Thr
ee interface terminals are provided on the side of the body. The EOS
Digit
al Rebel XT camera has a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, mini-B connector that
tr
ansfers data from the camera to a computer approximately ten times
f
aster than the USB 1.1 connector on the EOS Digital Rebel camera.
V
ideo output is provided for both NTSC and PAL, and provision is made
f
or the RS-60E3 Remote Switch.
It is possible to operate the XT wirelessly via either the RC-1 or RC-5 Remote Controller.
The camera’s grip has a built-in wireless remote control receiver. The system is
compatible with all shooting modes and has a range of about 5 meters/16.4 feet, front
and center. To enable this function, press the Drive Mode button to display the
Self-timer/Wireless remote control icon on the top LCD information panel.
The XT complies with Design rule for Camera File System 2.0 and Exif 2.21, updated to
support the expanded Adobe RGB color space often used for printed materials. When
software compatible with Exif 2.21 is used, images captured with the XT and tagged as
Adobe RGB will open automatically in the Adobe RGB color space. Also, when a printer that
complies with Exif 2.21 is used, the printer will adjust color saturation for improved results.
As with the EOS Digital Rebel camera, the EOS Digital
Rebel XT camera is currently compatible with PictBridge,
CP Direct and Bubble Jet Direct printers. By operating the
camera without the involvement of a computer or
specialized software, all three of these systems print
JPEG images that comply with DCF. DPOF print ordering
for direct printing is also possible, as is batch printing of specified images. The basic
s
pecifications for these three printing methods are the same as with the EOS 20D. Also
shared with the EOS 20D is the XT’s compatibility with highspeed printing when the
camera is connected to a BubbleJet printer via PictBridge. To promote direct printing, the
XT’s default Communications menu setting is Print/PTP. PC connection is the alternative.
The EOS Digital Rebel XT camera also
has the same Direct Print or Easy Printing
feature found in the latest PowerShot
cameras. (Unlike the PowerShot
cameras, the XT does not have a feature
to transfer images directly to a personal
computer.) When the XT is connected to
