About the Battery's Life

When the camera is ON, the battery level will be indicated in 1 of 3 levels:

Battery level is OK Battery level is low

Battery must be recharged

iTip: To save battery power, you may set the Auto- off function of the menu to turn the camera off automatically.

Attaching & Detaching Lens

To attach the lens align the EF-S lens with the camera's white EF-S lens mount index and turn the lens in a clockwise direction as shown by the arrow until the

lens clicks into place. When attaching a lens other than an EF-S lens, align the lens with the red EF lens index mark.

To detach the lens, while pressing the lens release button, turn the lens in a counter-clockwise direction. Turn the lens until it stops, then detach it. When attaching or detaching the lens, take care to prevent dust from entering the camer through the lens mount.

Currently, Media Loan carries a limited number of

55-200mm telephoto lenses. Please do not remove the current lens provided with the Canon Rebel XT, unless you are changing for this lens. Removing the lens can cause debris to get inside the camera making the camera highly susceptible to serious damage. If the lens is removed, avoid putting your fingers inside the camera. If the mirror, or any other part of the inside of this camera gets dirty, please bring it back to Media Loan so that a qualified staff member can service the camera.

Installing & Removing CF Card

To insert the CF Card open the compartment cover. Insert the CF Card until the CF Card's eject button pops up. Close the cover and slide it back in place as indicated by the arrow until the cover snaps shut.

MUnless you plan to put the CF card into a card reader, please do not remove it. Do not bend the card or put the card into the card slot backwards.

Dioptric Adjustment

Turn the dioptric adjustment knob left or right until the AF points in the viewfinder look sharp. By adjusting the diopter to suit your eyesight,

you can see a sharp viewfinder image even without eyeglasses.

Manual Focusing

Set the lens focus mode switch to MF and focus the subject by turning the lens focusing ring.

If you press the shutter button halfway during

manual focusing, the AF point(s) achieving focus and the confirmation light in the viewfinder will light when focus is achieved.

Auto-Focusing

iTip: If you are only planning to use the Full Auto mode, we recommend that you check out our Canon Powershot digital cameras or a similar item.

On the lens, set the focus mode to AF If the lens is set to MF, auto-focus will not be possible.

Setting the mode dial to Full Auto will set the following:

-The AF mode will set to AI Focus AF*.

-The drive mode will set to Single Shooting.

-The Metering Mode will set to Evaluate Metering.

*AI Focus AF wil automatically change to AI Servo AF to track a subject that's moving.

Auto-Focus can fail to achieve focus (the focus confirmation light blinks) with certain subjects such as the following:

-Low-contrast subjects.

-Solid-color walls.

-Subject in low light.

-Extremely backlit and reflective subjects, e.g. reflection from car window.

-Overlapping near and far objects, e.g. animal in a cage.
