Canon 400D Rebel XTI User Guide

[alxkohn]

I mame across a GREAT deal on a CANON XTI outfit for a super price!, MY issue was viewing subject matter in the REAR display screen as well as through the prism finder., I was pleasantly surprised that the XTI requires a FLASH CARD instead of an SD card,, indicative of upper -end DSLR's

Hey, I just got this camera and am trying to figure it all out. Is there a 400 and a 400D model? In the manual and in your video it shows in the menu a "camera icon 1" and a "Camera icon 2". I only seem to show just the one. Also, I do not have the Raw option which you talked about. Not sure if I'm missing something simple. Thanks.

[seleneluvsbrandon]

why doesn't my camera have the raw mode? I have the exact same camera but the raw mode is not there. Thank you for posting this it was very helpful.

Thanks for that big help

it wud be better if you speak louder, you are the only one who can hear of what you were saying.

[pokerjk]

@shanefever2004 I'm sorry you could not hear but this is the first complaint I recieved. Might sound simple but did you turn your speakers up?

[picaticatara]

@pokerjk the music at the end scare me

Whats up. I bought my Digital Canon KIss X/ 400 D in 2009 while in Korea and I was wondering if you know a way to easily clean the (inside) view finder thing.... It's like a white screen just inside the veiw finder. It's ridiculously annoying. I'm just starting out with this. Thanks for the vids.

[pokerjk]

@jmonie02 For removing dust or other minute particles get yourself a can of compressed air, it works wonders.

[davoriosgirl]

i followed your construction and it was very helpful thanks so much

[missladibby]

When i go to take a picture it acts like it took it just like yours did in this video but when i go to display the picture it doesnt show?

[pokerjk]

@missladibby You probably don't have a memory card inserted :)

[KillaCal]

can you record video with this camera?

[pokerjk]

@KillaCal You can't with the Canon 400D, I believe in the xxx range it is the Canon 500D you would need to record video.

[hpdka]

why does this video stop at 9:00? 

[pokerjk]

@hpdka No problem here, check your connection.

[fastcater85]

is there a way to turn the desplay screen on while taking a picture

[pokerjk]

@fastcater85 the reason this happens is because the camera has a sensor that turns off the screen when you put your face near the prism. This is to stop any miscalculation in exposure.

[marraslp]

@fastcater85 i think there isn't.... I've been searching for that live mode too....

[myPETsnailFRED]

can you make a tutorial on hdr photos?

[pokerjk]

@myPETsnailFRED

Shall be adding one to my blog shortly about different techniques including HDR.

hey i just bought a canon rebel xs.. and it says no card.. after i take pictures.. i haven't put a memory card yet.. i still need to buy it.. doesn't it have any memory on its own??? like for a few pics like other digi cams??

[pokerjk]

Im afraid it does not have any built in memory.

Best to get a memory card quickly :)

[RCAFchicky]

No it doesnt. When I got mine I thought the same thing, but it has no internal memory

[pokerjk]

Glad it helped you out :)

Also thanks for taking a look at my gallery.

[Imanxfaithx]

Thanks Jamie! Even though iv had my Canon 400D for over a year now, lol the basic guide u showed was very helpful! However I have along way to go to better my photos! I just checked out ur gallery, ur photos are amazing, well done!! The sky in the Cardiff Harbour image is beyond words!!

[pokerjk]

The Canon 400D does not have live view available I'm afraid.

Jamie

[stinabinasaur]

hey how do i get it to be on live view?

[pokerjk]

Once you are comfortable with ISO, Shutter speed and aperture settings manual would be.

Other wise I would use aperture priority. With a average f number (f8-f11) so everyone is in focus. Make sure the shutter speed is less than 1/60th of second for minimal camera shake (unless using a tripod). If it is longer than that higher the ISO a little.

Or auto..

Hope that helps you.

[mcadam194]

hey thank you for this helpfull video, could you please tell me what is the best mode or setting to be used indoor for taking a picture of many people at the same time???

Thank you in advance,,

[pablix809]

about the the RAW thing , it is better to have it that way ?????????

[pokerjk]

It is for the majority of situations.

[pablix809]

is this one rebel xti cuz i have one , and it doesnt say 400d

?????

[pokerjk]

The XTI is referred to as many names. Primarily the 400D in America Rebel XTI and in Japan Kiss Digital X

[UnseenSpirit]

hi. any idea what mode to use when doing a night time landscape shot? do i use the flash or take it off? for example if i wanted a nice shot of big ben

[pokerjk]

For this no flash and you will need a fairly long exposure.

If you don't want to use manual mode use P mode. This well set the exposure and aperture for you according to the lighting. If you want more in focus you will have to have a lower fstop number which means higher actual number as they are the opposite, but this will results in longer exposure. You will need a tripod for best results.

Hope that helps,

Jamie
