Features

Overview: This Canon EOS Rebel T7 kit includes the Rebel T7 DSLR camera body and the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II zoom lens. The camera body has a standard Canon EF mount, and is compatible with Canon EF and EF-S lenses.

Viewfinder: The Canon EOS Rebel T7 uses an eye-level SLR viewfinder with pentamirror with 0.8x magnification (w/50mm lens at infinity) for approximately 95% vertical and horizontal coverage. It has a -2.5 to +0.5 diopter adjustment so you can focus the viewfinder to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses). When using the self-timer or remote control, when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use the supplied eyepiece cover, attached to the neck strap, to cover the eyepiece.

3" LCD Monitor: The EOS Rebel T7 features a 3" LCD monitor with a 4:3 aspect ratio and approximately 920,000 dots for Live View composition and viewing recorded images. The LCD monitor offers a wide 170° viewing angle and 7 brightness levels to choose from.

Live View: The Live View Function enables viewing your subjects directly on the camera's 3" LCD monitor. The camera allows you to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focusing. You can choose one of two grid overlay options for the LCD screen to help you line up vertical and horizontal lines. The camera can be controlled remotely via a computer through a USB connection, or wirelessly with the optional RC-6 remote controller.

24.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor: Canon's large-area CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers approximately 24.7 million total pixels and 24.1 million effective pixels. This APS-C-sized sensor (22.3mm x 14.9mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length.

DIGIC 4+ Image Processor: The Rebel T7 is equipped with Canon's DIGIC 4+ Image Processor. The DIGIC 4+ powers the camera's advanced functions and capabilities, giving you fast responsive performance. The processor lets you shoot high ISO shots and reduces noise for vivid color and detail in low light situations.

Image Recording: The camera records still images in JPEG and RAW formats. You can choose from the following image sizes: Large, Medium, Small 1, Small 2, and Small 3. For each resolution (except Small 2 and Small 3), you can set the compression to Fine or Normal.

Aspect Ratio: The camera's image sensor has an aspect ratio of 3:2. You can choose to record still images in 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios. This gives you the option of selecting any of the following image sizes:

RAW File Format: The RAW file format records the image data as captured by the camera's CMOS sensor without further processing and converts it to digital data and records it onto the card as is. RAW images can be adjusted, then developed and produced into JPEG images using the downloadable Digital Photo Professional software. For RAW images, you can record only at 6000 x 4000 resolution. You can set the camera to RAW + JPEG and record a RAW image and a Large Fine JPEG image simultaneously.

Recording Media: The EOS Rebel T7 records images on an SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, including UHS-I (Ultra High Speed) memory cards. It is also compatible with some brands of Eye-Fi cards that feature wireless transfer of images, although their performance is not guaranteed. No recording media is supplied with the camera.

Manual Sensor Cleaning: When dust settles on the sensor surface of the camera, you can remove manually using a comercially-available camera blower. When you select "Clean Manually" in the menu, the mirror will raise, allowing you to blow dust off of the image sensor. If the sensor needs to be cleaned directly, it is recommended that the work is done by a Canon Service Center. In case visible dust still remains, you can delete the effect of the dust particles from the image via the downloadable Digital Photo Professional software.

Shooting Modes: The EOS Rebel T7 offers 14 different shooting modes arranged on the Mode Dial in the following zones:

• Creative Zone:
  • Program AE (P): This is a general-purpose shooting mode, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scene's brightness.
  • Shutter-priority AE (Tv): In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject.
  • Aperture-priority AE (Av): In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness.
  • Manual Exposure (M): You set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired.
• Basic Zone:

Video Snapshots: A video snapshot is a short movie clip lasting 2, 4, or 8 seconds. You can combine a series of video snapshots into an album, and save them as a single movie file. The compiled video is perfect for sharing online or displaying on an HDTV via the HDMI port.

9-Point AF System: The EOS Rebel T7 features a 9-point auto-focus system that uses a center cross-type point for sharp, precise focus.

AF Modes: The camera employs one of 3 AF systems to let you seize every photo opportunity with fast, accurate focus:

• One-Shot AF: suited for still subjects, the camera focuses only once.
• AI Servo AF: for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. The subject will be focused continuously while the shutter button is pressed halfway.
• AI Focus AF: switches from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the subject starts moving.

Manual Focusing: If you choose to focus manually, you will need to set the focus mode switch on the lens from AF to MF, and turn the lens focusing ring until the subject looks sharp in the viewfinder. You can magnify the image 5x or 10x for better visibility when focusing.

ISO Speed: The Image Sensor's sensitivity to light, or the ISO Speed, can be set to suit the ambient light level. With Autoexposure Shooting, the ISO Speed is set automatically between ISO 100 - ISO 6400. With Manual Exposure, the ISO Speed is set automatically or manually between ISO 100 - ISO 6400. The expanded ISO speed setting of "H" is equivalent to ISO 12800.

White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings:

• Auto: the camera sets the white balance automatically according to shooting conditions. You can choose between Ambience Priority and White Priority
• Daylight: for recording outdoors on a bright day
• Shade: counters strong blue tones in open shade on sunny days
• Cloudy: for cloudy days, dusk and dawn
• Tungsten Light: for incandescent illumination
• White Fluorescent Light: eliminates typical green color casts
• Flash Use: a starting point for studio strobes and Canon Speedlites
• Custom: enables you to manually set the white balance for a specific light source for better accuracy. By selecting this image, you import the white balance data for the setting

White Balance Correction: You can correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. It has the same effect as using a color temperature conversion filter or a color compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.

Color Space: The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera, you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set automatically.

Shoot with Ambience Selection: Except in the Scene Intelligent Auto and Flash Off Basic Zone modes, you can select the ambience for shooting. You can choose from Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, and Cool, each at Low, Standard, or Strong effects. You can also choose Brighter or Darker, with Low, Medium, and High settings, and a Monochrome setting, with Blue, B/W, or Sepia effects.

Picture Style: By selecting a picture style you can achieve various effects matching your photographic expression or the subject. Picture Style setting is not available in Basic Zone modes, except Creative Auto. Picture Style selections include: Auto, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, Monochrome, and User Defined 1-3.

Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-5 stops in 1/3-stop increments, although the indicator in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to +/-2 stops.

Auto Exposure Bracketing: With auto exposure bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically changes the exposure level up to +/-2 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. When in Single Shooting mode, the camera will change the exposure level on three single shots (requiring three presses of the shutter release). In Continuous Shooting mode, or when shooting with the self-timer or optional remote controller, you can take three shots with one press of the shutter release, and the exposure levels will change with each shot taken.

AE Lock: AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects.

Bulb Exposures: When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing the shutter button fully. Bulb is useful when a long exposure is necessary for capturing night scenes, fireworks, the night sky, etc. The optional RS-60E3 remote switch is also recommended for bulb exposures. It connects to the camera's 2.5mm sub-mini remote jack.

Flash: The camera's built-in retractable, auto pop-up flash with E-TTL II autoflash metering. The flash takes approximately 3 seconds to recycle for the next flash. The viewfinder has an icon to let you know the flash is ready. You can set the exposure compensation for the flash to +/- 2 stops in 1/3-stop increments. The flash range varies with the ISO speed. Other flash functions include:

• AF-Assist: Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier auto-focusing. It is effective up to approximately 13.1 feet away.
• FE Lock: FE (flash exposure) lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure reading for any part of a subject.
• Red-Eye Reduction: Using the camera's Red-Eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture will reduce the common phenomenon of red-eye effect.

External Flash: In addition to the built-in flash, the EOS Rebel T7 has a hot shoe for adding optional external flash units. The camera is compatible with Canon's entire line of EX-series Speedlites, plus Macro Lites for close-ups. Canon EX-series Speedlites offer professional-quality illumination for virtually any subject. The built-in flash can work as a Master unit with Canon Speedlites with the wireless slave feature and trigger the Speedlite(s) to fire.

Optional GPS Receiver: The optional GP-E2 GPS Receiver can be mounted to the camera's hot shoe. The receiver records location information, such as longitude, latitude, elevation, direction, and time data, and attach it to your photos.

Metering Modes: The Rebel T7 has 63-zone TTL open-aperture metering, using 7,560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor. You can select from the following metering modes:

• Evaluative Metering: The camera's standard metering mode utilizes all AF points within the frame, and is suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions. After detecting the main subject's position, brightness, background, front and back lighting conditions, etc, the camera sets the proper exposure.
• Partial Metering: Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc; uses approximately 6% of the frame at the center.
• Center-weighted Average Metering: Metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.

Continuous Shooting Mode: In Continuous Shooting mode, you can shoot up to 3 full-resolution frames per second. The maximum number of shots in a single burst will vary with the image quality setting:

• JPEG Large/Fine: 150 shots
• RAW: 11 shots
• RAW+JPEG Large/Fine: 6 shots

Self-Timer: The camera will record an image following a preset time delay after pressing the shutter release. The self-timer lamp and beeper will indicate a countdown before the picture is taken. You can choose from the following self-timer modes:

• 10 Second: The camera takes a single image 10 seconds after pressing the shutter release button. You can also use the optional remote control in this mode.
• 2 Second: The camera takes a single image 2 seconds after pressing the shutter release.
• 10 Second Continuous Shots: The camera begins taking a series of images (2-10) ten seconds after the shutter release button is pressed.

Creative Filters: You can apply the following Creative Filters to an image and save it as a new image:

• Grainy B/W: Creates a grainy black-and-white photo with adjustable contrast.
• Soft Focus: Gives the image a soft look. You can change the degree of softness by adjusting the blur.
• Fish-eye Effect: Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens with a barrel-type distortion.
• Toy Camera Effect: This effect makes the photo look as if it was shot by a toy camera by darkening the photo's corners and applying a unique color tone.
• Miniature Effect: Creates a diorama effect.

Auto Rotation: Vertical shots can be rotated automatically so that they are displayed on the camera's LCD monitor upright during playback. In the menu, you can select an auto-rotated image on the computer only, or on both the computer and camera monitor.

Image Review: The image can be displayed on the LCD monitor immediately after you shoot. The review time can be set to off (not displayed), 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds, or Hold, which keeps the image displayed on the LCD monitor until the camera is focused again.

Slide Show: You can view all images on the memory card one after another with the Auto Playback function (slide show). You can set the time each image is displayed on the LCD monitor to 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, or 20 seconds. You can also select which images to display: all images, images by date, images by folder, movies only, stills only, or by rating.

Index Display: This feature allows you to view four (2 x 2) or nine (3 x 3) images at once on the LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly.

Image Magnification: When viewing a still picture in single image playback mode, you can magnify the image from 1.5x to 10x. While the image is magnified, you can scroll anywhere around the image.
