Features

A+ Scene Intelligent Auto

EOS 600D has included an advanced EOS Scene Detection Technology that can analyze key elements of shooting : faces, color tone, color saturation, brightness, contrast, subject’s movement and distance, enabling the “A+” Scene Intelligent Auto mode, a new shooting mode that speedily chooses the optimal settings based on the data of the scenes. It can adjust exposure, focus, and optimize images by making use of Auto White Balance, Auto Lighting Optimizer and Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction. The “A+” Scene Intelligent Auto mode excels in shooting portraits, blue skies and sunsets. With its auto color adjustments, the new camera can shoot the nature with more saturated blue and green colors, sunsets with more spectacular orange warmth and faces with more natural skin tones.

With the new “Picture Style Auto” setting, EOS Scene Detection Technology is also applicable to other shooting modes. EOS 600D can analyze data and automatically optimize colors, brightness and contrast, reproducing the light and colors perfectly. EOS 600D guarantees sharp and clear images in any light and condition without complicated manual settings.

Feature Guide

The EOS 600D includes the Feature Guide on the Quick Control screen, providing descriptions of each setting for beginners to discover the fun of photography. On-screen instructions are available when choosing different shooting modes and settings, walking users through the advice of using aperture, shutter, lSO and Speedlite settings.

Basic+ Creative Function

A “Basic+” Function can be set in the “Basic Zone” for users to achieve intended results with easy control. Ambience settings can be made in Basic Zone (Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sports or Night Portrait) to enhance different atmosphere with settings such as Vivid, Soft, Warm, Strong, Cold, Brighter, Darker or Monochrome. Also, lighting or scene types can be chosen like Daylight, Cloudy, Sunset or Tungsten Light etc.

18-megapixel Canon CMOS Sensor

EOS 600D is equipped with an 18-megapixel APS-C sized Canon CMOS Sensor, using Gapless Microlenses and reducing the distance between the microlenses and photodiodes in order to strengthen light-gathering capabilities. The redesigned photodiodes structure can enhance photoelectric conversion efficiency which improves signal to noise ratio, guarantees high ISO images with low noise performance.

DIGIC 4 Digital Image Processor

Thanks to DIGIC 4’s ultra high-speed processing power, EOS 600D handles CMOS Sensor’s output with 14-bit image processing for smooth and rich color reproduction. It also enables functions like Auto Lighting Optimizer that optimizes brightness and contrast of subjects in backlit or shadowed situations, and Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction that compensates for light falloff at the corners of the image commonly found in wide-angle lenses.

The CMOS Sensor and the DIGIC 4 Digital Image Processor endow EOS 600D with a wide ISO range from ISO 100 to 6400 (in 1-stop increment, expandable to 12800), smooth images can be captured in any lighting situation with subjects moving in any speed. An upper limit for Auto ISO can be set to strike a perfect balance between image quality and shooting flexibility.

9-point High-Speed AF System

The 9-point AF system on the new EOS 600D features a cross-type sensor at center supporting even higher focus accuracy with f/2.8 lens, plus all 9 focusing points that are evenly spread out across the image pane in a diamond shape, accurate focus can be captured even with an off-center subject.

The Phase Detection Autofocusing system adopted by EOS 600D is best for tracking moving subjects, by predicting movements, it is best suited for capturing pets on the move and children at play, easing up autofocus and composition. Even in low-light situations, EOS 600D’s auto focus is still highly responsive and able to provide fast focus with high precision.

Advanced iFCL Metering System

EOS 600D's iFCL (Intelligent Focus, Color, Luminance) metering system, includes a 63-zone dual-layer metering sensor that reads both illumination and color spectrum, takes brightness and color information into account to ensure precise and accurate results in all lighting conditions. This avoids subjects in red to easily appear under-exposed when using ordinary metering system. When using Automatic AF point selection, the system also takes into account the information collected from the 9 AF points to recognize the subject’s position and size for more accurate exposure. By also taking the light source readings into account, the system can minimize the physics-related focus shift caused by the difference in spectral characteristics.

What is more, this system has an ± 5 EV exposure compensation range for easy creation of high key, low key and bracketed exposure images for creating high dynamic range photos.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System

The materials of mirror box and shutter are highly resistant to dust adhersion; also a special coating is applied to the filter in front of the sensor to resist dust. A self-cleaning sensor unit is built in to shake off the dust with ultrasonic vibration during startup and shutdown. The position of visible dust on the sensor can also be mapped and appended as “Dust Delete Data”, the dust spots can be removed in the Dust Delete function with the bundled software.

Image Rating and JPEG resize function

For better management of large image database, photographers can rate their photos in-camera on a scale from 1 to 5 to indicate their preferences; this can facilitate image search and browsing. Once transferred from camera to computer, the tags of rating will be shown in a number of image editing and management programs, including Canon’s DPP software. EOS 600D also provides flexible JPEG file resize options for different usages.

3-inch Vari-Angle Clear View LCD

Featuring 3:2 aspect ratio and 1,040,000 dot resolution, EOS 600D’s 3-inch wide vari-angle Clear View LCD provides low and high angles shooting flexibility. Special side-flip design is tailored for easy operation even during vertical shooting, using a tripod or the battery grip. The vari-angle wide LCD helps frame shots in Live View Mode from difficult angles to easily achieve the desired composition even without using the viewfinder. The ability to capture overhead shots or ground-level photos is instantly enhanced. Three layers of anti-reflection coating ensure clear image display even under sunlight.

5 In-camera Creative Filters

The new fish-eye effect is best for taking funny shots of pets and children; grainy B/W can create a hard-bitten documentary-like look; soft focus can soften skin tones; toy camera effect produces vignetting and color shift; miniature effect can simulate the look from a tilt-shift lens for a small-scale model look. Creative Filters can be applied on another filtered image to create unique mixed effects. Users can manipulate captured RAW or JPEG images in-camera without using a computer.

Multiple Aspect Ratios supported by Live View Shooting

A range of aspect ratios are available to suit the needs of different subjects, scenarios and purposes. Standard 3:2 as in 135 format, 16:9 is good for expressing wide landscapes, 1:1 produces unique square format while 4:3 works best for DC users.

Integrated Speedlite Transmitter


EOS 600D is built with an Integrated Speedlite Transmitter that can control two sets of speedlites as E-TTL II external flashes wirelessly. The new “Easy Wireless” mode makes the off-shoe flash settings easier by simply setting the speedlite as a wireless slave unit.

Full HD EOS Movie

EOS 600D supports 1920x1080 resolution full HD video, manual exposure settings, wind filter, external microphone input and sound recording output that can be set manually up to 64 levels, equipping EOS 600D with professional shooting flexibility. EOS Movies newly provides users with 3x to 10x digital magnification, so landscapes can be zoomed closer.

EOS 600D features a new Video Snapshot function. A series of two-, four- or eight-second video snapshots can be recorded; the snapshots can then be assembled into a “Video Snapshot Album” for playback, producing movie-like montage effects. With the help of Canon’s bundled ZoomBrowser EX / ImageBrowser, users can edit the sequences and tempo of their movies easily.

Background music can be added during the playback of “Video Snapshot Album” and “Slide Show”, allowing users to share images and videos with families and friends in more creative ways. Users can add more background music choices in their movies with EOS Utility.

Battery Grip BG-E8

Battery grip BG-E8 dedicated for EOS 600D can also be used as a vertical shooting grip. BG-E8 can accommodate two LP-E8 batteries for extended battery life to 1,100 images. With the bundled battery magazine BGM-E8A, AA batteries (Alkaline or NiMH) can also be used.

Customer Reviews

A really good service Review by Sarah: This is the first time I have used panamoz I read the reviews on other sites as well as on here and decided to go ahead with the purchase I bought the canon 600d with 18-55 mm lens kit. Ordered it on Saturday and it arrived on Wednesday, really quick delivery and a good service that saved me over £100 compared to other stores. Thanks for the great service (Posted on 03/12/2011)
