77 reasons To upgrade...

43 don’t delete shots!

Lock individual pictures so they can’t be deleted from the memory card – useful if culling pictures in-camera.

44 Make your own Menu

You know which settings you change most, so bring them together in My Menu. It can be real time-saver.

45 who needs Adobe?

You can use Canon’s own Digital Photo Professional 4 software to process your Raw files, and it’s free!

46 Mic Me up

You can make a massive difference to your video sound quality by plugging in an external microphone.

47 where did you shoot?

Your phone knows where you took each picture, and with the add-on GP-E2 GPS adaptor, so will your 77D.

48 Manual control

In Manual mode the top dial controls the shutter speed, while the rear dial controls the lens aperture.

49 remote controller

Announced at the same time as the 77D, the BR-E1 remote needs no line of sight and works 5m away.

50 optical space-saver

The 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM isn’t just smoother and faster than the old 1855mm lens, it’s smaller too.

51 perfect portraits

Set a long focal length and wide aperture, move your model from the background and focus on the eyes.

52 Mirror lockup

For best sharpness, mount the 77D on a tripod and use its Mirror Lockup mode to reduce vibration.

53 A nice touch

Fine-tune the touchscreen’s responsiveness – or disable it altogether – in the Touch Control menu.

54 Quiet now

Turn off the sound to shoot in quiet environments – you can find the Beep settings in the Settings menu.

55 show pictures on tv

The camera’s screen is a bit small for showcasing photos, so why not hook it up to your TV set via HDMI?

56 selfies Made simple

We all love a selfie. It’s easy with the 77D because you can simply flip the screen around to face the front.

57 lock your settings

Use the Lock lever on the back to prevent accidental adjustments with the dials or the touch-screen.

58 light up the lcd

Shooting in the dark? Press a button for a few seconds of LCD backlighting so that you can see your settings.

59 interface choice

The 77D displays a regular interface by default, but you can swap to the Guided interface seen on the 800D.

60 Quick control screen

You can view and change most settings easily with the Q screen, either with the dials or touch control.

61 Grid display

Can’t get your verticals vertical? The 77D can display a helpful grid in its viewfinder.

62 set your Ambience

The Ambience options are designed to preserve a mood, and include Vivid, Soft, Warm and Intense.

63 fly-by-wire focus

Found on some STM lenses, manual focus is controlled electronically – and you can override autofocus mode.

64 self-timer sequences

Make sure of a great group shot! You aren’t limited to one shot with the self-timer, you can shoot up to 10.
