High Resolution Still Capture.
New 15.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with DIGIC
4 Image Processor for faster processing of fine detail and natural
color reproduction, 14-bit A/D conversion for smooth color tones and
gradations.

Canon's
CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor captures images
with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers the most pixels in
its class. It offers many of the same new technologies as used by
Canon's professional 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). Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor
dramatically speeds up all camera operations for intuitive operation
and offers improvements in both fine detail and natural color
reproduction. It works in concert with the EOS Rebel T1i's image
sensor to achieve unprecedented levels of performance in all lighting
situations.DIGIC 4 Image
Processor
With the EOS Rebel T1i, analog to
digital signal conversion is executed by a 14-bit processor, which
generates digital data with incredibly smooth tones. A feature that
originally appeared in top-of-the-line pro digital SLR cameras, the
14-bit conversion gives incredibly smooth transitions from light to
dark colors with far less risk of "banding." A sky at sunset is a
perfect example. With this rich 14-bit gradation, the EOS Rebel T1i
offers RAW images of the highest quality that can be processed with
Canon's Digital Photo Professional software. Even JPEG files, which
are always finished at 8-bits per channel, use the full 14-bit
conversion initially to generate the best possible color and tonal
detail. |
Sophisticated Still and Video Features.
Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080
resolution with HDMI output for HD viewing of stills and video.

The EOS
Rebel T1i shoots brilliant video, even in full high definition. By simply
selecting Movie mode on the EOS Rebel T1i's mode dial, the camera's
3.0-inch LCD lights up, and it's ready to go. Shooting is at a frame rate
of 30 fps when shooting SD or HD quality video (640 x 480 and 1280 x 720
pixels, respectively) and at a frame rate of 20 fps in Full HD (1920 x
1080 pixels) recording. Sound is recorded through the camera's built-in
microphone. Playback modes are simple to access, and all Live View AF
features can be used in shooting video.
Full-Featured On-screen Shooting.
Live View Function for stills (Quick, Live and
Face Detection AF modes) and video.

With Live View Function on the EOS Rebel T1i, you can enjoy nearly every
camera function available in normal shooting, all with the convenience of
composing on the camera's brilliant 3.0-inch LCD monitor. You can zoom in
and navigate the composition and there's even a grid overlay for
architectural shots. Live View focusing modes include Quick mode, Live
mode and Face Detection AF mode and these are easily selectable through
the convenient Live View Function menu.

Rugged and Reduced Glare High-Resolution Screen.
3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots/VGA)
monitor with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant coatings for improved
viewing and smudge protection.

The EOS Rebel T1i has a 3.0-inch high resolution LCD monitor that features
920,000 dots/VGA for far more detail than previous Rebel-series LCDs. It's
the same screen found on professional models such as the EOS 5D Mark II. A
number of features enhance usability: an anti-reflective and
water-repellant coating provides a clearer and more smudge-resistant
surface and screen brightness can be adjusted in 7 steps in accordance
with ambient light.
3.0” Clear View LCD
Optimized Images Every Time.
Auto Lighting Optimizer for superior
highlight-shadow control.

The EOS Rebel T1i's Auto Lighting Optimizer is yet another image-quality
tool that comes to the rescue in tricky lighting conditions. It can
actually lighten dark areas of a scene while ensuring that bright areas
maintain tonal detail. It's available in all shooting modes, including P,
Tv, Av and Manual.
Sharp Results, No Matter the Light.
Wide range ISO setting 100-3200 (ISO
expansion: 6400, 12800).

The EOS Rebel T1i features a greatly expanded ISO range that makes
shooting possible in situations previously impossible without flash. With
an expanded setting to ISO 3200 (ISO expansion: 6400, 12800), along with
the DIGIC 4 Image Processor's improved noise-reduction technology, your
creative possibilities are nearly endless. Combine the EOS Rebel T1i with
one of Canon's EF/EF-S lenses with Optical Image Stabilizer and watch your
shooting possibilities expand even further.
Perfect Photographic Learning On the Go.
Creative Auto goes a step beyond auto allowing
control over frequently-changed settings.

Especially for beginners looking to expand their photographic horizons,
the EOS Rebel T1i offers Creative Auto mode. While basic settings are
based on full automatic operation, shooting guides on the LCD screen
enable you to make corrections based on simple to follow guidelines. In
essence, with Creative Auto mode, you can learn about photography while
taking stunning photographs.
