LET THE canon 77d BE your guide

-

Beginner-friendly cameras are always popular with first-time DSLR users, and the EOS 77D goes the extra mile with its Guided mode. This graphical interface is also found on the cheaper EOS 800D, but the difference is that while it’s the default control system on the 800D, on the 77D you need to activate it, if required, from the menus. It’s the most helpful settings guide we’ve seen yet, with interactiv­e sliders and icons that explain the effect that different settings will have on your pictures. For example, in Aperture Priority (Av) mode, the screen displays a slider for the aperture setting and visual representa­tions of the depth of field at the opposite ends of the aperture range. Below this are other settings, including focus point, shooting mode and EV compensati­on, which you might want to change as well. In Shutter Priority (Tv) mode, the screen shows the effect of different shutter speeds. Owners of the EOS 77D might not need this level of simplicity, but it could be useful to have it there if you need to share the camera with another family member, for example.
