Canon t4i Front 2


Continuing its path to full video/DSLR convergence, Canon has just released the new Rebel T4i (650D outside the US), which features a Canon DSLR-first continuous autofocus during video recording with its Hybrid AF. There will be two lenses that are video-optimized, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM zoom lens and a Pentax-like EF 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens.

Other notable features include a quieter shutter sound, 9 cross-type AF points, five frames per seconds burst mode, DIGIC 5 processor, 100 ISO to 12,800 ISO expandable to 25,600 ISO, stereo microphone, UHS-I SDXC storage cards compatibility, and a 3.0″ capacitive touchscreen LCD. The touchscreen allows you to flick through your images, pinch-zoom, and quickly change settings through the Quick Menu.

The 18 megapixel t4i sensor is brand new and sports an video-only on-sensor Phase-detect AF on top of the usual dedicated PDAF sensor and on-sensor contrast-detect AF. This on-chip PDAF is what helps with the video continuous AF and reduce hunting. This PDAF has a smaller coverage area than the regular PDAF, but is surrounded by the CDAF. The new STM lenses can switch seamlessly between the two sensors, while non-STM lenses can only use the smaller PDAF for continuous video AF. Regular still photos still uses the dedicated PDAF sensor.
