-point AF system Canon EOS Rebel T2i highlights The EOS Rebel T2i features Canon's newest Dual
-layer sensor, with 63
-zones. By measuring not only the amount of light, but also taking into account color and luminosity, this new system delivers a very high level of accuracy for better results every time. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T2i gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as sports on a cloudy day, or indoor holiday scenes. Additionally, the EOS Rebel T2i has a high
-precision, 9
-point AF system utilizing a high
-precision, f/
2.8 cross
-type center point. The 9
-point AF system uses both normal and high
-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually selected. New Quick Control Screen button The EOS Rebel T2i's refined button layout includes a dedicated button that directs the camera immediately to the Quick Control screen, where it's simple to navigate among any number of settings, including ISO, Exposure and Flash Exposure compensation, drive mode, white balance, image quality and much, much more.
