not only offers 100 percent coverage 1x magnification a 29.4-degree angle of view and user-controlled dioptric adjustment it also features a newly-designed transparent lcd display which enables a number of viewfinder displays to be overlaid at the touch of a button . whereas with other cameras the representation of af points and metering areas are static with the eos 7d they can be displayed adjusted and hidden in camera with ease . this means less distraction and more clarity to view the image in its entirety . display options include grid spot metering af points display hide all zone af spot single-point af af point expansion and dual axis electronic level display . the eos 7d even features a brilliant new dual axis electronic level and tilt display that aids in achieving perfectly level shots displaying both roll and pitch in 1-degree increments either in the viewfinder or on the lcd new 19-point all cross-type af system equipped with dual diagonal cross-type sensors canon packed its most advanced technologies into the eos 7d s af system . with 19 high precision cross-type af sensors any of which can be selected automatically or manually the eos 7d is equipped to handle even the trickiest of focus situations with ease . the high-speed microcomputers in the eos 7d use advanced algorithms that help ensure the fastest most accurate af performance under the widest variety of conditions . in addition canon s light source detection af automatically compensates the focus by taking into account artificial lighting sources and making appropriate adjustments and the eos 7d s new intelligent macro focusing tracks the object or the cameras movement when shooting close-up to ensure focus is never lost . af modes can be customized to suit the situation ensuring reliable focus every time . ifcl metering with 63 zone dual-layer metering sensor the eos 7d features a new 63 zone dual-layer sensor designed to complement the 19-point af system . by taking into account the color and luminosity surrounding chosen af points this new system delivers an entirely new level of accuracy for better results even in difficult lighting situations . since the metering sensor has a color measurement function exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized the eos 7d gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes such as in a theater or concert hall . this makes the eos 7d ideal for scenes with extreme difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit scenes the camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background and exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot . magnesium body with shutter durability up to 150 000 cycles the eos 7d is constructed of the highest quality materials to exacting standards to ensure unfettered performance at all times . for example the shutter can shoot at speeds up to 1 8000 sec for 150 000 cycles the chassis is built of
