![]() Depending on your shooting scenario, each of the modes can prove useful. ![]() When shooting through the viewfinder, there are four focus area modes including Single-point, Zone, Large Zone and 45-point Auto Selection. The AF Area Selector button, located between the shutter release and control dial, is an effective way to quickly switch between the four AF area modes. Instead, there is a section within the Custom Function menu dedicated to AF adjustments. The 7D II also has more AF points (65), and offers a substantially easier method of manually moving AF points (via a dedicated joystick). Unlike the 7D II, Canon doesn't brand the 80D's focus tracking as 'iTR' (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition), which could reflect the use of a different algorithm as well as the lower resolution of the metering/recognition sensor. But it is clear, both from the camera's specifications and from field use, that the 80D's AF system is not as advanced as that of the higher-priced EOS 7D Mark II. When it comes to through the viewfinder AF performance, the 80D is without question better than its predecessor, which only offered 19 all cross-type points and used a 63-zone dual layer sensor for tracking. This metering sensor, while not as advanced as the 150,000-pixel RGB metering sensor found in the 7D Mark II, gives the 80D better subject awareness than its predecessor. In 45-point auto select mode the EOS 80D uses a new 7560 pixel RGB+IR metering sensor to assist the autofocus system in tracking subjects. ![]() A simplified look at the Canon 80D's 45-point AF system.Īs well as its dual Pixel AF imaging sensor, the 80D also gets its conventional phase-detection AF system updated to a system with 45 cross-type AF points when you're shooting through the viewfinder.
