Packed with sophisticated features like higher-end models and yet easy to use, the EOS 850D is a reasonably-priced DSLR that delivers the quality you need. Perfect for those serious on picking up photography, this is the simple and affordable choice as your stepping stone towards mastery in photography.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
When shooting in Live View, Dual Pixel CMOS AF makes autofocusing faster and more accurate so your shots are sharp and in focus. You also get up to 3,975 selectable AF positions across your frame for more flexibility in composing your shots.
Eye and Face Detection
Say cheese! Capture every emotion in razor-sharp quality with Eye Detection AF that focuses and tracks the eye of your subject in Live View mode.
EOS iTR AF (face detection) also ensures clear portrait shots by tracking the face of your moving subject in viewfinder shooting.
When shooting through the optical viewfinder, the all cross-type 45-point AF* sensor makes precise focusing on moving subjects quick and easy.
There is also no time lag between the actual subject’s movement and the viewfinder’s display, so you do not lose track of your moving subject.
*The number of AF points varies depending on the lens attached, and the aspect ratio setting.
Sometimes, photo-worthy moments happen in the blink of an eye. Don’t miss the action unfolding before you with continuous shooting at speeds up to 7.5 frames per second in Live View One-shot AF, or up to 7 frames per second in viewfinder mode.
Record your videos in stunning 4K UHD resolution (23.98p/25p) or record in Full HD (60p). A HDMI terminal lets you output your video to a television or external display so you can watch your videos conveniently with family and friends.
Show off your skills in the dark with awide ISO range of 100 – 25,600* (expandable to 51,200) to deliver sharper images with less noiseat higher shutter speeds even when handheld.
*Up to ISO 12800 for full HD movies and ISO 6400 for 4K movies
Share and backup your photos and videos anytime on the go with the EOS 850D’s built-in Wi-Fi connectivity.
With Canon Camera Connect app (iOS and Android) installed on your smartphone or smart device, you can wirelessly connect your camera to conveniently perform remote tasks such as:
Pair your camera and smart device via Bluetooth low energy technology to maintain a constant connection between your camera and smart device.
You can also pair your camera with a wireless remote control such as the BR-E1 or your smartphone to perform remote shooting, for instance, when you want to take a group photo while your camera is mounted on a tripod.
View, adjust your focal point and shoot your photos with the touchscreen Vari-angle LCD. With a Vari-angle LCD, you can now shoot from a variety of camera angles, including ground-skimming low angles.
For maximum comfort, buttons and dials on the EOS 850D are positioned for easy and convenient shooting. The customisable Quick control dial allows for fast adjustment of your shooting settings and quick browsing of photos in playback mode.
A favourite amongst professional photographers, the AF-ON button has been added to let you enjoy more convenience in recomposing your shots.
When set to Scene Intelligent Auto mode, your camera will analyse the scene and adjust to optimum setting automatically. It also adjusts focus automatically by detecting whether the subject is still or moving.
