High-performance cross-type tracking for all 65 points 

Capture subjects with 65 AF points spread out in a wide configuration in the frame

This is the EOS 7D Mark II 65 cross-type 
point  diagram.  The  single  point  at  the 
center is an f/2.8 cross-type point and f/5.6 
cross-type point (Dual cross-type) and all 
other 64 points are f/5.6 cross-type points. 
These points make high-precision focusing 
possible without missing the subject.

A new AF system with 65 all cross-type 
AF points

The EOS 7D Mark II is equipped 
with a newly-developed AF sensor 
that features 65 AF points. All are 
cross-type points and the center 5 
points are arrayed in a staggered 
pattern, further improving tracking 
performance.

Newly-developed 65-point AF 
sensor

The EOS 7D Mark II is equipped with a new 
65-point AF system that goes beyond the 61 AF 
points on the top of the line EOS-1D X. Because 
these points are arrayed in a wide area on the 
screen, you can focus on any point you want 
nearly up to the edges of the screen. One other 
feature of this new 65-point AF system is that 
all of the points use the Cross Sensor with high-
performance tracking abilities. Cross-type 
points, which are not easily confused by subject 
patterns make it possible to accurately track 
subjects. Additionally, the single point at the 

center is an f/2.8 and f/5.6 Dual Cross-type 
point which enables high-precision focusing 
when using a bright lens with a maximum 
aperture value up to f/2.8. When using an 
extender, AF is possible using the single center 
point, even on a lens with a total maximum 
aperture of f/8. The cross points and point 
patterns (cross points/number of points on line) 
available for cross-type points differ depending 
on the type of lens being used. Check the 
groups in A to G on p. 33 to 35 to find your 
lens.
