Features for Canon EOS 600D
18 MP APS-C CMOS sensor
An APS-C sized, 18-megapixel CMOS sensor captures images that are
packed with detail and clarity. Such high-resolution allows large
print sizes and the flexibility to crop pictures for alternative
compositions.
ISO 100-6400 sensitivity
An ISO range of 100-6400, extendable to ISO 12,800, enables
high-quality hand-held shooting in low-light conditions, without the
need for flash.
14-bit image processing
At the heart of the Canon EOS 600D is a 14-bit DIGIC 4 image
processor that provides exceptional colour reproduction, smooth
tonal gradation and tight control over noise.
Scene Intelligent Auto mode
Scene Intelligent Auto analyzes each scene in detail and picks the
right camera settings each and every time, leaving you free to
concentrate on what’s important – your photography.
On-screen Feature Guide
The EOS 600D’s on-screen Feature Guide provides descriptions of many
of the camera’s functions, as well as advice on how to use them.
Full-HD EOS Movie
Shoot Full-HD video with manual control over frame rate, exposure
and sound. Video Snapshot technology allows short clips of 2, 4 or 8
sec to be merged into a single movie file, for footage that looks
like it was edited professionally, while Movie Digital Zoom permits
3-10x magnification while retaining Full-HD quality.
9-point wide-area AF and iFCL
metering
Nine AF points, including one central cross-type sensor, spread out
across the frame for swift, accurate focusing, even with off-centre
subjects. 63-zone iFCL metering ensures accurate exposures time
after time.
1,040k-dot vari-angle 7.7cm (3.0”)
screen
Shoot from unique angles with a 7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 Clear View LCD
screen, containing 1,040,000 dots for increased clarity.
Basic+
Basic+ technology allows photographers to customize basic auto
settings according to lighting conditions or ambience.
Creative Filter Effects
Creative Filter Effects can be applied to Raw and JPEG files post
capture, including Toy Camera, Soft Focus, Miniature, Grainy Black &
White and Fish Eye simulations.
Built-in wireless flash control
An integrated wireless Speedlite flash controller and Easy Wireless
technology allow off-camera TTL flash without the need for extra
accessories.
Use with all EF and EF-S lenses
The EOS 600D is supported by the complete system: flashguns, remote
releases and over 60 lenses trusted by professional photographers
the world over.
