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
The < > icon indicates the Main Dial. All operation procedures described in this booklet assume that the Command Dial is set to a mode except < >. Before proceeding with any operation, be sure that the Command Dial is set to a shooting mode. Page numbers in parentheses (page I) indicate where you can find additional relevant information. The camera control icons and markings used in this booklet correspond to the actual icons and markings found on the camera. See Nomenclature on page 8.

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.

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.

If the built-in flashs automatic pop-up action is obstructed accidentally, the < > icon will blink on the LCD panel as a warning. If this happens, press the shutter button halfway to return the camera to normal operation. When focus is achieved, the autofocus and auto exposure setting will also be locked. If the focus confirmation light < > blinks, the picture cannot be taken. (page 34) Out of the seven AF points, the one covering the closest subject is selected automatically to achieve focus. If multiple AF points flash in red, it means that all of them have achieved focus at the respective points. In the Basic Zone modes (except < >, < > and < > ), the built-in flash will pop up and fire automatically in low-light or backlit conditions. To retract the flash, push it back down. For more information on the flash, see Using the Built-in Flash on page 49. In the Basic Zone modes, the film advance mode (single frame or continuous) will be set automatically depending on the shooting mode. For more information, see the Feature Availability Table on page 54.
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.

Cre ati v

The Creative Zone modes enables you to set any shutter speed and aperture to obtain the exposure or effect you want. You can set the AF point, film advance mode, AE lock, exposure compensation, AEB, multiple exposures, and depth-of-field preview.

Page 32

Selecting an AF point
The AF point is used for focusing. The AF point can be selected automatically by the camera or manually by you. In the Basic Zone modes and < > mode, the AF point selection is automatic only. In the < >, < >, < >, and < > modes, the AF point can be selected either automatically or manually.
Automatic AF point Selection
The camera selects the AF point automatically according to situation.
Manual AF point Selection
You can select any of the seven AF points manually. This is best when you want to be sure to focus on a particular subject, or to use the time of the AF function to help you compose a particular shot quickly.

Page 35

Selecting the Film Advance Mode
Two film advance modes are provided: single-frame and continuous shooting.

Press the <

> button.

Show the <

> (single) or < > (continuous) icon on the LCD panel. Each time you press the < > button, the icons will appear in the following looping sequence:
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.

Page 36

:Program AE
Like the < > (Full Auto) mode, this is a general-purpose mode to make picture-taking easy. It sets the shutter speed and aperture automatically to suit the subjects brightness. P stands for Program. AE stands for auto exposure.

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.

Page 38

:Shutter-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture automatically to suit the brightness of the scene. A fast shutter speed can freeze the motion of a fast-moving subject. Or, a slow shutter speed can blur the subject to give the impression of motion. Tv stands for Time value which is the shutter speed.

4 Check the viewfinder display and take the picture.
If the aperture display is not blinking,
a correct exposure will be obtained.
If the maximum aperture (the lowest f/number) blinks, it indicates underexposure. In such a case, turn the < > dial to set a slower shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking. If the minimum aperture (the highest f/number) blinks, it indicates overexposure. In such a case, turn the < > dial to set a faster shutter speed until the aperture display stops blinking. Shutter Speed Display The shutter speed can be set and displayed in full and half stops. Shutter speeds from to indicate the denominator of the fractional shutter speed. For example, is 1/125 second. For slower shutter speeds, the numeral is appended with the seconds mark ( ). For example, is 0.7 second and is 15 seconds.
When photographing a TV screen, use 1/15 sec. shutter speed for best results.

Page 40

:Aperture-Priority AE
In this mode, you set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the brightness of the subject. A large aperture (lower f/number) will blur the background and make the subject stand out. The larger the aperture, the more blurred the background will look. Or, a smaller aperture (higher f/number) will increase the depth of field to make both the foreground and background look sharp. The smaller the aperture, the sharper the background will look. Av stands for aperture value.

The exposure compensation amount is canceled automatically when you turn the Command Dial to a Basic Zone mode. Assuming that a shutter speed of 1/125 sec. and an aperture of f/5.6 will give a correct exposure, setting the exposure compensation amount to plus or minus 1 stop will change the shutter speed or aperture as follows: Shutter Speed Aperture 1 stop 250 8.0 5.6 +1 stop 60 4.0

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
