  • Page 3: Overview

    I. OVERVIEW The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi is the best entry-level digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera on the market today. Compared with its competitors at the sub-$1000 price point, lens included, the XTi produces the finest images with the purest colors and the lowest noise, and has the most comprehensive solution to the problem of dust on the sensor.
  • Page 4 • The Digital Rebel XTi has a 9-point, high-precision autofocus unit that it shares with the EOS 30D. The central sensor of the AF unit enhances precision with f/2.8 or faster lenses, a professional feature exclusive to the XTi in its category.

  • Page 5: New And Improved Features

    • New class-leading 10.1 megapixel Canon CMOS image sensor with improved microlens array • Comprehensive EOS Integrated Cleaning System including Self Cleaning Sensor Unit and Dust Delete Data detection • Large and bright 2.5 inch, 230,000 pixel LCD screen with wide viewing angle •...

  • Page 6: Feature Discussion

    6.4 µm square. Several improved technologies help the XTi to continue the Canon tradition of offering a wide range of ISO settings (100-1600), all of which are highly usable and characterized by very low noise despite the smaller pixel size that is a function of higher resolution.

  • Page 7: Comprehensive Dust Reduction System

    As in the case of the Canon EOS 5D, low-pass fil- ter #2 also serves as the CMOS sensor package's cover glass, eliminating a relatively expensive glass cover and reducing cost.
  • Page 8 The removed dust then sticks to an absorbent material ringing the low-pass filter. The sensor unit also has an internal O-ring around the perimeter to keep out dust. The area between LPF #1 and the CMOS sensor is thus sealed; dust cannot enter from the side. Instead of a dust-removal system which uses a vibrating glass, the Digital Rebel XTi uses its low-pass filter to vibrate directly, shaking off dust.
  • Page 9 operation. Also, if the self-cleaning unit is operated 5 consecutive times within 10 sec., it will not work for 10 sec. afterward. Turning the power off does not reset this. The restriction does reset if the cleaning function is not activated for at least 60 sec- onds.

  • Page 10: New 9-Point Af System

    Therefore, cross-type focusing is possible with any EF lens. The center AF point's horizontal-line sensitive sensor for f/5.6 has a two-line, zigzag pattern. This redundancy of focusing methods makes focus detection more consistent. As in the case of the EOS 30D, fine-tuning has been incorporated to improve the AF precision. Focusing perform- ance under low light has been improved by 1 stop and is now possible from EV -0.5 to...
  • Page 11 AF points in and around the center afford improved subject focus tracking. Focusing speed is on a par with that of the EOS 30D because the Digital Rebel XTi shares its high-speed 32-bit RISC microcomputer. The algorithm for AI SERVO AF contin- uous shooting has been fine-tuned and optimized for 3 frames per second.

    40% higher than the maximum brightness of the screens found on the EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS 5D, and 30D. This makes it easier to review images even in bright outdoor conditions. At the darkest setting, the display is not uncom- fortably bright, even in a dark place.

  • Page 14: New User Interface

    New User Interface Basic operation concept The new user interface of the Canon Digital Rebel XTi takes advantage of the state-of- the-art, large, bright and sharp LCD screen to offer a faster, easier and more precise way to operate the camera. The basic operation procedure of using the main dial, cross keys, and various buttons to select and set functions is the same as with the Digital Rebel XT.

  • Page 15: New Info Display Items

    A change to the info display is that the battery power remaining indicator now has 4 levels, rather than 3. The EOS 30D also offers this useful feature. Viewfinder The viewfinder has two additions, both brought from the EOS 30D: an FE lock indicator on the left side, and white balance adjustment, +/-, on the right.

    AF mode, white balance, and metering mode. The procedures to set the ISO speed, AF mode, white bal- ance, and metering mode are the same as with the Canon EOS 30D. Settings take effect from the moment they are selected.

  • Page 17: Picture Style

    Picture Style Picture Style, which Canon is implementing across its full EOS Digital range, is new to the sub-$1000 category. It can be selected directly with the SET button, or through Shooting menu 2. For the first 5 choices, Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral and Faithful, the variables are sharpness, contrast, saturation and color tone.

  • Page 18: Direct Image Transfer

    The menu therefore no longer has the Communication setting. Direct Image Transfer As with the EOS 30D, images shot with the Digital Rebel XTi can be transferred directly to a Mac or Windows computer just by connecting the camera to a PC using interface cable IFC-400PCU (included), selecting [EOS Utility] in the dialog that appears, and beginning the transfer by pressing the SET button or the Print/Share button.

    One-Shot AF and AI SERVO AF modes), the same as the Digital Rebel XT in spite of the larger files the XTi generates. This is achieved by a number of features: the reflex mirror drive and shutter drive are controlled independently; the advanced, Canon- designed and -manufactured CMOS sensor enables high-speed signal reading, and the DIGIC II image processor performs high-speed image processing.
