an ideal camera for any level
photographer; combining both high
quality imaging power and a wealth of
functions that enable you to create
beautiful imagery with ease. This 18.0
megapixel DSLR features an APS-C-sized
CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 5 image
processor for fast operation and
tremendous low light performance to an
expanded ISO of 25600. A quickened
5.0fps continuous shooting ability and
fast 9-point cross-type AF system are
also supported by the performance of the
DIGIC 5 processor. This combination of
technologies also results in tremendous
image quality with smooth color
gradations and clarity for both images
and videos.
Full HD 1080p video is supported and
features a full-time Movie Servo AF
system for continuous auto focusing
while using live view to record movies.
When using one of Canon's STM lenses,
ultra-quiet and smooth performance is
possible for fluid HD movie making.
Additionally full manual sound and
exposure control is supported, giving
you a wide range of controls for
handling your videos. For monitoring of
videos and still imaging, a 3.0" Vari-angle
touch screen LCD is incorporated and
flips out and tilts for viewing from a
wide variety of angles. The touch screen
operation is highly intuitive and even
allows you to control your focus points
from the LCD.
The Scene Intelligent Auto Mode combines
the essential auto modes with an
intelligent EOS Scene Detection System
to quickly and automatically determine
the situation type you are working in
and apply the necessary adjustments to
render the scene correctly. Once the
image has been captured, it will also
apply enhancing techniques in order to
improve skin tones and overall image
coloration. Other creative modes include
an HDR Backlight Control mode for
improving the effective exposure value
range of your image; a Handheld Night
Scene mode which utilizes multi shot
noise reduction techniques to give you
improved low-light performance without
the noise of high ISOs; and seven
different creative filters to apply
unique effects directly to your images
in-camera.
The Rebel T4i is compatible with SD/SDHC/SDXC
memory cards and Canon's full line of EF
and EF-S lenses.
18.0 Megapixel APS-C CMOS Sensor
The 18.0MP APS-C sensor provides high
image quality and rich files exhibiting
smooth color gradations, exceptional
clarity and tonal range. It maximizes
the light-gathering efficiency of each
pixel and features center pixels that
assist the Rebel T4i in delivering
accurate AF performance. The maximum
resolution affords plenty of room to
make well-sized enlargements or crop
into your images to focus on the
details. The APS-C size sensor creates
an effective 1.6x field of view when
compared to full-frame 35mm format.
DIGIC 5 Image Processor
The DIGIC 5 image processor also helps
to provide excellent image quality and
high speed across the entire camera,
enabling 5.0 fps continuous capture.
This expedited processing helps to
increase low-light sensitivity from ISO
100 to 12800 (and to an expanded ISO of
25600) while effectively reducing noise
levels. This makes shooting possible in
situations where it was previously
unthinkable to shoot without flash.
Paired with one of Canon's EF or EF-S
lenses featuring Optical Image
Stabilizer, the Rebel T4i is capable of
recording gorgeous images even when
light is scarce. The processor works
with the CMOS sensor to create images
with remarkable detail in a greater
number of situations, without requiring
artificial light sources. It enables the
camera to perform sophisticated
functions such as HDR Backlight Control,
art filters, lens correction and much
more.
14-Bit A/D Conversion
The processor also supports 14-bit
analog-to-digital conversion for richer,
more vivid imagery. The T4i captures and
records images with exceptional
gradations and detail in subtle tones
and colors, producing more lifelike and
detailed pictures. By recording as many
as 16,384 colors per channel, the T4i
ensures that the fine detail found in
subjects such as foliage, sky and water
is maintained and recorded with an
amazing level of accuracy, to ensure
beautiful results.
STM Lens Support
When using one of Canon's STM lenses,
Movie Servo AF will take full advantage
of the stepping motor technology for
smooth, quiet continuous auto focusing.
This benefit is especially noticeable
when recording HD video and proves to
create a more fluid movie-making
experience.
Enhanced EOS Full HD Movie Mode
The T4i features full HD movie recording
capabilities in the 1080/30p, 24p, 25p
(16:9); 720/60p, 50p (16:9); and
480/30p, 25p formats. The Movie Servo AF
system provides continuous autofocus
tracking of moving subjects during
filming and when using live view. Manual
exposure control and audio level
adjustment are also supported, as is
in-camera editing.
Video Snapshot
Video Snapshot is a unique mode that
captures short video clips of 2, 4 or 8
seconds and automatically combines them
into one file, giving you a highlights
album that requires no post-production
or further editing. Thus, the compiled
video is ready for sharing online or
displaying right on your HDTV via the
camera's HDMI port. Plus, stills are
recordable during video shooting simply
by pressing the shutter button. In
playback, video clips in an album are
now capable of being reordered or
deleted.
3.0" Vari-Angle Touch Screen Clear View
LCD Monitor II
This 3.0" LCD monitor with multi-touch
operation and touch AF has a high
resolution of 1,040,000-dots for
high-definition monitoring and playback
of your imagery. The Vari-angle
capabilities allow this screen to flip
out to the side then tilt up and down
for use at a variety of angles,
including front-facing for use with
self-portraits. The touch screen
functionality gives an intuitive
experience when using this camera and
even allows you to modify your focus
positioning based on touch alone. Two
finger touch gestures (multi-touch) are
usable for zooming or changing images,
menu and quick control settings are
accessible, and focus point and shutter
release can be activated with the mere
touch of your fingertip. Because of new,
durable construction between the
monitor's resin-coated cover and the
LCD, reflections are reduced and the
display is viewable, without glare, from
any number of angles. The Clear View
coating gives a great deal of clarity,
even in bright sunlight, and is also
smudge-resistant.
9-Point Cross-Type Autofocus System
When shooting through the viewfinder,
the 9-point cross type autofocus system
provides quick and accurate results in
either portrait or landscape
orientation. A high-precision dual-cross
f/2.8 center point gives the greatest
accuracy and is utilized in spot
metering as well as average metering
modes. The AI Servo AF system achieves
and preserves consistent focus with an
amazing degree of reliability.
Hybrid CMOS AF
The Hybrid CMOS AF system allows for
high speed focusing during shooting when
using live view. Combining two distinct
AF technologies--phase and contrast
detection AF--the system enables faster
and more precise autofocus. The pixels
in the T4i's sensor aid these focusing
technologies in predicting the location
of your subject, thus making continuous
focus tracking fast and accurate in
video recording, and enhancing overall
focusing speed.
High Speed 5.0 fps Continuous Shooting
The Rebel T4i is capable of capturing up
to 5.0 images per second when shooting
in continuous modes. This speed ensures
you won't miss the shot when working in
fast-paced environments such as sporting
events, or situations where every moment
counts, like getting the bride walking
down the aisle. Thanks to enhancements
in the shutter mechanism, the mirror
drive and the sensor, the T4i is ready
to catch all the action.
Multi Shot Noise Reduction
Multi shot noise reduction improves
low-light shooting by essentially
overlaying multiple, separate exposures
on top of one another to build the image
density and preserve detail. This mode
effectively simulates high ISO
performance without the increase of
noise that goes along with it. It takes
4 consecutive shots, merges and aligns
them, reducing more noise than the
Rebel's traditional Noise Reduction
filter, with little to no apparent loss
of resolution. Subjects in motion are
even optimized to reduce blur.
Built-In Stereo Microphone and Manual
Audio Level Adjustment
An integrated stereo microphone and
manual audio level adjustment help
ensure that your audio will match the
brilliant quality of your video. The
wind filter feature minimizes wind noise
when shooting outside. Sound recording
levels can be manually (up to 64
different levels) or automatically
controlled, and an integrated attenuator
is also provided to reduce audio
clipping. For more sophisticated audio
recording, the Rebel T4i works with many
third-party electret condenser
microphones that have a 3.5mm diameter
plug.
Scene Intelligent Auto Mode
This intelligent mode combines numerous
technologies (Picture Style Auto,
Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic
White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic
Exposure) into one simple mode, allowing
you to make optimal images with ease.
The EOS Scene Detection system can
automatically determine the shooting
conditions you are in, taking into
account faces, colors, brightness,
moving objects, contrast, and even
whether the camera is handheld or on a
tripod, and apply these technologies to
create the ideal exposure. The camera
then further analyzes the resulting
images and applies a series of enhancing
features in order to better render
colors and skin tones.
Advanced Imaging Features
Several image features allow you to
manipulate the scenes in a variety of
creative ways. Handheld Night Scene mode
utilizes the multi shot noise reduction
mode to allow you to shoot in low
lighting and capture nightscapes with
bright highlights and detailed dark
areas--without the necessity of a
tripod. By shooting and combining four
consecutive shots at a shutter speed
quick enough to prevent camera shake,
Handheld Night Scene mode makes dramatic
nighttime photography easy. HDR
Backlight Control mode emulates high
dynamic range techniques and extends the
visual parameters of the image to
include more shadow and highlight
details in the image. It captures 3
consecutive shots at different exposures
(underexposed, correctly exposed and
overexposed) and then combines them, for
a final result that preserves detail in
both shadow and highlight areas for
proper exposure. Seven different
Creative Filters allow you to apply
artistic effects directly to your images
in-camera, including Grainy Black and
White, Soft Focus, Fish-eye Effect, Toy
Camera Effect, Miniature Effect, and
now, Art Bold Effect, which makes photos
look like an oil painting, with subjects
appearing three-dimensional, and Water
Painting Effect, altering images to look
like a water-colored painting.
Lens Aberration Correction
An automatic corrective system can be
employed in order to help reduce the
effects of different lens aberrations.
If there is light falloff detected
towards the edges of the frame, the
camera will automatically correct for
this by evening out the exposure via the
lens peripheral illumination correction
feature. Additionally, a number of
popular Canon lens' data is
pre-programmed into the camera so it can
quickly and automatically register
settings according to the lens you are
using. The T4i's chromatic aberration
correction tool enables the correction
of distracting color fringing at the
time of shooting.
Feature Guide
A specific, helpful guide is integrated
into the camera in order to help you
learn about and determine which image
settings to use in a given situation and
how they affect your imagery. It is
shown in each shooting mode, during mode
dial operations, and for Quick Control
screen functions, and appears
automatically when a function is
selected. This feature is enabled
automatically, but can be disabled
through the menu.
GPS Compatible
The Rebel T4i is compatible with the
optional GP-E2 GPS receiver (not
included). When connected to the hot
shoe or through the accessory terminal,
the receiver is capable of recording
locational data, including latitude,
longitude and altitude, to the metadata
of your files for plotting to maps and
reviewing your journey at home. You can
even track the trajectory of movement
with the receiver's logging function. An
electric compass records the camera's
orientation during every shot, and world
time information is recorded via GPS
syncing.
JPEG Resizing
You can conveniently resize your JPEG
images to smaller formats in-camera.
Keeping with the same aspect ratio and
without modifying the original image, a
new, smaller image will be saved to your
memory card for expedited online use.
Photobook Setup
You can intuitively sequence and specify
your images in-camera for printing out
into a photobook. Your editing will be
copied to a separate folder, ready for
printing once at a computer.
Image Rating
For more expedited navigation through
your images, you can rate your images on
a scale from 1 to 5. Once images have
been rated and sorted, browsing,
printing and slide shows are a much more
fluid experience.
Memory Card Compatibility
The Rebel T4i is compatible with SD,
SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, including
Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) cards. It also
works with Eye-Fi SD cards, though is
not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi
functions, including wireless transfer.
Eye-Fi cards are equipped with a Wi-Fi
transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and an
internal antenna for wireless,
high-speed image transfer. With an Eye-Fi
card installed, the T4i is capable of
displaying the Eye-Fi's connection
status and error notes easily, enabling
fully functional wireless uploading of
images right from the camera.
Canon EF and EF-S Lens Compatibility
This camera is compatible with the full
line of Canon's EF and EF-S lenses,
ranging from ultra-wide angle to super
telephoto lenses and encompassing the
STM series that is optimized for video
recording. Canon lenses utilize
sophisticated optical expertise and
micron-precision engineering to produce
outstanding performance and gorgeous
results. Special technologies like
Canon's Image Stabilizer technology aid
in reducing the effects of camera shake,
effectively adding up to four stops of
light and cutting back on blur for
clearer images. With an array of lenses
perfect for travel, sports, still life
and everything in between at your
