ISO
The EOS 800D allows you to set a maximum ISO limit to avoid excessive noise in your images.
Aperture
You can quickly change the aperture while looking through the viewfinder by using the front command dial.
Use the Canon EOS 800D's Vari-angle touchscreen to compose shots from creative angles. This is especially helpful for low-angle or overhead shots where looking through the viewfinder is awkward.
The Canon EOS 800D features a dedicated Quick Control Dial on the back, allowing you to swiftly adjust settings like aperture and shutter speed without diving into menus. This speeds up your manual shooting process significantly.
Activate the Canon EOS 800D's Live View mode to use the touchscreen for setting focus points directly. This is particularly useful for precise focusing in portraits or when shooting with shallow depth of field.
Customize the Canon EOS 800D's My Menu to have quick access to your most-used settings. This can streamline your workflow and ensure you spend more time shooting and less time navigating menus.
The Canon EOS 800D's optical viewfinder provides a real-time view of your scene, which is especially useful in bright outdoor conditions where the screen might be hard to see.
