealing photos with strong
background defocusing effects.

7. This model significantly expands Max. 11 focusing points on the EOS 6D to Max. 45
points, enabling effective use of Large Zone AF and focusing on surfaces.
 All focusing points are cross-type, for super subject
detection
 The use of a new 45-point focusing system makes it
possible to focus on subjects in a variety of locations
across the screen.
 Equipped with 5 modes: Single-point Spot AF,
Single-point, Large ZoneAF, Auto SelectAF
As all sensors are cross-type sensors, the camera rarely
'hesitates' when focusing on subjects. A multi-point AF system
makes it possible to truly focus on the composition and
effectively deal with moving subjects.

is truly useful for shooting fast-moving
sports, animals, and vehicles, as well
as for capturing split-second
expressions in portraits at weddings
and other celebrations.

 All pixels are equipped with imaging and phase-difference AF
functionality, allowing high-speed, high-precision AF for approximately
80% x 80% of the shooting screen area (vertical x horizontal).
 AF use image plane phase-difference AF only for fast and precise AF.
 The high performance of a -2.5EV low-intensity limit enables focusing in
dark areas
