Canon’s high-performance, purpose built DIGIC processor links all key camera functions together and allows for high-speed continuous shooting. Images can be recorded simultaneously in both RAW and JPEG formats for greater post-shooting flexibility.

Wide-area AF Wide-area 7-point AF allows accurate auto-focus on any one of 7 focus points within the viewfinder. Focus points can be chosen manually or automatically. Precise exposure control You can choose between 35-zone evaluative metering (linked to the selected AF point), centre-weighted average or partial metering for complete exposure control.

The EOS 300D has a shutter speed range from 1/4000 second to 30 seconds. Together with an ISO range from 100 – 1600, it can capture images across a wide range of lighting conditions.

Controlled colour rendition As well as sRGB, the EOS 300D features Adobe RGB. This improves colour rendition by capturing colours across an extremely wide spectrum. White balance settings include Auto White Balance (AWB), 6 preset modes and Custom.

Easy to use Lightweight and ergonomic, the EOS 300D is easy to use and comfortable in the hand. Its menu is clear and navigation is simple and quick.
