Camera shake is difficult to avoid when shooting at night, indoors or in other dark places. Canon EOS interchangeable-lens cameras let you take beautiful photos with minimized camera shake and noise, even in low light.
With ISO speed, a higher number means greater sensitivity, enabling photography in dimly lit settings. EOS cameras offer a maximum ISO setting of 12800, even in entry-level models. Such high-sensitivity shooting is made possible through the combination of a large CMOS sensor, which efficiently gathers light entering through the lens, and Canon's high-speed DIGIC imaging processor, which converts this light into image data.

Sometimes a camera doesn’t focus when you’re ready to shoot. But EOS cameras offer advanced autofocus performance that enables highly accurate focusing.
Canon's entry-level and advanced-amateur level interchangeable-lens cameras feature an All-Cross 9-point AF Sensor. As all 9 points are capable of reading subject detail both horizontally and vertically, the sensor delivers high-precision autofocus performance.
Additionally, when shooting a moving subject, the AI Servo AF mode tracks the motion and automatically adjusts focus as needed, so you only have to set the focus once to ensure sharp images.

EOS cameras also support quick focusing performance when shooting stills or movies in Live View, which lets you frame scenes using the LCD monitor.
This is made possible through the newly developed Hybrid CMOS AF featured in entry-level models. The technology effectively combines the contrast-detection AF with the phase-detection AF, enabling fast, accurate autofocus performance.
Whether shooting stills or movies, EOS cameras offer smooth focusing, from close-up shots to distant views.
How AF works using Hybrid CMOS AF
Continuous shooting comes in handy when photographing sporting events and in other situations where there is a moving subject. With EOS cameras, even entry-level models allow continuous shooting of up to 5 frames per second. This is made possible by the DIGIC imaging processor.

DIGIC not only facilitates the capture of subtle changes in color and gradation, but also enables background light control and reduced noise when shooting at high-sensitivity ISO settings. The technology contributes greatly to achieving both ease of use and high image quality.
Continuous shooting lets you cover almost all the action while EOS cameras help you capture that one special shot.
When faces and other subjects appear dark due to strong backlighting, EOS cameras automatically adjust the brightness accordingly.
When the Auto Lighting Optimizer function detects a dark face within an image, it makes adjustments to naturally brighten facial features.
The Auto Lighting Optimizer function also automatically adjusts low-contrast images captured under overcast conditions to minimize loss of detail.
