Can I Crop Images with the Camera? (EOS 70D)

Solution

It is not possible to use the camera to crop or perform angular adjustments on images saved to the camera.However, you can use the [Cropping] setting on the print setting screen to crop the image and print only an enlarged version of the cropped portion, as if the image had been recomposed.
REFERENCE
  • Set the cropping right before printing. If you change the print settings after setting the cropping, you may have to set the cropping again before printing.
  • While cropping the image, look at the cameras LCD monitor. If you look at the image on a TV screen, the cropping frame may not be displayed accurately.

2. Set up the printer.
For details, refer to the printers instruction manual.

. Changing the Cropping Frame Size
When you press the <> or < / > button, the size of the cropping frame will change. The smaller the cropping frame, the larger the image magnification will be for printing.

. Moving the Cropping Frame
Use < > to move the frame over the image vertically or horizontally. Move the cropping frame until it covers the desired image area.

Pressing the <> button will toggle the cropping frame between the vertical and horizontal orientations. This enables you to create a vertically oriented print from a horizontal image.

By turning the <> dial, you can adjust the image tilt angle up to 10 degrees in 0.5-degree increments. When you adjust the image tilt, the <> icon on the screen will turn blue.

11. Press <> to exit the cropping.
