Squares R2C7 and R3C7 in column 7 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <27>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R4C7 - removing <2> from <249> leaving <49>

R5C7 - removing <2> from <245> leaving <45>

R7C7 - removing <2> from <2469> leaving <469>

Squares R1C4 and R1C5 in block 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <25>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R3C4 - removing <2> from <234> leaving <34>

Intersection of row 6 with block 4. The values <69> only appears in one or more of squares R6C1, R6C2 and R6C3 of row 6. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain these values.

R4C2 - removing <9> from <479> leaving <47>

Intersection of row 9 with block 8. The value <5> only appears in one or more of squares R9C4, R9C5 and R9C6 of row 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 8. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 8 cannot contain this value.

R8C4 - removing <5> from <4578> leaving <478>

Intersection of column 3 with block 4. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R4C3, R5C3 and R6C3 of column 3. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 4. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 4 cannot contain this value.

R5C1 - removing <2> from <27> leaving <7>
