Dual Pixel CMOS AF – How it works

Dual Pixel CMOS AF is a sensor-based phase detection Auto Focus (AF) technology designed to provide smooth high-performance focus tracking and fast autofocus acquisition. It is a unique Canon-developed technology that uses two photo diodes per pixel for autofocus and combines them for recording video.

This allows accurate focus to be maintained even with moving subjects which is vital for 4K capture and makes single operator shooting more efficient.
