The Multi-Aspect Function of the EOS Rebel T3i is designed to let 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 comes with a 1:1 ratio to create the sensation that the viewer’s gaze is focusing upon the center of the image. You will get nearly the same aspect ratio as a regular TV or a 4:3 computer display at the 4:3 ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratio provides a wide look, much the same as HDTV.
The New Scene Intelligent Auto mode and Picture Style Auto incorporating the new EOS Scene Detection System are designed to capture beautiful scenes with ease. The camera automatically analyzes the image, taking into account faces, colors, brightness, movement and contrast thanks to the advanced EOS Scene Detection System.
It also features 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. 3.7 fps continuous shooting up to approximately 34 JPEGs or approximately 6 RAW. New Feature Guide offers short descriptions of each function and Quick Control screen for easy operation. It is compatible with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards and the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
