18 MP CMOS sensor
Ideal for those who want to create large, poster-size
prints – or crop images without losing any of the detail
necessary for printing – EOS 550D’s 18MP CMOS sensor is
outstanding in low light, and produces images with
incredibly low noise.
DIGIC 4
Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor works with the CMOS sensor to
deliver 14-bit image processing, for smooth gradations
and natural looking colours. DIGIC 4 also powers
advanced Noise Reduction when shooting at higher ISO
speeds, plus split-second start-up times and
near-instant image review after shooting.
High ISO for low light
When light levels fall, the EOS 550D offers an ISO range
of up to 6400 – expandable to 12800 for those
environments where using flash is undesirable.
Full HD movie recording
The EOS 550D combines exceptional still shooting with
the ability to shoot Full HD (1080p) video. To satisfy
your creativity the EOS 550D features full manual
control and selectable frame rates. You can also shoot
high speed 50/60fps movies at 720P for when the action
is really fast. An HDMI connection allows High
Definition playback of footage and images on any HDTV.
Also with compatible TVs playback can be controlled
using the TV’s remote control.
7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 Clear View LCD
Detailed checks on images and video are possible with a
7.7cm (3.0”) 3:2 Clear View LCD screen, which features
an ultra-high 1,040,000 dots for increased clarity.
Switch to Live View mode and use the real-time visual
feed to shoot from awkward angles.
iFCL metering system
A new 63-zone dual layer metering sensor analyses Focus,
Colour and Luminance information, providing accurate and
consistent metering.
Quick Control screen
Accessible using a dedicated button it provides easy
access to commonly used functions, ensuring that you are
ready to take the shot as it happens.
External Microphone Socket
Add an additional microphone for better quality sound
using the 3.5mm stereo jack socket.
Movie Crop
Shoot VGA movies with an effective zoom of 7x. Movie
crop uses only the centre part of the sensor and allows
long distance shooting without having to change lenses.
Create a shooting system as unique as you are

and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites.
