The Canon Rebel XTi is a 10-megapixel digital SLR camera aimed at the entry-level SLR photographer. It has a nine-point autofocus system and 2.5-inch LCD display screen. As an earlier model, it does not have Live View shooting via the screen. However, Canon used its self-cleaning sensor on the XTi, which reduces the need for taking the camera in to have it cleaned at a service center when dust builds up on the sensor. Unlike Canon's professional D-SLRs, the XTi is designed to be friendly to the novice.
Instructions
1. Attach the lens to the camera by aligning the dots on the lens and camera body, inserting it into the camera body and rotating it clockwise. Slide the autofocus switch to "AF" on the left side of the lens.
2. Turn the mode dial on the left side of the top of the camera to "Auto" (the green square).
3. Place your eye to the viewfinder and look at the subject you want to focus. Rotate the lens barrel counterclockwise to increase the zoom and clockwise to decrease the zoom until you have the subject framed the way you want.
4. Depress the shutter halfway until you hear a beep and see the center focus dot in the viewfinder flash red. Depress the shutter to take the picture.
5. View the picture by pressing the "Play" button near the bottom of the back of the camera to the left of the LCD screen.
