High Resolution Still Capture
18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor for high image
quality and speed.
The EOS Rebel T3i has an 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal
range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops. This
first-class sensor features many of the same new technologies as used by
professional Canon cameras to maximize each pixel’s light-gathering efficiency.
Its APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to 35mm
format).
DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor dramatically speeds up the entire EOS Rebel
T3i DSLR’s camera operations for intuitive operation and offers improvements in
both fine detail and natural color reproduction. It works in concert with the
EOS Rebel T3i DSLR’s CMOS Image Sensor to achieve phenomenal levels of
performance in nearly any situation.
Amazing Results, No Matter the Light.
ISO 100 – 6400 (expandable to 12800) for shooting from bright to dim light.
The EOS Rebel T3i features an expanded ISO range that makes shooting possible
in situations previously unthinkable without flash. With an ISO rating up to
6400 (expandable to ISO 12800), along with the DIGIC 4 Image Processor's
improved noise-reduction technology, creative possibilities abound. Combine the
EOS Rebel T3i with one of Canon's EF or EF-S lenses with Optical Image
Stabilizer and the shooting possibilities for both movies and stills expand even
further.
HD Dreams Come True.
Improved EOS Full HD Movie mode with manual exposure control, expanded
recording [1920 x 1080 Full HD video at frame rates of 30 (29.97), 24 (23.976)
and 25.0 frames per second] with new Movie Digital zoom and Video Snapshot
features for enhanced video shooting options.
The EOS Rebel T3i does not just shoot video clips, it offers the enhanced
ease-of-use, image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure
compensation necessary in a professional video-making tool by boasting the most
advanced EOS video capturing features to date: When Full HD (1920 x 1080) is
set, you can use Movie Digital Zoom to magnify the center of the image by 3–10x
while at the same time maintaining gorgeous Canon Full HD image quality. With
the Video Snapshot feature, the EOS Rebel T3i DSLR will capture short video
clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) then combine them automatically into one video file
as a snapshot or highlights “album.” With no editing needed after shooting, the
compiled video is perfect for sharing online or displaying directly on an HDTV
via the camera’s HDMI port.
In addition to a number of different recording size and frame rate modes, the
EOS Rebel T3i enables easy manual control of exposure, focus and Live View
features and even allows for in-camera editing. The large CMOS sensor and
compatibility with over 60 lenses provide a wealth of depth-of-field options.
And it’s all as easy as the press of a button — the EOS Rebel T3i has a
dedicated Live View/Movie Recording start/stop button that gets the shooting
started fast.
Three Recording Sizes
Full HD Video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30p (29.97), 24p (23.976)
or 25p frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Video are saved as .MOV files
and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD
at 1280 x 720 (50p/60p (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (30p (29.97) and 25p
fps).
Low Angles or High, a Big Vari-angle LCD Captures All the Details.
Vari-angle 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor (3:2) for shooting at high or low
angles and 1,040,000-dot VGA with reflection reduction using multi coating and
high-transparency materials for bright and clear viewing.
The EOS Rebel T3i features a bright, high resolution, flip-out Vari-angle
3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor for shooting at a variety of angles. By simply
rotating the monitor, you can hold the camera directly overhead for
above-the-crowd shots at concerts, or hold the camera at a low angle for kids
and pets. By rotating the LCD monitor fully, the EOS Rebel T3i becomes the ideal
camera for self-portraits. The EOS Rebel T3i freely enables easy angle
adjustments even if the camera is mounted on a tripod or has a battery grip
attached.
Model used is not EOS Rebel T3i and is used to illustrate vari-angle feature
only.
With 1,040,000 (dots/VGA) pixels for spectacular detail, the advanced,
smudge-resistant monitor includes high transparency materials plus
anti-reflective and water-repellant coatings to provide clear and bright
viewing. Superb for reviewing, editing and deleting photos or composing new
images in Live View function, the Vari-angle Clear View LCD monitor is also the
perfect means for accessing camera settings like ISO, metering modes, AF Point
selection, the horizontal Electronic Level and flash options.
Automatic Scene Analysis for Standout Color.
New Scene Intelligent Auto mode and Picture Style Auto incorporating the new
EOS Scene Detection System to capture beautiful scenes with ease.
The EOS Rebel T3i DSLR’s new Scene Intelligent Auto mode unites five Canon
digital camera technologies – the new Picture Style Auto, plus Automatic
Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure
–into a powerful new feature for photographers. Using the advanced EOS Scene
Detection System, the camera automatically analyzes the image, taking into
account faces, colors, brightness, movement and contrast. Scene Intelligent Auto
then chooses the enhancing features to deliver maximum impact. Blues and greens
are more vivid, “hot” colors are more fiery, and skin tones are smooth and truer
to life.
Intelligent Scene Analysis for Superb Exposure.
Enhanced metering with a 63-zone, Dual-layer metering system for accurate
metering between exposures, and 9-point AF system utilizing a high precision,
f/2.8 cross-type center point.
The EOS Rebel T3i features a sophisticated, 63-zone Dual-layer sensor
designed to complement the 9-point AF system. By taking into account the color
and luminosity surrounding chosen AF points, this system delivers an advanced
level of accuracy for better results even in difficult lighting situations.
Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and
focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T3i
gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such
as in a theater or concert hall. This makes the EOS Rebel T3i ideal for scenes
with extreme difference in brightness such as brightly lit scenes or backlit
scenes; the camera balances exposure of the main subject at the background, and
exposures are not overly influenced by bright areas in the shot. Since the EOS
Rebel T3i provides high-speed X-sync (“X-sync” means the fastest shutter speed
that can synchronize with a flash burst at the moment the shutter is fully
released) up to 1/200 sec., the range of photographic expression is dramatically
increased, allowing the EOS Rebel T3i to be used with confidence in bright
scenes or dim.
63-zone Metering System
Make Your Images As You See Them.
Express your creativity with advanced imaging features like Basic+ function,
Multi-Aspect function and Creative Filters.
Basic+ is a new creative imaging feature that makes it easy to create the
image effects you want. It can be set with the Quick Control screen in Basic
Zone modes. Basic+ provides two options:
Shoot by ambience selection
Based on the Picture Style and its parameters (sharpness, contrast, saturation,
and color tone), the exposure compensation and white balance correction are
adjusted to attain the selected ambience. You can also can also select the
strength of the ambience effect.
Shoot by lighting or scene type
Although the actual parameter set is the white balance, the settings are
expressed in more understandable terms.
The Multi-Aspect Function of the EOS Rebel T3i lets you express an image in
one of three ways by matching the aspect ratio to each scene. In addition to the
camera’s standard 3:2 ration, the Multi-Aspect Function includes a 1:1 ratio
that creates the sensation that the viewer's gaze is focusing upon the center of
the image. At the 4:3 ratio, you get nearly the same aspect ratio as a regular
TV or a 4:3 computer display. The 16:9 aspect ratio provides a wide look, much
the same as HDTV.
The EOS Rebel T3i incorporates five in-camera Creative Filters so you can
artistically manipulate scenes without the aid of an outside computer. Soft
Focus lends a dreamy, romantic aspect, while Grainy Black and White gives a
dramatically gritty, hard-bitten look. Miniature Effect creates an illusion in
which expansive subjects are seemingly reduced to doll-house-like proportions,
and Toy Camera Effect recreates the colors and softness rendered by cameras with
a plastic lens, an effect often sought after by art photographers. Fish Eye
Effect mimics the “Fisheye” lenses that are favorites of professional
photographers for their quirky, convex perspective.
Never Miss a Moment.
3.7 fps continuous shooting up to approximately 34 JPEGs or approximately 6
RAW.
The EOS Rebel T3i can shoot up to 3.7 frames per second (fps) for up to
approximately 6 consecutive RAW files or approximately 34 full-resolution JPEGs.
Shooting at speeds of up to 1/4000 sec., the EOS Rebel T3i can capture even
rapidly-unfolding scenes with ease.
Photography Made Truly Easy.
New Feature Guide offers short descriptions of each function and Quick
Control screen for easy operation.
The Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR demystifies great photography by including an
in-camera Feature Guide. Appearing on the camera’s LCD, the Feature Guide
displays a simple description or advice for the respective function. It is
displayed in each shooting mode, during Mode Dial operations, and for Quick
Control screen functions (during normal shooting, Live View shooting, movie
shooting, and playback). The Feature Guide appears automatically during Mode
Dial operations and when a function is selected on the Quick Control screen.
Flexible Storage with Memory Cards.
Compatibility with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards.
The EOS Rebel T3i uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. Compact,
inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC
memory cards are a perfect complement to the EOS Rebel T3i DSLR’s compact and
lightweight body design.
Additionally, the EOS Rebel T3i is compatible with Eye-Fi* SD cards, which
are outfitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and an internal antenna
for wireless, high-speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the
EOS Rebel EOS Rebel T3i can display the Eye-Fi’s connection status and error
notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from
the camera.

availability.
The Best Optics for the Best Images.
Compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
EF Lenses
The EOS Rebel T3i is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup,
including compact and lightweight EF-S lenses, ranging from ultra-wide angle to
super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and
micron-precision engineering to deliver outstanding performance and deliver
beautiful results. Special technologies like the Canon Image Stabilizer
technology in select lenses helps to minimize the effect of camera shake,
effectively adding up to four stops of light. With a dizzying array of lenses
perfect for travel, sports, still life and everything in between, photographers
can truly maximize the quality and performance of their EOS Rebel T3i with
superlative Canon optics.
Flash Photography
With a flash sync speed of 1/200 of a second, the EOS Rebel T3i also features
the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering system. With any of the flashes in the EX
Speedlite line, E-TTL II provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in
flash pictures in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the
exact same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also used
for flash metering — giving even finer metering command of the image area. If
you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there’s a menu setting to change
to “Average” flash metering — where the entire 35-zone area is measured evenly
for flash exposure. Additionally, the EOS Rebel T3i has a Speedlite transmitter
built-in for convenient, full-featured wireless control of EX-series Speedlite
flashes set as slave units.
The Canon Speedlite 430EX II is the ideal step-up accessory for powerful
flash shooting with the EOS Rebel T3i. It has excellent flash power (maximum
guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect way to get great
flash pictures when you can't get right up to the subject. The 430EX II is also
great for bounce flash, with its tilting and swiveling flash head. It
automatically zooms the flash head to cover lenses ranging from 16mm up to 105mm
or longer with the EOS Rebel T3i. Of course, it works with the camera to provide
full E-TTL II automatic flash exposure. And the 430EX II has a powerful
AF-assist beam, which allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on
subjects as far as 32 ft. from the camera.
