Missed
Photo Ops a Thing of the Past
The Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera provides a wide
ISO range of 100-6400 (expandable to ISO
12800), making it ideal for shooting both still and moving subjects in a wide
variety of lighting conditions ranging from low light to bright sunny days. In addition, the camera is capable of shooting
high-resolution 18 megapixel still photos continuously up-to-three frames per
second (fps), with predictive autofocus to help keep every image sharp and
clear, even with moving subjects.
The
Scene Intelligent Auto mode in the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera analyzes the image,
accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast and whether
the camera is handheld or on a tripod. Scene Intelligent Auto mode then chooses
the exposure and enhancements that can bring out the beauty in virtually any
scene or situation. Simplifying DSLR image capture, Scene Intelligent Auto mode
lets you concentrate on composing images without puzzling over settings.
Another
exciting addition to the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera is a new ‘Food
Mode’ on the mode dial for the foodie or blogger to easily capture stunning images
of the food they love. This mode enhances the color and brightness of the food
images while at the same time making the images ready to share. Other fully
automatic exposure modes include portrait, night portrait, landscape, sports, and
close-up. Additionally, the easy-to-use Full HD video mode captures sharp, high-definition
video up to 1080p resolution with the choice of automatic or manual focusing. Creative
filters such as Fisheye, Toy Camera, Miniature, and Soft Focus give users
additional ways to create fun and imaginative images to enjoy, print and share. The camera’s new “white priority” Auto White Balance
setting enables users to create images with a more neutral tone when shooting
under incandescent lighting. In addition to all the automatic modes, the new Canon
EOS Rebel T6 camera provides complete
manual exposure and focus controls plus RAW image output for advanced amateur
photographers and photography students.
The Canon
EOS Rebel T6 camera is compatible with the
entire Canon EF and EF-S lens system including over 60 current models enabling
users to capture their world in different perspectives ranging from Fisheye to
Super-Telephoto. Scheduled for availability in April 2016, the estimated retail
price of the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera will be $549.99**
when bundled with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II standard zoom lens.
