CANON REBEL XT MEDIA LOAN
SELECTING THE METERING MODE
The camera has three metering modes; Evaluate,
Partial and Center-weighted average metering.
Evaluate Metering is the camera's standard
metering mode suited for most subjects even
under backlit conditions. During manual
focusing, evaluative metering is based on the
center AF point.
Partial Metering is effective when the
background is much brighter than the subject
due to backlighting.
Center-weighted Average Metering is weighted
at the center and then averaged for the
entire scene.
SELECTING THE DRIVE MODE
Look at the LCD panel and press the button
to select mode.
Single shooting - When you press the shutter
button completely, one shot will be taken.
Continuous Shooting - While you press the
shutter button completely, shots will be taken
continuously according to speed allowed by
current settings.
Self Timer/Remote Control - Press the shutter
button completely, a beeper will sound, the
self-timer lamp will start blinking and the shot

SETTING THE WHITE BALANCE
Normally, the white balance is set automatically,
but if natural-looking colors cannot be obtained,
you can set the white balance manually to suit the
respective light source. Please be considerate of
other users and return the white balance setting
back to automatic (AWB).
SETTING THE ISO SPEED
The ISO speed is
set automatically
within ISO 100-
400. You can set
the ISO speed to
[100] [200] [400]
[800] [1600] only in
creative modes.
Tip: At higher ISO speeds and higher ambient
temperatures, the image will look more grainy.
Also, high temperatures, high ISO speeds, or
long exposures may cause irregular colors in the
image.
