The Canon Digital Rebel Camera has similar features from model to model.
Just like the other Canon Digital Rebel models, the Canon Digital Rebel XT is designed to give photographers all the tools they need to create stunning images, in a camera design that is easy to use. With each new model of Digital Rebel Canon retains a similar physical layout and menus from previous models. By retaining a similar layout photographers can be up and shooting quickly. The camera has a number of great pre-programmed shooting modes. To get the most out of the camera, photographers should also work with the "Creative Zone" exposure modes like Aperture Priority.
Instructions
1. Insert a fully charged battery into the bottom of the molded grip of the camera. Insert an empty compact flash memory card into the side of the camera, close and secure the door. Turn the camera on via the sliding switch on the top of the camera.
2. Select the "Aperture Priority" mode by turning the exposure mode dial located on the top of camera to "AV." Press the ISO button on the back of the camera and, using the command wheel located just behind the shutter release, adjust the ISO to 400.
3. Set the lens aperture to f5.6 by rotating the command wheel. You can view the lens aperture by looking through the viewfinder or looking at the top LCD (Liquid Crystal Screen) on the back of the camera.
4. Hold the camera to your eye, compose a picture and press the shutter release button halfway down. This will make the camera focus on the subject and set the shutter speed to match the aperture setting you have selected. Check to see that the shutter speed is at 1/125 of a second. This speed or anything faster is a good speed for handheld photography. If the shutter speed is less than 1/125, consider using a tripod or hold the camera very still when shooting.
5. Press the shutter release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.
