  Take 10 shots in a row/second to capture every wonderful moment

Yes 7D The focusing performance of the Mark II. Let's look at the continuous shooting performance of the EOS 7D Mark II. We were deeply impressed by the 8 shots per second of the previous 7D, and the new 7D Mark II's continuous shooting ability has gone further, with a continuous shooting speed of 10 shots per second. What is the concept of 10 pictures per second? Let's use GIF to simply show it:

Here we press 10 consecutive photos into a GIF of 1s action time length, so we can see the continuous shooting effect of 7D Mark II. It can be seen that we can get a very coherent set of photos within one second, which is very helpful for sports and high-speed photography. Of course, in addition to the continuous shooting speed, the other important things for high-speed machines are camera 's continuous shooting performance, let's take a look Canon EOS 7D Mark II's continuous shooting performance:

Memory card writing speed: 85MB/s

In RAW+JPEG mode, we have taken about 22 pictures in a row without losing speed, and the writing shares about 3.1s. In the case of single RAW format shooting, the camera has taken about 30 pictures in a row without losing speed. In JPEG mode, the camera can shoot without losing speed. As long as your memory card is large enough, the camera can maintain a continuous shooting speed of 10 pictures per second until the card is full. The continuous shooting and endurance of EOS 7D Mark II is very good, which is very satisfactory. This is undoubtedly a great help for news and sports photography. Note: High speed continuous shooting has a lot to do with memory card performance. Due to different card speeds, their continuous shooting performance will be different. If you want a good continuous shooting, the author recommends using a high-speed card

In general, Canon The EOS 7D Mark II's continuous shooting speed of 10 shots per second is quite satisfactory, and such continuous shooting speed is only 1DX and D4S The same speed level. In the APS-C SLR, it is the first time to achieve such continuous shooting speed. In this regard, it is no exaggeration to say that the 7D Mark II is a mini 1DX. In addition to the excellent continuous shooting endurance of the camera, the continuous shooting performance of the EOS 7D Mark II has definitely reached the top level of SLR cameras.

  ·Continuous shooting&focusing test: JPEG infinite continuous shooting&focusing is relatively professional

The optical viewfinder of Canon EOS 7D Mark II is one of its highlights. It is not only equipped with a two-way level. When the photographer adjusts parameters such as exposure, metering, focusing, shutter release, and ISO, he can view the parameters without leaving the viewfinder. Now let's explore in the video:


Parameter setting viewfinder effect

This product is equipped with 65 full cross phase difference detection auto focusing systems, and the central focus also has the F2.8 aperture precision double cross focusing function. Canon EOS 7D Mark II has a high level of configuration in terms of both the number of focus points and the number of cross focus points. Now let's test the focusing speed of this product under the phase difference focusing test.


Phase difference focusing speed test

From the video, after manually turning the focusing ring to the nearest focusing distance and then half pressing the shutter, the focusing speed of the central focus is excellent, and there is no case of pulling the bellows.


Real time viewfinder focusing speed test

Canon EOS 7D Mark II is equipped with a full pixel dual core CMOS focusing system that first appeared from the mid-range APS-C frame digital SLR camera EOS 70D. When using real-time view shooting, we found that the focusing speed is also relatively excellent when matched with EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM lens with STM stepping motor, and the phenomenon of bellows, which is common in traditional contrast auto focusing, is rarely seen.

Another advantage of the full pixel dual core CMOS focusing system equipped with this product is that it realizes continuous focusing during video shooting. In actual shooting, we found that the continuous video focusing of Canon EOS 7D Mark II requires the realization of focusing when the motion speed of the subject moving object relative to the camera is low. If the subject moves faster relative to the fuselage, defocus may occur.

·Continuous shooting test: JPEG infinite continuous shooting

The maximum continuous shooting speed of Canon EOS 7D Mark II has reached 10 pictures/second, which is currently the highest level of continuous shooting speed of APS-C frame digital SLR camera. Next, we will use a CF memory card with a writing speed of 90MB/s to record the video of RAW+JPEG and high-speed continuous shooting effect of only JPEG photos.

When we use the CF memory card with the writing speed of 90MB/s in our hand and save it in RAW+JPEG mode, the high-speed continuous shooting speed drops significantly from the third second. However, when shooting only in JPEG mode, the continuous shooting speed of Canon EOS 7D Mark II can be kept at a high level, without the continuous shooting speed declining or getting stuck.

  ·Interval shooting&continuous shooting effect test: get rid of the shackles of remote control

As we mentioned earlier, Canon EOS 7D Mark II is equipped with interval shooting functions that can set shooting interval time and times for the first time, so you don't need to purchase a remote control with these functions for shooting. We used the interval shooting function in the daytime with sufficient light and in the nighttime with weak light, and later synthesized video to test the effect of interval shooting.

The maximum continuous shooting speed of Canon EOS 7D Mark II fuselage is 10 pictures/second, which exceeds the 8.3 pictures/second of Pentax K-3 and is at the highest level of APS-C frame digital SLR camera. In the actual shooting, we found that if we shoot JPEG pictures, we can achieve uninterrupted continuous shooting with a memory card with fast writing speed, and the precision performance of continuous shooting has also reached a high level.
