The latest Canon EOS 800D offers entry-level enthusiasts a swift and intuitive start to DSLR photography

Weighing at
approximately 485 grams (body only), the EOS 800D is a great option for
photographers who enjoy the portability and convenience which comes with a
lighter camera, while the touchscreen interface makes it easy for budding
photographers to navigate the functionalities of the camera.

 “The EOS 800D debunks stereotypes that DSLRs are
large and cumbersome, winning over fans to DSLR photography with its attractive
and user-friendly interface that is designed for users to focus on enjoying the
shooting experience,” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations,
Canon Singapore. “Behind the clean and simple interface lies a smart system
that photographers can trust to deliver sophisticated imagery.”

AF
technology accentuates creativity

With the DAF system supporting sharp and
accurate focusing, users will have little difficulty keeping subjects in clear
focus. Dual Pixel CMOS AF is an intelligent system that constantly tracks
moving subjects, ensuring moving subjects will always be in focus, and also
functions when shooting video. A 45-point AF system, which covers almost the
entire frame, works with the optical viewfinder to complement DAF for precise
focus and accurate tracking of photo subjects, thus keeping the subject in
perfect focus.

The new DIGIC 7 image processor is paired with
the high sensitivity 24.2 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor for high picture clarity
even in intricate detail. The EOS 800D sets class-leading standards with the
ability to support normal ISO speeds from 100-25,600, enabling users to capture
a wide range of image expressions.

A nimble performer, the EOS 800D boasts of the
world’s fastest AF focusing speed of 0.03 seconds during live view*, so users
can expect to capture stills with unrivalled precision. It also achieves one of
the fastest-in-class continuous shutter speed of 6 fps, assuring users of
capturing the perfect moment even in dynamics situations.

Intuitive
touchscreen UI and features

Designed with an intuitive touchscreen
interface, users will find it easy to navigate and adjust the camera settings.
A new shooting mode guide, complete with shooting tips, thorough explanations
and graphics, will help beginners familiarize themselves with the camera and
enhance their understanding of the different shooting modes. More experienced
DSLR users have the flexibility of switching off the simplified user interface.

Taking the perfect group photo will be a breeze
when the new Group Photo scene mode is activated. This function automatically
adjusts the shutter speed and ISO speed so that users can shoot at a range of
f/8 to f/1, thus enlarging the depth of field and ensuring all subjects are in
focus.

The vari-angle LCD screen on the EOS 800D can
be tilted 180 degrees and rotated, giving users the flexibility of capturing
photos from high or low angles for creative expression and selfies.

Exceptional
movie shooting capabilities

With DAF and movie digital image stabilization
(IS) technology, the EOS 800D empowers users to deliver beautiful expressions
in full HD resolution at a smooth 60 fps. The EOS 800D is one of the first DSLR
in Canon’s EOS line-up to be equipped with movie digital IS. The function uses
an in-built gyro sensor to detect and correct camera shake via electronic
compensation for higher stability to produce more vivid images. 

The time lapse movie function allows users to
shoot fun and on-trend movies that encapsulates the changes of their photo
subjects, through the passage of time into a compressed format. By setting up
the camera to capture a shot at specific time intervals, users may document
varied scenes such as movement of clouds or even the traffic flow at a busy
intersection.

Connectivity
for convenience

With Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, users can
transfer images and videos from the camera to the smart devices and upload them
onto the Canon Image Gateway, social media platforms and cloud storage. And by
using the Canon Camera Connect app, users have real-time control of camera
settings such as shutter speed, focus selection and self-timer and more.

In addition, EOS 800D features Bluetooth Low
Energy which maintains constant connection to a compatible smart device at a
low power consumption. With this constant connection, users can view images,
start remote capture, from the camera, even when the camera is in Auto Power
Off mode. Smart devices with Bluetooth can wake the camera up, and switch to
Wi-Fi for browsing and viewing images or perform remote capture ( with live
view).

Users can also use Bluetooth to perform basic
remote capture (no live view), control image playback and slide show when the
camera is connected to a TV or projector via smart devices or the new BR-E1
Bluetooth wireless controller.

Bundled
kit lens – EF-S18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM and optional accessory – BR-E1 Bluetooth
wireless controller

The EOS 800D comes packaged with the new
compact standard zoom lens – EF-S18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM. This new lens is
significantly smaller than its cousins in the same class, making it the perfect
kit lens for a new user DSLR who might be concerned with bulk.

Optional accessories for the EOS 800D include
the new BR-E1 wireless controller, which uses Bluetooth connectivity to operate
the camera from anywhere within a 5m radius.
