The SL3 also features a 3-inch vari-angle LCD touch screen. Moreover, it is the first DSLR in the Canon EOS line to feature Dual Pixel CMOS AF (autofocus) technology with eye detection AF in live view shooting mode. With its optical viewfinder and live view LCD monitor, photographers can enjoy two different ways of shooting and customize their experience based on the scene.
“Since its inception, the EOS Rebel product line has aimed to provide imaging excellence for entry-level visual storytellers,” said Kazuto Ogawa, president and chief operating officer, Canon USA, Inc. “Therefore, it was imperative that the next step in the EOS Rebel journey include innovative features such as 4K video and a Digic 8 image processor to meet the needs of emerging photographers, while living up to the high-image quality and compact size EOS Rebel DSLRs are known for.”
In addition, its Digic 8 processor improves autofocus performance and allows for the processing of 4K video as well as 4K time-lapse movies. The camera also delivers nine AF points across its optical viewfinder. This includes a new spot AF, which allows users to focus on a precise area within the subject.
The AF system also makes the SL3 the first Canon EOS SLR to incorporate a smooth skin setting. The new setting can help render skin tones. Additionally, it has a creative assist function; this interface enables users to check and seamlessly change shooting conditions in live view, including white balance or brightness, in real time.
EOS Rebel SL3 Additional Features
Also useful for new DSLR shooters is the camera’s feature assistant, which guides and offers tips for more effective shooting. In addition, the camera employs a digital lens optimizer that corrects optical shifting automatically, even without a computer.
Of course, the Rebel SL3 is compatible with Canon’s full line of interchangeable EF and EF-S lenses. It also has the ability to instantly send images to compatible smartphones. It does so via its auto image transfer function and Wi-Fi connectivity.
