Safety Warnings

Follow these safeguards and use the equipment properly to prevent injury, death, and material damage.
Preventing Serious Injury or Death
To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, and explosions, follow the safeguards below: - Do not use any batteries, power sources, and accessories not specified in this booklet. Do not use any home-made or modified batteries. - Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or modify the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not apply heat or apply solder to the battery pack or back-up battery. Do not expose the battery pack or back-up battery to fire or water. And do not subject the battery pack or back-up battery to strong physical shock. - Do not install the battery pack or back-up battery in reversed polarity (+ ). Do not mix new and old or different types of batteries. - Do not recharge the battery pack outside the allowable ambient temperature range of 0C - 40C (32F - 104F). Also, do not exceed the recharging time. - Do not insert any foreign metallic objects into the electrical contacts of the camera, accessories, connecting cables, etc. Keep the back-up battery away from children. If a child swallows the battery, consult a physician immediately. (Battery chemicals may harm the stomach and intestines.) When disposing of a battery pack or back-up battery, insulate the electrical contacts with tape to prevent contact with other metallic objects or batteries. This is to prevent fire or an explosion. If excessive heat, smoke, or fumes are emitted during battery pack recharging, immediately unplug the battery charger from the power outlet to stop the recharging and prevent a fire. If the battery pack or back-up battery leaks, changes color, deforms, or emits smoke or fumes, remove it immediately. Be careful not to get burned in the process. Prevent any battery leakage from contacting your eyes, skin, and clothing. It can cause blindness or skin problems. If the battery leakage contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing, flush the affected area with lots of clean water without rubbing it. See a physician immediately. During the recharging, keep the equipment away from the reach of children. The cord can accidentally choke the child or give an electrical shock. Do not leave any cords near a heat source. It can deform the cord or melt the insulation and cause a fire or electrical shock. Do not fire the flash at someone driving a car. It may cause an accident. Do not fire the flash near a persons eyes. It may impair the persons vision. When using flash to photograph an infant, keep at least 1 meter away. Before storing the camera or accessory when not in use, remove the battery pack and disconnect the power plug. This is to prevent electrical shock, heat generation, and fire. Do not use the equipment where there is flammable gas. This is to prevent an explosion or fire.

If the product does not work properly or requires repair, contact your dealer or your nearest Canon Service Center.

Handling Precautions

Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical shock. The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you accidentally drop the camera into water, 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 wet cloth. Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data. Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction. The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center. Do not touch the cameras electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation. If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room, condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag. If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, CF card and battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated before using the camera. If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working. Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a darkroom or chemical lab. If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions before using the camera. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Full Auto

Basic Zone All you do is press the shutter button. Fully automatic shooting for specific kinds of subjects. 1: Full Auto (p.40) Image Zone 2 : Portrait (p.43) 3: Landscape (p.44) 4 : Close-up (p.45) 5: Sports (p.46) 6 : Night Portrait (p.47) 7: Flash Off (p.48)

Shooting a Moving Subject
In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, if the subject moves (distance to camera changes) during or after you focus, the AI Servo AF will take effect to focus the subject continuously. As long as you keep aiming the AF point on the subject while pressing the shutter button halfway, the focusing will be continuous. When you want to take the picture, press the shutter button completely.

2 Shooting Portraits

The <2> (Portrait) mode blurs the background to make the human subject stand out. It also makes flesh tones and the hair look softer than with the <1> (Full Auto) mode.

Shooting Tips

The further the distance between the subject and background, the better. The further the distance between the subject and background, the more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand out better in front of a plain, dark background. Use a telephoto lens. If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary. Focus the face. Check that the AF point covering the face flashes in red.
If you hold down the shutter button, you can shoot continuously to obtain different poses and facial expressions. (Approx. 3 shots/sec.) If necessary, the built-in flash will pop-up automatically.

3 Shooting Landscapes

Use the <3> (Landscape) mode for wide scenery, night scenes, and to have everything in focus from near to far. The greens and blues also become more vivid and sharp than with <1> (Full Auto).
Use a wide-angle lens. When using a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end. This will have objects near and far in focus, better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth to landscapes. Shooting night scenes. Since the built-in flash will be disabled, this mode is also good for night scenes. For night scenes, use a tripod to prevent camera shake. If you want to photograph a person against a night scene, set the Mode Dial to <6> and use a tripod. (p.47)

4 Shooting Close-ups

When you want to photograph flowers or small things up close, use the <4> (Close-up) mode. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (optional).
Use a simple background. A simple background makes the flower, etc., stand out better. Move to the subject as close as possible. Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses have indications such as <40.28m/0.9ft>. The lens minimum focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark on the camera to the subject. If you are too close to the subject, the focus confirmation light <o> will blink. Under low light, the built-in flash will fire. If you are too close to the subject and the bottom of the picture looks dark (due to the lens barrel obstructing the flash), move away from the subject. With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end. If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the subject look larger.

Check the shutter speed in the viewfinder. When you press the shutter button halfway, the bottom of the viewfinder will display the shutter speed from 30" to 4000 (30 - 1/ 4000 sec.). The darker it is, the lower the number (slower shutter speed) will be. A slower shutter speed is more likely to result in camera shake. As a general rule, if the shutter speed is slower (lower number) than the reciprocal of the lens focal length multiplied by 1.6 (For example, if the lens focal length is 55mm, 55 x 1.6 is 80 so the reciprocal of 1/ 80) is the minimum shutter speed required to prevent camera shake. If the shutter speed is slower than this, either increase the ISO speed (p.53) or use the flash (p.54). The program can be shifted. (Program shift) After pressing the shutter button halfway, turn the <6> dial to change the shutter speed and aperture setting combination (program).
In very low light or very bright light, the exposure setting will blink when you press the shutter button halfway, as shown in the figure. In low light, either increase the ISO speed (p.53) or use flash (p.54). In bright light, decrease the ISO speed.
Z: Changing the ISO SpeedN
Set the ISO speed (imaging sensors sensitivity to light) to suit the ambient light level. For example, when you increase the ISO speed (higher number) for low light, a faster shutter speed can be used and camera shake will be less prone to occur. The effective range of the flash will also increase.
Press the <WZ> button.

[ISO speed] will appear.

2 Select the ISO speed. select the Press the <S> key to
desired ISO speed, then press the shutter button halfway.

ISO Speed Guide

ISO Speed 100/200 400/Normal (No flash) Sunny outdoors Overcast skies, evening Night or dark indoors See page 54 Flash Range
Using a high ISO speed or shooting in high-temperature conditions may result in slightly grainy images. High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause irregular colors in the image. In the Basic Zone modes, the ISO speed will be set automatically within ISO 100 - 400 to match the respective light level. With ISO 800 or 1600, camera shake is less prone to occur than with the Basic Zone modes. The flash range will also be longer.

Select the image-recording quality.
Under the [z] tab, select [Quality] and press <0>. Set it to the desired recording quality such as [73], then press <0>. [Quality] will be displayed. The figures (**** x ****) displayed on the upper right is the actual pixel count (horizontal x vertical) for the respective quality setting.

* Applies to a 512MB CF card. * Except for the 1 mode, the JPEG is used to record the image in all the recording-quality modes.
Whats the difference between 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8?
3, 4, and 6 indicate the image size. 3: Large, 4: Medium, and 6: Small, 7 (Fine) and 8 (Normal) indicate the image quality based on the data compression rate. The 7 image has higher image quality. If 8 is selected, the image quality will be slightly lower, but more images can be saved to the CF card.
Which recording quality is recommended?
You have to take into consideration the capacity of the CF card, the size of the paper for printing the image, and the number of shots you plan to take. For example, if you use a 512MB CF card to take 100 shots, select the highest image quality 73. Or if you use a 256MB CF card to shoot 80 shots and want to print on A3-size or larger paper, select 83. If it will be A4 size, select 74.
Can the image-recording quality also be selected in the Basic Zone modes?
Yes, the image-recording quality other than 1 and 1+73 can be selected. Set the recording quality in both the Basic Zone and Creative Zone modes respectively.
What is the shooting capacity with CF cards other than 512MB?
Format the CF card and check the number of possible shots on the LCD monitor.
I took more shots than the number of possible shots indicated.
Depending on the shooting conditions, you may be able to take more shots than was indicated. Or, you might be able to take fewer shots than indicated. The possible shots displayed is only an estimate.

The flash exposure will be set automatically to match the aperture that was set automatically. The flash sync speed can be set from 30 sec. to 1/200 sec.
f: Changing the Depth of Field
To obtain a blurry background or to make everything near and far look sharp, set the Mode Dial to <f> (Aperture-priority AE) to adjust the depth of field (range of acceptable focus).
* <f> stands for Aperture value which is the size of the diaphragm hole inside the lens.

completely. The picture will be taken with the selected aperture.
About the Aperture Display The larger the f/number, the smaller the aperture opening will be. The apertures displayed will differ depending on the lens. If no lens is attached to the camera, 00 will be displayed for the aperture.
When using a high aperture value, note that camera shake can occur in low light scenes. A higher aperture value will make the shutter speed slower. Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a tripod. The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also the lens and subject distance. Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of field, you need not set a high aperture value to obtain a sharp picture from the foreground to the background. On the other hand, a telephoto lens has a narrow depth of field. And the closer the subject, the narrower the depth of field. A farther subject will have a wider depth of field. Set the aperture so that the shutter speed display does not blink in the viewfinder. If you press the shutter button halfway and change the aperture while the shutter speed is displayed, the shutter speed display will also change to maintain the same exposure (amount of light reaching the imaging sensor). If you exceed the adjustable shutter speed range, the shutter speed display will blink to indicate that the standard exposure cannot be obtained. If the picture will be too dark, the 30" (30 sec.) shutter speed display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the left to set a lower aperture value or increase the ISO speed. If the picture will be too bright, the 4000 (1/4000 sec.) shutter speed display will blink. If this happens, turn the <6> dial to the right to set a higher aperture value or decrease the ISO speed.
The flash exposure will be set automatically to match the aperture that was set. The shutter speed will set automatically between 30 sec. - 1/ 200 sec. to suit the scenes brightness. In low light, the main subject is exposed with the automatic flash, and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set automatically. Both the subject and background look properly exposed (automatic slow-speed flash sync). If you are handholding the camera, keep it steady to prevent camera shake. Using a tripod is recommended. To prevent slow-speed sync, access the [b Custom Function (C.Fn)] menus [Flash sync. speed in Av mode] (p.104) and set it to [1/200sec. (fixed)].

By selecting [Default set.], you can revert the respective Picture Style to its default parameters. To apply the adjusted Picture Style, follow step 2 to select the desired Picture Style and press the <M> button. Or follow step 1 on page 63 to select a Picture Style.

I. OVERVIEW

The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi is the best entry-level digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera on the market today. Compared with its competitors at the sub-$1000 price point, lens included, the XTi produces the finest images with the purest colors and the lowest noise, and has the most comprehensive solution to the problem of dust on the sensor. It also has the clearest and most elegant user interface, the fastest and most precise autofocus, and the most powerful and useful software package. The original Canon EOS Digital Rebel, introduced in September, 2003, was the first interchangeable lens DSLR marketed for less than $1000 including a lens, the EF-S 18-55 mm zoom. Purchasers were delighted to find the camera small, light and easy to handle. Its image quality was remarkable thanks to its high-quality Canon CMOS sensor, producing lower noise levels than more expensive rival products offered. The original Digital Rebel enjoyed immense success in the marketplace, selling more than 1.2 million units worldwide in less than 18 months. In March, 2005, Canon introduced the second generation Digital Rebel XT with an 8.0 megapixel CMOS sensor vs. the 6.3 MP CMOS sensor of the Digital Rebel. The new camera was 3 ounces lighter and a half inch smaller than the original. A newly-developed DIGIC II image processor made the XT much faster, yet more frugal with battery power. E-TTL II flash control , nine Custom Functions, White Balance Bracketing, long-exposure noise reduction, a monochrome mode and a host of other changes gave XT users tremendous control over the photographic process. It was amazing that Canon could sell this camera for less than $1000, lens included. Once again, Canon had a wildly successful DSLR. The new Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi builds on this inheritance. It uses a new, highly evolved 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor that is designed and manufactured entirely by Canon using equipment which was also designed and manufactured by Canon. In this and many other respects, Canon is unique in the world of photography. Canons world-leading R&D division (second or third globally each year for 14 consecutive years in the number of U.S. patents granted) sees to it that every Canon DSLR has the highest image quality and the lowest noise in its category.
Canon designs, develops and manufactures its own EF lenses, its own CMOS image sensors, and its own DIGIC image processors, with proprietary technologies that it doesnt sell to anyone else. Canons original EOS Integrated Cleaning System gives the Digital Rebel XTi a comprehensive dust cleaning and management system offered by no other camera at any price. The Digital Rebel XTi has a 9-point, high-precision autofocus unit that it shares with the EOS 30D. The central sensor of the AF unit enhances precision with f/2.8 or faster lenses, a professional feature exclusive to the XTi in its category. The XTi has a new, large, bright, sharp, easy to read 2.5-inch color display and a new user interface that make the camera a delight to use. Picture Style, an improved Direct Print function, Print/Share, and a host of other improvements make the Digital Rebel XTi the highest performing member yet of the Digital Rebel family. The XTi builds on the successes of its predecessors, each of which was a superstar in its own right. With the Digital Rebel XTi, Canon goes from strength to strength, adding and refining features to make the XTi the finest camera today in the under-$1000 category.

operation. Also, if the self-cleaning unit is operated 5 consecutive times within 10 sec., it will not work for 10 sec. afterward. Turning the power off does not reset this. The restriction does reset if the cleaning function is not activated for at least 60 seconds. While the self-cleaning unit is disabled, if you select [Sensor cleaning: Auto] from the menu, the [Clean now] option will be grayed out and cannot be selected. Two kinds of dust are less likely to be moved by the accelerations of the vibrating LPF: small and light particles and the dreaded sticky stuff. In the event that the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit cannot remove all the dust, the Dust Delete Data (the size and position of dust too small or too sticky to remove with the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit) is obtained and appended to the image so that Digital Photo Professional Ver. 2.2 can erase the remaining dust spots on the image automatically. The shadows created by the dust particles adhering to low-pass filter #1 are detected by the imaging sensor. The most troubling dust particles, mostly the larger ones, are then sin3 gled out and their location coordinates are obtained as Dust Delete Data. This data is attached to the image. After the shutter is released, it takes about 6 sec. to obtain the Dust Delete Data.
Self-cleaning sensor system operates.

Picture is taken.

Steps to obtain dust delete data
To obtain Dust Delete Data, begin by taking a picture of a solid white, patternless object (such as a piece of white paper) which is quite out of focus despite the use of a small aperture. Use a 50mm or longer lens with manual focus set to infinity. The object should be about 1 foot from the camera. Any common light source is fine. Fill the viewfinder frame. (The image data can be obtained even without a CF card installed in the camera.) When the screen in step 4 appears, the camera will be set automatically as follows: shooting mode, aperture-priority AE; aperture, f/22; shutter speed, 1/2 sec. or faster; ISO Speed, 800***; flash, off; drive mode, single. Even if the focus mode is set to <AF>, manual focus will still take effect, and even if a CF card is installed in the camera, the image taken for the dust deletion will not be recorded. If the picture was overexposed or underexposed by 2 stops or more or if the lighting of the white paper was very uneven, the Dust Delete Data cannot be obtained properly and a message telling you to try again will appear on the screen. The Dust Delete Data obtained is subjoined to both the JPEG and RAW images regardless of the shooting mode. The data is only a few kilobytes, so it will not affect the continuous shooting speed or maximum burst. It is attached to all subsequent images until it is updated again (via the procedure described here). It is recommended that the Dust Delete Data be updated before a big shoot or after changing lenses in a dusty place.

If you use the Dust Delete Data feature and do not want to change the data of the dust coordinates, you can disable the default self-cleaning operation so it does not operate when the power is turned on or off. If you want to stop the Dust Delete Data from being appended to the images, the Dust Delete Data must be erased with the [Clear all camera settings] menu item. DPP Ver. 2.1 had the copy stamp tool for manually selecting and erasing round dust spots. This feature has been improved with the DPP Ver. 2.2 which can use the Dust Delete Data to erase the dust spots automatically. When an image contains Dust Delete Data, the automatic dust spot erasing process activates by starting the copy stamp tool and pressing the [Apply Dust Delete Data] button. With DPP Ver. 2.2, the dust spots at the locations specified by the Dust Delete Data are detected and erased if doing so is deemed effective. This modest bit of artificial intelligence will be appreciated by anyone who has done a little spotting or retouching because certain things (and its often difficult to figure out just which ones) look worse after theyve been repaired and are better off left alone.
Digital Photo Professional Ver 2.2
New High-Precision 9-Point AF System
The Digital Rebel XTi has the same 9-point AF sensor and AF unit as the EOS 30D, including the sophisticated dualprecision cross-type sensor in the center AF position. This represents a very substantial upgrade from the Digital Rebel XT. The XTi is the first entry-level EOS Digital camera to have an enhanced precision cross-type, center AF point compatible with f/2.8, a feature unique in its class. The XTi has some significant AF performance improvements over the Digital Rebel XT. For example, the XTi has the same wide-area focusing as the EOS 30D. With an f/2.8 or brighter lens, the center AF point detects focus with the f/2.8 light flux. The base line of the center AF point's vertical-line sensitive sensor is twice as long as that of an AF point compatible with f/5.6. This makes focusing detection more precise.

1.7 3.6 6.0

Additionally, the center AF point has a vertical-line sensitive sensor compatible with f/5.6. Therefore, cross-type focusing is possible with any EF lens. The center AF point's horizontal-line sensitive sensor for f/5.6 has a two-line, zigzag pattern. This redundancy of focusing methods makes focus detection more consistent. As in the case of the EOS 30D, fine-tuning has been incorporated to improve the AF precision. Focusing performance under low light has been improved by 1 stop and is now possible from EV -0.5 to
EV 18. Finally, the wider focusing area with nine AF points and the diagonal configuration of AF points in and around the center afford improved subject focus tracking. Focusing speed is on a par with that of the EOS 30D because the Digital Rebel XTi shares its high-speed 32-bit RISC microcomputer. The algorithm for AI SERVO AF continuous shooting has been fine-tuned and optimized for 3 frames per second. In the Creative Zone modes, the following AF modes can be selected with the AF mode selection screen: One-Shot AF (when focus is achieved, AF operation stops and locks), Predictive AI SERVO AF (tracks subject movement and focuses continuously until the start of exposure) and AI Focus AF (automatic switching between One-Shot and Predictive AI Servo AF). In the Basic Zone modes, the optimum AF mode is selected automatically, a convenience for the less technically inclined, certainly a part of the XTis demographic. In the Sports, Flash Off, and Basic Zone's Full Auto modes, the beeper sounds softly (when the beeper is enabled) when focus is achieved with AI SERVO AF. In the Creative Zone modes with AI SERVO AF, the beeper does not sound when focus is achieved. The AF mode can be set even while the lens focus mode switch is set to MF. (When focus is achieved, the focus confirmation icon and superimposed display lights up.) However, "MF" will be displayed on the LCD screen when it displays the camera settings The predictive AF calculation speed is the same as that of the Digital Rebel XT. With an EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, the camera can focus-track a moving subject approaching at 31 mph/50 kph up to about 32.8 feet/10 meters away. As with the EOS 30D, the lens drive keeps still when focusing a still subject with AI SERVO AF. If the subject begins to move, the camera can start to focus-track the subject immediately because focus detection is conducted continuously. As in the case of the EOS 30D, if you press the shutter button completely in one quick stroke (rather than pressing halfway first), the lens will focus, if possible, before the picture is taken. If focusing is not possible, the picture will be taken anyway to give priority to taking the picture. This extreme instance of shooting priority is especially useful should something occur that is so remarkable that even less than perfect focus will not spoil the record of the moment. Because the Digital Rebel XTi uses the same AF point selection algorithm as the EOS 30D, there is a high probability that the correct AF point will be selected automatically. The selection procedure is the same as with the Digital Rebel XT. With the Digital Rebel XTi, you can select the AF point manually on the LCD screen's large and easyto-read display. As with the Digital Rebel XT, the XTis AF-assist beam is a series of stroboscopic flashes. It is not emitted in the Landscape, Sports or Flash OFF modes. In a Creative Zone mode, it fires automatically when the built-in flash has been popped up manually. Firing can be enabled/disabled with C.Fn-5. Emission time is 250 ms or less. The working range is approximately 13.1 feet/4 meters at the center and approximately 11.5 feet/3.5

meters at the other 8 AF points. When an external EOS Speedlite is used, the AF-assist beam of the external unit is used.

Some of Canons competitors have chosen to use in-body image stabilization. The technique involves moving the image sensor in a controlled fashion, based on signals from movement detecting sensors in the camera body. The obvious advantage of this system is that users have some sort of stabilization available with almost any lens they connect to the body. Short focal length lenses require smaller sensor deflections; 24 or 28 mm lenses might need only 1 mm or so. Longer lenses necessitate much greater movement; 300 mm lenses would have to move the sensor about 5.5 mm (nearly 1/4) to achieve the correction Canon gets with its IS system at the same focal length. This degree of sensor movement is beyond the range of current technology. Short and normal focal length lenses need stabilization much less often than long lenses, so the lenses that need the most help get the least. Further, in cameras with smaller than full-frame, 35 mm film size sensors, equivalent focal lengths become longer, by a factor of 1.5 or 1.6, exacerbating the problem by making all lenses longer. Less significant but still worth mentioning is the fact that in-body stabilization is not visible through the finder, whereas Canon lens-based stabilzation definitely is. Also, while in-body stabilization works for many lenses, it does not presently work for all; high magnifications and macro lenses have caused it difficulties. In the Canon IS system, the Image Stabilizer has an actual lens group that can be moved up and down, or side-toside, in parallel to the imaging sensor or film plane. A pair of sensors in the lens can detect horizontal or vertical shake. Signals from these sensors are sent instantly to a microprocessor in the lens and analyzed. The microprocessor then causes a group of lens elements, held in place by a device called a coil, to move at the same amplitude and frequency of the shake to cancel it effectively.

How the Image Stabilizer works
Canon is able to generate excellent image quality by stabilizing the image optically before it ever reaches the imaging sensor in a digital SLR. With the optical IS used by Canon, each lens with IS has a stabilizer unit designed for that lens's needs. The unit in a lens such as the EF 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 IS USM or the EF-S 17-85 f/4-5.6 IS USM is vastly different from the powerful, broad movement stabilizers
in lenses such as the EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM or the EF 600mm f/4L IS USM. All over the world, photographers depend on Canon IS to help them achieve the highest possible image quality. At some point, in-body stabilization may improve to the point at which such technology may be appropriate for certain segments of Canons DSLR range. It would be senseless to rule out such a possibility. Even now, differences in unit cost are not enough to be significant factors in such a decision. The bottom line is performance.
New, Highly-Legible 2.5-inch TFT LCD Color Screen
A 2.5-in., 230,000-pixel, color TFT LCD screen with a wide, 160 viewing angle is a welcome new feature of the Digital Rebel XTi. Compared to the Digital Rebel XT's 1.8-in. LCD screen, the display area is about twice as large. Also, to improve the

menu's readability, the font size has been greatly increased. The LCD screen illumination is provided by three LED backlight modules and the brightness adjustment range has been expanded by one level at both the minimum and maximum levels to a total of 7 steps. During brightness adjustment, a handy and elegant grey scale is displayed along with the image. Thanks to a highly transparent LCD screen and a brilliant LED module, screen brightness is about 40% higher than the maximum brightness of the screens found on the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS 5D, and 30D. This makes it easier to review images even in bright outdoor conditions. At the darkest setting, the display is not uncomfortably bright, even in a dark place. The maximum brightness setting changes the gamma characteristic of the display to increase the midtones, making the image look somewhat overexposed, and highlight detail tends to be lost. Therefore, it is important that when checking an image's exposure and colors, the brightness level be set to one of the middle five levels. Because the Digital Rebel XTi displays the camera settings at all times, users are recommended to set the screen brightness to a suitable level which would not be too bright in the dark.

2.5" LCD Screen

New Display-off sensor
When you put your eye on the eyepiece, a new display-off sensor (located below the eyepiece) senses your face and turns off the LCD screen automatically. This is to save battery power and prevent the screen's brightness from disturbing your eye while looking through the viewfinder. The display-off sensor consists of an IRED emitter and lightreceiving sensor. When the IRED light reflecting off the face is detected by the lightreceiving sensor, the LCD screen turns off automatically. This display-off sensor can be
disabled by setting the [LCD auto off] menu item to [Disable]. The camera setting display can also be turned off and on manually with the <DISP> button (formerly INFO). If the camera setting display is disabled, it might be difficult to discern whether the camera is turned on or not. A power lamp on the top of the camera is therefore provided to indicate that it is on. Other than a face, any object that comes near the disLight-receiving sensor play-off sensor will turn off the camera setting display temporarily. The camera settings will be displayed again IRED when the face or object goes away from the camera. Also note that if you are wearing sunglasses, they could disperse the IRED light and the display-off sensor might not be able to detect your face. Additionally, if a fluorescent light inverter is within 1 foot/30 cm of the display-off sensor, a pulse may cause the LCD screen to turn off automatically. If auto power off is disabled and the camera is left on, the LCD screen will automatically turn off after 30 minutes. (Power will not be turned off.) Normally, the camera settings are displayed whenever the camera is turned on, but to save battery power, you can have the LCD screen remain OFF even after you turn on the camera's power switch. To do this, set C.Fn-11 [LCD display when power ON] to [Retain power OFF status]. This setting enables the camera to start up with the same LCD screen status (ON/OFF) as when the power was turned off.

PIXMA 6700D and Digital Rebel XTi
In the Digital Rebel XTi, when one uses a printer compatible with this feature, the USB cable can now be disconnected when the image transfer to the printer is completed, even if printing continues. Previously, early cable removal caused the printer to cancel the job. The Print/Share buttons blue lamp blinks during image transfer. When the transfer is completed, the blinking stops and the USB cable can be disconnected. This change is a convenience when one is printing multiple images or if the print size is large. For Print Order (DPOF) and Direct Image Transfer, the specifications are the same as with the EOS 30D. With the Digital Rebel XT, it was necessary to use the Communication menu when switching between direct printing and connection to a personal computer. With the Digital Rebel XTi, the PTP protocol is now the same for both, making it unnecessary to switch. The menu therefore no longer has the Communication setting.

Direct Image Transfer

As with the EOS 30D, images shot with the Digital Rebel XTi can be transferred directly to a Mac or Windows computer just by connecting the camera to a PC using interface cable IFC-400PCU (included), selecting [EOS Utility] in the dialog that appears, and beginning the transfer by pressing the SET button or the Print/Share button. The choices are: 1. All images-- All images stored in a CF card are transferred to the PC. 2. All images not yet transferred-- Only images that haven't been transferred to the PC are automatically selected for transfer. 3. Images marked for transfer-- Images designated in the menu's [Transfer order] item are transferred to the PC. In [Transfer order], you can choose either [Order] for individual images or [All] for all images. Procedures for marking images for transfer are the same as for marking individual images for DPOF. Up to 998*** images can be marked.
4. Select image and transfer-- Select images and transfer them to the PC. 5. Wallpaper for computer-- Select an image to use as the background (wallpaper) for the computer screen and transfer it to the PC. A JPEG file is automatically converted into a BMP file to be transferred and appears as the background (wallpaper) for the computer screen. RAW images cannot be transferred for this purpose.

The figures above are based on Canon's testing standards with a 512MB CF card. (The figures can also vary depending on the CF card.) As with the K189, image processing occurs even during continuous shooting. This increases the maximum burst. During white balance bracketing, the maximum burst during continuous shooting will be lower.
The Battery Life table indicates the approximate number of shots that can be obtained under varying temperatures and shooting conditions. Using any of the following techniques can conserve power and increase the number of possible shots:

1. With the Digital Rebel XT, the shortest power-off time was 1 minute. The default setting for auto power off is now 30 seconds. 2. Because the LCD screen can now be turned off/on with the DISP. button, battery power can be saved even if auto power-off has been disabled or set to a long time period. You can choose to display the camera settings only when needed. To make it easier to press the DISP. button, it is positioned at the top of the column of digitaloperation buttons on the camera back. 3. With the C.Fn-11-1 set to [Retain power OFF status] , the camera settings will not be displayed. In the Full Auto mode, because one need not worry about the shutter speed and aperture settings, using both C.Fn-11-1 and DISP. to display the camera settings only when necessary will further save battery power.

Folders

As high-capacity media (2 GB and up) have become more common because of the decline in their cost, Canon has chosen to take advantage by changing folder-related specifications to make them identical to those of Canons high end models. The changes improve the facility with which one can search for images when large numbers of them are involved. In previous models, one folder could hold up to 100 images; now, 9,999 images can be stored in a single folder. A Force-Reset option has also been added which causes the image number to reset as 0001, and a new folder to be created. Scenes shot separately can now be kept in separate folders, an obvious convenience.

Accessories and System Compatibility
The Digital Rebel XTi shares its major accessories with the its predecessor, the Digital Rebel XT. The BG-E3 battery grip makes it easy to shoot vertically and has magazines for either two NB-2LH batteries or three AA batteries. The EH18-L semi-hard case and EW100DBII wide strap continue. Power accessories include the CB-2LW battery charger (for Japan and the Americas), the CB-2LWE charger (for Europe, Asia, South Korea and China), the ACK-DC20/ACK700 AC adapter kits and the CBC-NB2 car battery charger. With a few minor exceptions, the Digital Rebel XTi is fully compatible with the vast Canon EOS system of EF and EF-S lenses, Speedlites, switches, remotes, cables and adapters.

Software

With the Digital Rebel XTi, Canon continues its tradition of including a complete package of useful and appropriate software at no additional cost with each of its DSLR cameras. The EOS Digital Solution Disk (Ver. 13.0) includes the upgraded Zoom Browser EX (Ver. 5.7, Windows)/Image Browser (Ver. 5.7, Mac), Digital Photo Professional (Ver. 2.2), EOS Utility (Ver. 1.1), Photostitch (Ver. 3.1), and the PTP TWAIN/WIA driver (Windows). The second CD contains information explaining the use of all the application software on the EOS SolutionDisk. The Digital Photo Professional RAW conversion and workflow application now supports Dust Delete Data, and its RGB tone curve adjustment function has been expanded to include an extended range of effectiveness and human face detection.
