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.

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.

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.

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 < >.

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.

The continuous shooting speed is
approx. 2.5 frames per sec.

Metering Modes

The camera has three metering modes: Evaluative, partial, and centerweighted average metering. Evaluative metering is the standard metering mode. Partial metering is set automatically when AE lock is used (page 44), and centerweighted average metering is set automatically in the < > mode (page 42). Evaluative metering
This is an all-around metering mode suited even for backlit subjects. The viewfinder field is divided into 35 metering zones to which the three AF points are linked for evaluative metering. The camera determines the main subjects size, position, brightness, background, front and back lighting, etc., so that it can select the proper exposure for the subject at all times.

Partial metering

This is particularly effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc. This method uses a center area of approximately 9.5% of the screen. The area covered by partial metering is shown on the left.
Centerweighted average metering
The metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene.
In the One-Shot AF and AI Focus AF (except AI Servo AF) modes (page 55), when you press the shutter button halfway and focus is achieved, the exposure is locked automatically at the same time.

About Program Shift

In the Program AE mode, you can freely change the shutter speed and aperture combination (program) set by the camera while retaining the same exposure. This is called program shift. To shift the program, press the shutter button halfway and turn the < > dial until the desired shutter speed or aperture is displayed. After the picture is taken with the shifted program, the shifted program is canceled automatically and the original program is restored. Program shift cannot be set when the built-in flash is used.

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.

AF Mode

One-Shot AF

When focus is achieved, the exposure setting is set simultaneously and the focus is locked. The shutter cannot be released until focus is achieved.

AI Servo AF

Ideal for moving subjects. The moving subject is focused continuously while the camera predicts the subject's point of focus for when the shutter is released. The exposure is set when the shutter is released.

AI Focus AF

When you press the shutter button, the AF mode (One-Shot AF or AI Servo AF) is set automatically depending on whether the subject is moving or not.
AF Mode and Film Advance Mode
Film Advance Mode One-Shot AF The picture cannot be taken until focus is achieved. When focus is achieved, it also locks at the same time. The evaluative meterings exposure reading is also locked. (The exposure setting is retained until the picture is taken.) The same conditions as above apply during continuous shooting (at about 2.5 frame per second). AI Servo AF

Single frame

Autofocusing continues to match the subjects movement. The exposure setting is determined at the moment of exposure.

Continuous

The same conditions above apply during continuous shooting. Autofocusing continues during continuous shooting (at about 2.3 frame per second).

High Speed Sync

Rebel Ti incorporates Canons advanced TTL system: 3-zone flash metering that actually knows which point has been selected for focus. This level of precision ensures a flash thats customized to each shot for exceptional results. And when you add an optional EX Speedlite, the camera gives you access to E-TTL flash mode, which uses a split-second preflash fire to gather even more

By pressing the AF Point Select button and turning the dial, you can easily choose any one of the seven focusing points. The Depth-of-Field Preview button is a high-end feature that lets you see exactly whats in focus before you take the shot. With AE Lock, exposure is precisely set and then stored in the memory, giving you time to recompose your shot without rushing. When you add a Speedlite, the AE Lock becomes an FE Lock, letting you spot meter with the flash, then save the proper flash exposure until youre ready to shoot.

Auto Exposure Bracketing from top: Correct Exposure Overexposure Underexposure

Night Scene

You can always rely on Rebel Tis automatic exposure system for professional results, but the cameras special exposure controls give you lots of room for experimentation. With Multiple Exposure Control, you can place up to nine images in a single frame for impressive surrealistic compositions. Auto Exposure Bracketing records a single shot three ways, properly exposed, overexposed and underexposed, to the degree you select. You can also set the shutter speed at 1/2-stop increments for special effects, and the shutter features a 10-second self-timer to let you in on your own shot.
When youre ready for even more creative control, Rebel Ti is ready to give it to you. Depth-of-Field AE lets you sharply focus two objects with proper exposure. Set aperture

with Aperture Priority AE, shutter speed with Shutter Priority AE, and maintain a constant exposure while you experiment with shutter/ aperture combinations with Intelligent Program AE. Use Manual for your full artistic imprint: set shutter speed and aperture in any combination and override built-in metering systems.
