The vari-angle touch-screen flips out to the left and rotates 180 degrees forward and 90 degrees backward, making tough above-the-head and low-to-the-ground shots easy and allowing improved views during photo or video capture. That means the overhead shot taken in a crowd just got a little easier to shoot.

Improved Imaging Performance Features

The EOS 650D helps novice photographers capture great images and video, even in low-light with a range of new performance features:

• Handheld Night Scene mode

• HDR Backlight Control mode

• Multi-Shot Noise Reduction mode

• Upgraded Video Snapshot mode

• Upgraded Scene Intelligent Auto mode

Canon’s new shooting modes (Handheld Night Scene, HDR Backlight Control and Multi-Shot Noise Reduction), take multiple pictures, and combine them – in camera – to help capture a wider dynamic range, minimise the image grain or noise, and produce more vivid colours so landscapes and city scenes are as breathtaking as when seen in person.

Creating movie masterpieces just became much easier with the upgraded Video Snapshot mode. Now with the EOS 650D users will also have the option to delete, cut or re-order the clips before exporting the Snapshot album to post or share.

Canon’s Scene Intelligent Auto mode – the “green box” mode on the dial – analyses the scene being shot, taking into account faces, colours, brightness, movement and contrast, to select appropriate camera settings help produce the best possible image.

New STM Lenses and Accessories

To leverage the unique, new shooting functions of the EOS 650D, such as EOS Full HD Movie with continuous AF, Canon is introducing two new unique lenses: the new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens and new EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens. Both new STM lenses includes Canon’s new Stepping Motor technology, which allows the lenses to smoothly and silently focus and, when used in combination with the EOS 650D’s Movie Servo AF feature, achieve continuous AF while recording movies. The new stepping motor technology in both lenses quietly focuses allowing the EOS 650D’s stereo microphone to only record the sounds of the scene being shot.

The versatile EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens offers the right combination of size, weight, image stabilisation and focal length, allowing photographers to capture wide-angle or telephoto photographs and movies. This lens is a great option for photographers who may only want to carry one lens with them for both wide landscapes and close-ups. Appearing for the first time in a Canon EF lens is Dynamic IS (Movie Shooting Mode only), which uses a wide image stabilisation correction range to help ensure steady video even when shooting while walking.

The new EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens offers an ultra-slim, lightweight design that helps photographers avoid overwhelming their subjects with a large lens and to remain discreet in sensitive shooting situations without compromising performance. The “pancake-style” lens boasts an aperture of f/2.8, making it an ideal lens for capturing portrait stills or stunning movies. The lens is 2.28cm thick when attached, making it easy to carry and fit conveniently into a purse or pocket.
