If you drop the equipment and the casing breaks open to expose the internal parts, do not touch the internal parts due to the possibility of electrical shock. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. High-voltage internal parts can cause electrical shock. Do not look at the sun or an extremely bright light source through the camera or lens. Doing so may damage your vision. Keep the camera from the reach of small children. The neck strap can accidentally choke the child. Do not store the equipment in dusty or humid places. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. Before using the camera inside an airplane or hospital, check if it is allowed. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the planes instruments or the hospitals medical equipment. To prevent fire and electrical shock, follow the safeguards below: - Always insert the power plug all the way in. - Do not handle a power plug with wet hands. - When unplugging a power plug, grasp and pull the plug instead of the cord. - Do not scratch, cut, or excessively bend the cord or put a heavy object on the cord. Also do not twist or tie the cords. - Do not connect too many power plugs to the same power outlet. - Do not use a cord whose insulation has been damaged. Occasionally unplug the power plug and use a dry cloth to clean off the dust around the power outlet. If the surrounding is dusty, humid, or oily, the dust on the power outlet may become moist and short-circuit the outlet to cause a fire.
Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
Do not leave equipment inside a car under the hot sun or near a heat source. The equipment may become hot and cause skin burns. Do not carry the camera around while it is attached to a tripod. Doing so may cause injury. Also make sure the tripod is sturdy enough to support the camera and lens. Do not leave a lens or lens-attached camera under the sun without the lens cap attached. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the suns rays and cause a fire. Do not cover or wrap the battery-recharging apparatus with a cloth. Doing so may trap heat within and cause the casing to deform or catch fire. If you drop the camera in water or if water or metal fragments enter inside the camera, promptly remove the battery pack and back-up battery. This is to prevent fire and electrical shock. Do not use or leave the battery pack or back-up battery in a hot environment. Doing so may cause battery leakage or a shorter battery life. The battery pack or back-up battery can also become hot and cause skin burns. Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the equipment. Doing so may cause fire or a health hazard.

The viewfinder has 9 AF points. By selecting a suitable AF point, you can shoot with autofocus while framing the subject as desired. You can also set the AF mode to suit the subject or obtain the desired effect. Evaluative, partial, spot, and center-weighted average metering modes are provided. Single, continuous, and Self-timer drive modes are provided. Select the metering mode that suits the subject or your photographic intention.

The asterisk M appended on the right of the page title indicates that the respective feature cannot be changed in the <1> (Full Auto) mode. The AF mode, AF point selection, metering mode, and drive mode will be set automatically in the <1> (Full Auto) mode.

f Selecting the AF ModeN

The AF mode is the autofocusing operation method. Three AF modes are provided. One-Shot AF is suited for still subjects, while AI Servo AF is for moving subjects. And AI Focus AF switches from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving. In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, AI Focus AF will be set automatically.
On the lens, set the focus mode switch to <AF>.

If an Extender (optional) is attached and the maximum aperture of the lens is f/5.6 or smaller, AF will not be possible. For details, see the Extenders instructions. <AF> stands for auto focus. <MF> stands for manual focus.

One-Shot AF for Still Subjects Pressing the shutter button halfway activates the autofocus and achieves focus once.
The AF point which achieves focus flashes briefly. At the same time, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder is displayed. With evaluative metering, the exposure setting (shutter speed and aperture) will be set when focus is achieved. The exposure setting and focus will be locked as long as the shutter button is pressed halfway. (p.79) You can then recompose the shot while retaining the exposure setting and point of focus.

Focus confirmation light

If focus cannot be achieved, the focus confirmation light <o> in the viewfinder will blink. If this occurs, a picture cannot be taken even if the shutter button is pressed fully. Recompose the picture and try to focus again. Or see When Autofocus Fails (Manual Focusing) (p.80).
AI Servo AF for Moving Subjects While you press the shutter button halfway, the camera focuses continuously.
This AF mode is for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps changing. With predictive AF*, the camera can also focus track a subject which steadily approaches or retreats from the camera. The exposure is set at the moment the picture is taken.

* About Predictive AF

If the subject approaches or retreats from the camera at a constant rate, the camera tracks the subject and predicts the focusing distance immediately before the picture is taken. This is for obtaining correct focus at the moment of exposure. When the AF point selection is automatic, first the center AF point will focus the subject. Within the spot metering circle, there are six invisible Assist AF points ( in diagram) that function in the AI SERVO AF mode. So even if the subject moves slightly away from the center AF point, the camera can still continue focusing. If the subject moves completely away from the center AF point during focusing, the adjacent AF point will continue focusing the subject as long as it covers the subject. With a manually selected AF point, the selected AF point will focus track the subject.
AI Focus AF for Automatic Switching of AF Mode
AI Focus AF switches the AF mode from One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the still subject starts moving. After the subject is focused in the OneShot AF mode, if the subject starts moving, the camera will detect the movement and change the AF mode automatically to AI Servo AF.

s Shutter-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject. This is called Shutter-Priority AE. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject and a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion.
* <s> stands for Time value.

If the minimum aperture blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture value stops blinking or lower the ISO speed. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speeds from 8000 to 4 indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, 125 indicates 1/125 sec. Also, 0"6 indicates 0.6 sec. and 15" is 15 sec.

f Aperture-Priority AE

In this mode, you set the desired aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE. A larger aperture opening (smaller f/number) will result in a blurred background ideal for portraits. This occurs because a lower f/number decreases the depth of field (range of acceptable focus). On the other hand, a smaller aperture opening (larger f/number) will make more of the foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. A smaller aperture opening increases the depth of field.

If the 8000 shutter speed blinks, it indicates overexposure. Turn the <6> dial to set a smaller aperture (larger f/number) until the blinking stops or set a lower ISO speed. Aperture Value Display The larger the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The aperture values displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to the camera, 00 will be displayed for the aperture value.

Bulb Exposures

When bulb is set, the shutter stays open while you hold down the shutter button fully, and closes when you let go of the shutter button. This is called bulb exposure. Use bulb exposures for night scenes, fireworks, the heavens, and other subjects requiring long exposures.

Elapsed exposure time

The elapsed exposure time will be displayed on the LCD panel. (Displays 1 sec. to 999 sec.) The exposure continues as long as you hold down the shutter button.
Since bulb exposures will have more noise than usual, the image will look rough or grainy. Bulb exposures may result in grainy images due to picture noise. If C.Fn02 [Long exp. noise reduction] is set to [1: Auto noise reduction] or [2: On] (p.151), noise can be reduced. For bulb exposures, using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both optional) is recommended.

Mirror LockupN

Mirror lockup is enabled with C.Fn-12 [Mirror lockup] set to [1: Enable] (p.154). The mirror can be swung up separately from when the exposure is made. This prevents mirror vibrations which may blur the image during close-ups or when a super telephoto lens is used. Set Custom Functions with [c Custom Functions (C.Fn)].
Press the shutter button completely.
The mirror will swing up.
2 Again press the shutter button completely.
The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down.
In very bright light such as at the beach or ski area on a sunny day, take the picture promptly after mirror lockup. During mirror lockup, do not point the camera lens at the sun. The suns heat can scorch and damage the shutter curtains. If you use bulb exposures, the self-timer, and mirror lockup in combination, keep pressing the shutter button completely (2 sec. selftimer + bulb exposure time). During the self-timer countdown, if you let go of the shutter button, there will be a shutter-release sound. This is not the shutter release (no picture is taken). During mirror lockup, the drive mode will be single shooting regardless of the current drive mode (single or continuous). If you use the self-timer and mirror lockup, the shot will be taken 2 sec. after the mirror goes up when you press the shutter button completely. The mirror locks up, and after 30 seconds, it will go back down automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the mirror again. For mirror lockup shots, using Remote Switch RS-80N3 or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (both optional) is recommended.

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The EOS REBEL Ti (DATE) / 300V (DATE) is a very compact autofocus, single-lens reflex camera. It can be used for a wide variety of subjects and situations with fully automatic and user-controlled shooting modes. Read this Instructions and familiarize yourself with your new camera before taking pictures. Also read Handling Cautions on page 4 to prevent camera malfunction and damage. Keep this instruction booklet handy for easy reference.

Before Using Your Camera

Before shooting an important event, be sure to take test shots to make sure the camera operates properly. EOS cameras have a lens mount for dedicated operation (autofocusing, exposure control, etc.) with Canon EF lenses. Using a non-Canon EF lens with an EOS camera may not result in proper camera or lens operation. Note that the warranty does not cover any camera malfunction or damage occurring with the use of non-Canon products.
Conventions Used in this Instructions

Handling Cautions

Camera Care and Storage

(1) The camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. (2) This camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If the camera gets really wet, promptly consult your nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe with a well-wrung damp cloth. (3) Do not leave the camera in places prone to excessive heat such as in a car on a sunny day. Excessive heat can cause the camera to malfunction. (4) The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera. (5) Use only a blower brush to blow away dust on the lens, eyepiece, mirror, focusing screen, and film compartment. Do not clean the camera body or lens with a cleaner containing an organic solvent. For stubborn dirt, consult your nearest Canon Service Center. (6) The shutter curtains are extremely thin. Use only a blower to clean them. Be careful not to blow air too forcefully on the shutter curtains. The shutter curtains can be easily deformed or damaged. Also, when loading and unloading film, be careful not to touch the shutter curtains. (7) Do not touch the electrical contacts with your fingers. Otherwise corrosion may develop on the contacts, resulting in improper camera operation. (8) If the camera is not to be used for an extended period, remove the battery. Store the camera in a well-ventilated, cool, dry place. During the storage period, press the shutter button to release the shutter a few times once in a while. (9) Avoid storing the camera in a laboratory, cabinet, etc., where corrosive chemicals are present. (10) If the camera has not been used for an extended period or if the camera is to be used for an important event, check the operation of all the camera controls or take it to your nearest Canon Service Center for inspection.

LCD Displays
In time, the cameras LCD panel display and the LCD display in the viewfinder may fade and become difficult to read. If this happens, have it replaced (at cost) by a Canon Service Center. At low temperatures, the LCD display response may become slower. And at 60C/140F or higher temperatures, the display may blacken. In either case, the display will return to normal at room temperature.

Lithium Batteries

(1) The camera operates on two CR2 lithium batteries. Check the battery level in the following cases (page 14): After replacing the batteries. After not using the camera for an extended period. The shutter stops working. The camera is being used in a low-temperature environment. You will be shooting an important event. (2) Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove any fingerprints and smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections and corrosion. (3) Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also, never store a battery in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery contacts or toss a battery into a fire. (4) Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such a case, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warm the batteries alternately.
How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation
On the LCD panel, if the < > icon blinks or it is not displayed, a proper exposure can still be obtained as long as the shutter releases. However, when the battery level is low, film advance and auto rewind might stop midway or not work at all and < > may blink on the LCD panel. After the batteries are replaced with new ones, film advance will be possible and film rewind can resume by pressing the < > button.

Lens Electrical Contacts

After detaching the lens from the camera, put on the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

How the Shutter Button Works
The EOS cameras shutter button can be depressed halfway or all the way. There is a click stop at the halfway point.
Pressing the Shutter Button Halfway or Fully
The shutter button works as described below.
When it is pressed halfway:
Autofocusing (AF) is activated. When
the subject is in focus, the AF point which achieved focus will flash, the beeper will sound, and the focus confirmation light will light up. Also, the shutter speed and aperture are set and displayed on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder.
When it is pressed fully:
The shutter is released to take the
picture and the film advances by one frame.
If an Extender is used and the maximum aperture of the lens becomes smaller than f/5.6 (the lowest f/number), autofocusing will not operate. Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake: Hold the camera steady (page 20). Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.

Page 18

Loading and Unloading Film

Loading Film

After you load the film, the camera first winds the entire roll onto the cameras take-up spool. With DX-coded film, the camera automatically sets the films ISO speed. Then each time a picture is taken, one frame of film is rewound back into the film cartridge. The frame counter shows always number of shots remaining.

The camera will then make a shutter-release sound and the < > icon and total frame count will be displayed. During the films prewind, the ISO speed is displayed on the LCD panel.

AF-Assist beam with the Built-in Flash
Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier autofocusing.
The AF-assist beam does not function in the < >, < > and < > modes. The built-in flashs AF-assist beam is effective up to about 4 meters/13.2 feet. In the Creative Zone modes when the built-in flash is popped up with the < > button, the AF-assist beam may be emitted.

Page 24

Programmed Image Control Modes
Select a shooting mode to suit the target subject, and the camera will be set to obtain the best results.

Portrait

This mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out.
Holding down the shutter button executes continuous shooting. To improve the background blur, use a telephoto lens and fill the frame with the subject or have the subject stand farther away from the background.

Landscape

This is for wide scenic views, night scenes, etc.
Using a wide-angle lens will further enhance the depth and breadth of the picture.

Close-up

Use this mode to take close-up shots of flowers, insects, etc.
As much as possible, focus the subject at the lens closest focusing distance. To obtain a larger magnification, use the telephoto end of a zoom lens. For better close-ups, an EOS-dedicated macro lens and Macro Ring Lite (both optional) are recommended.

Page 25

Sports
This is for sports and fast-moving subjects when you want to freeze the action on film.
The camera will first track the subject with the center AF point. Focus tracking will then continue with any of the seven AF points covering the subject. When focus is achieved, the beeper will sound softly. While you hold down the shutter button, focusing will continue for continuous shooting. Using a telephoto lens and ISO 400 or higher speed film is recommended.

Night Portrait

This mode is for taking pictures of people at twilight or at night.The flash illuminates the subject while a slow sync speed obtains a natural-looking exposure of the background.
If you want to photograph only a night scene (without people), use the < > mode instead. Tell the subject to keep still even after the flash fires. If you also use the self-timer (page 27), the self-timer lamp will flash to indicate that the picture was taken.

Flash off

You can disable the flash when you do not want it to fire.
The built-in flash or any external Speedlite will not fire.

In the < <

> mode, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. In the <

> or

> mode, use a tripod if the shutter speed display blinks.

Page 26

Using Red-eye Reduction (with the built-in flash)
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subjects eyes may come out red in the photograph. Red eye happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The cameras red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subjects eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except < >, < > and < >.

When red-eye reduction is enabled,
the red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel when you press the shutter button halfway. To cancel red-eye reduction, set on the LCD panel.
Red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator
Red-eye reduction will not work unless the subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell the subject to look at the lamp. For maximum effectiveness, take the picture after the red-eye reduction lamp turns off (after 1.5 sec.). You can take a picture even while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit. The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject. To further increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, go to a brighter environment or move closer to the subject.

When Autofocus Fails

The camera has a high-precision AF system which can focus almost all subjects. However, it can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light < > blinks) the subjects listed below.
Difficult Subjects for Autofocusing
Low-contrast subjects. Example: Blue sky, flat surface with a solid color. Subjects in very low light. Extremely backlit or reflective subjects. Example: Automobile with a strong reflection. Overlapping near and far objects. Example: Animal behind bars in a cage. In such cases, use one of the following methods to focus: (1) Focus lock an object at the same distance as the subject and recompose. (2) Set the lens focus mode switch to <MF> or <M> and focus manually as explained below.
If focus cannot be achieved even with the EOS-dedicated Speedlites AF-assist light, select the center AF point.

Basic Photography Terms

Exposure
Exposure occurs when the film is exposed to light. Correct exposure is obtained when the film is exposed to a proper amount of light in accordance with the films sensitivity to light. The correct exposure is adjusted with the cameras shutter speed and lens aperture.

Shutter speed

The shutter speed is the length of time the cameras shutter opens to expose the film to the light coming through the lens. The shutter speed is displayed on the cameras LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It ranges from 1/2000 sec. to 30 sec. and bulb.

Aperture

The aperture setting (f/number) indicates the size of the aperture opening in the lens (focal length/aperture diameter). It is used to adjust the amount of light striking the film. The aperture setting is displayed on the cameras LCD panel and in the viewfinder. It can range anywhere from 1.0 to 91, depending on the lens attached to the camera.

ISO film speed

The ISO film speed indicates the films sensitivity to light. The higher the film speed, the more sensitive the film is. Therefore, ISO 400 and higher-speed films are suited for low-light conditions. The ISO film speed is set in accordance with standards set by the International Standardization Organization (ISO). A film speed from 6 to 6400 can be displayed on the LCD panel.

Depth of field

This is the range where acceptable focus can be achieved in front of and behind the point of optimum focus. The smaller the aperture (the larger the f/number), the deeper the depth of field. And the larger the aperture (the smaller the f/number), the shallower the depth of field.
