Squares R7C4 and R9C4 in column 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <29>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C4 - removing <29> from <2469> leaving <46>

R5C4 - removing <9> from <469> leaving <46>

Intersection of row 7 with block 9. The value <1> only appears in one or more of squares R7C7, R7C8 and R7C9 of row 7. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 9. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 9 cannot contain this value.

R8C7 - removing <1> from <1279> leaving <279>

R8C8 - removing <1> from <179> leaving <79>

Intersection of column 9 with block 3. The value <2> only appears in one or more of squares R1C9, R2C9 and R3C9 of column 9. These squares are the ones that intersect with block 3. Thus, the other (non-intersecting) squares of block 3 cannot contain this value.

R3C7 - removing <2> from <12> leaving <1>
