dual Pixels deliver!
dual Pixel autofocus technology makes a big difference to the EOS 77D’s Live View performance. It’s Canon’s most advanced sensor design and effectively splits each photosite in two. These two halves can then be used to provide much faster phase detection autofocus than the contrast autofocus traditionally used by DSLRS in Live View. The older EOS 760D also offered phase detection autofocus in Live View mode, but via Canon’s less advanced Hybrid CMOS AF III technology. Thanks to Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the EOS 77D is almost as fast in Live View mode as it is in regular viewfinder photography.
