High Image Quality with 24.1 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) Sensor
The Canon EOS Rebel SL3 camera features a powerful 24.1 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor that can capture high-resolution images and beautiful 4K video. Take photos and videos with fine details and dynamic, rich colors from the deepest reds to emerald greens to lush blues and purples. Simply turn the camera on and feel confident that the results will be stunning.
Fast and Accurate Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Eye Detection AF
The EOS Rebel SL3 lets you shoot with Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast, accurate autofocus that helps you get the photo you want right as the moment happens. The EOS Rebel SL3 camera features an expansive focus area of approx. 88% horizontal and 100% vertical^ when working with select compatible EF lenses. The Eye Detection AF analyzes the image and automatically determines where to focus based on your subject's eyes, helping you capture a treasured headshot or a once-in-a-lifetime moment with your best friend in sharp detail.
4K Video, 4K Time-lapse Movie
Capture 4K videos at a frame rate of up to 24p for high definition, cinematic results. Recording at almost four times the resolution of Full HD, you can see your subject in stunning clarity. Beautiful time-lapse videos can also be created in 4K simply and easily with the dedicated Time-lapse Movie mode. You can also harness the power of 4K frame cropping^ to extract still images from your video recordings. All of this is possible in-camera without the need for additional software.
^ Saving a still image from a single movie frame may not result in the same image quality as a normal still image. Still image aspect ratio is 16:9. When trimming, the images will be cropped, and the angle of view is smaller.
Movie Digital IS
The EOS Rebel SL3 camera features a 5-axis Image Stabilization function that helps capture stable and smooth movies, correcting not only the subject in motion but also camera shake. This Digital IS works regardless of the lens being used, and is further enhanced when used with an IS lens.
Vari-angle Touch Screen, 3.0-inch LCD
The EOS Rebel SL3 camera features a 3.0-inch Vari-angle Touch Screen LCD that can be ideal for composing and reviewing your photos. Tap the screen during Live View while taking photos or videos and thanks to Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the EOS Rebel SL3 will quickly lock focus to that location in the image. Touch gestures can be used for zooming in or swiping through images after you've taken them, and menu and quick control settings can be accessed quickly and easily. In addition, the Vari-angle Touch Screen LCD lets users capture high-quality selfie shots with ease.
