Features
Overview: This Canon SLR kit includes the EOS Rebel T1i camera
body and the EFS 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens. In addition to still photos, the
T1i also records motion video in high definition, up to 1920 x 1080. The T1i records
images on an SD or SDHC memory card (No memory card is supplied with the camera).
Movie Mode: In addition to still photos, the Rebel T1i records
video in HD (High Definition) or SD (Standard Definition). Select Movie mode on
the mode dial and the camera's 3.0-inch LCD lights up and is ready to go. Video
is recorded at a frame rate of 30 fps when shooting in 640 x 480 (SD) and 1280
x 720 (HD) pixels, and at 20 fps in 1920 x 1080 (HD) pixels. Sound is recorded
through the camera's built-in microphone. Playback modes are simple to access,
and all Live View AF features can be used when shooting video. HD video is
output through the mini-HDMI jack.
Viewfinder: The Canon EOS Rebel T1i uses an eye-level
pentamirror viewfinder with 0.87x magnification and approximately 95% vertical
and horizontal coverage. It has a diopter adjustment so you can focus the
viewfinder to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses). If your eye
doesn't cover the viewfinder when a picture is taken (using Live View or the
timer), stray light can enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the
image is captured. To prevent this, use the supplied eyepiece cover (attached
to the neck strap) to cover the eyepiece.
Clear View LCD Monitor: The 3" Clear View TFT color
LCD monitor has approximately 920,000 dots. On the LCD you can view menu
screens, stored files, and frame new images in real-time. The LCD monitor
offers 100% viewing coverage and 7 brightness levels to choose from.
Live View: The Live View Function enables viewing your
subjects directly on the camera's 3" LCD monitor. The camera allows you
to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focusing. You
can access a number of Auto Focusing modes including Quick Mode, Live Mode,
and Face Detection AF. Exposure simulation displays and simulates how the
brightness of the actual image will look. You can choose one of two grid
overlay options for the LCD screen to help you line up vertical and horizontal
lines. In a Studio, the camera can be controlled remotely via a computer through
a USB connection while the frame is displayed in the computer screen.
Note: Live View shooting does
not work when the camera is in one of the Basic
Zone modes.
15.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor: Canon's large-area CMOS
(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor captures images with
exceptional clarity and tonal range. It has approximately 15.5 million
total pixels and 15.1 million effective pixels. This APS-C sized sensor
(22.3mm x 14.9mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an
effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length.
DIGIC 4 Image Processor: The next generation DIGIC 4 Image
Processor uses advanced signal processing technologies to provide faster operations
and write times to the memory card. The chip also enables Face Detection Live
mode to detect and focus on multiple faces, while the Auto Lighting Optimizer
corrects brightness and contrast automatically.
14-Bit A/D Conversion: 14-bit A/D (analog-to-digital)
conversion means extremely fine tonal gradations from light to dark tones,
and a significant drop in digital and shadow noise.
Image Recording Format: The camera records 3:2 still images
in JPEG and RAW (14-bit) formats. Motion video is captured in 16:9 (HD) or 4:3
(640 x 480) aspect ratios.
JPEG Image Resolution/Compression: You can choose from three
JPEG resolutions: Large (4752 x 3168 pixels), Medium (3456 x 2304 pixels), and
Small (2352 x 1568 pixels). For each resolution, you can set the compression to
Fine or Normal.
RAW File Format: The RAW file format records the image data
as captured by the camera's CMOS sensor without further processing and converts
it to digital data and records it onto the card as is. RAW images can be adjusted,
then developed and produced into JPEG or TIFF images using the provided software.
The RAW resolution is 4752 x 3168 and a Large/Fine JPEG image can be stored along
with a RAW image simultaneously.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System: Dust that settles on the
camera's sensor surface is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This Self Cleaning
Sensor Unit routine is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on
or off; it can also be manually activated. If visible dust still remains, you can
delete the effect of the dust particles from the image via the supplied software.
Shooting Modes: The EOS Rebel T1i offers 13 different still
photo shooting modes arranged in the following zones:
- Basic Zone:

value as desired
- Automatic
Depth-of-field AE (A-DEP): this mode is for obtaining a wide depth of field
automatically between a near subject and far subject
9-point Autofocus System: The Rebel T1i has a precision
9-point AF system for speedy and accurate focusing in any situation. In the
basic shooting modes all 9 AF points are active. In the advanced shooting modes
you can easily choose your own point of focus.
AF Modes:
The camera employs one of 3 AF systems to let you seize every
photo opportunity with fast, accurate focus:
- One-Shot AF: suited for still
subjects, the camera focuses only once
- AI Servo AF: for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps
changing; the subject will be focused continuously while the shutter button
is pressed halfway.
- AI Focus AF: switches from
One-Shot AF to AI Servo AF automatically if the subject starts moving
ISO Speed: When shooting in
Basic Zone modes, ISO speed is automatically set between 100 and 1600 to suit the
shooting conditions. In Creative Zone modes, ISO speed may be set from 100 to 3200
in 1/3 stop increments. When ISO Expansion is turned on, you can
also select an ISO speed of 6400 or 12800.

correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting; this has
the same effect as using a color temperature conversion filter or a color
compensating filter; each color can be corrected to one of nine levels
- White Balance Auto Bracketing: with just one
shot, three images having different color tones can be recorded
simultaneously; based on the current white balance mode's standard color
temperature, the white balance setting can be changed from 0 to +/-3 stops
in whole-stop increments
Color Space: The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera,
you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal
images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes sRGB is set
automatically.
Picture

- User Defined 1-3: you can register your own style with
desired adjustments
Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used
to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look
lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure
compensation amount can be set up to +/-2 stops in 1/3-stop increments.
Auto Exposure
Bracketing: With auto exposure
bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically varies the exposure level and records
three photos; one with the set exposure, one lighter, and one darker.
AE Lock: AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of
focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining
the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted
subjects.
Bulb Exposures: When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing the
shutter button fully. Bulb is useful when a long exposure is necessary for
capturing night scenes, fireworks, the night sky, etc. Using a tripod is
recommended.
FE Lock: FE (flash
exposure) lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure reading for any part
of a subject.
Red-Eye Reduction: Using the
camera's Red-Eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture will reduce the
common phenomenon of red-eye effect.
Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:
- Evaluative Metering: the camera's standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under
backlit conditions, after detecting the main subject's position, brightness,
background, front and back lighting conditions, etc, the camera sets the proper exposure
- Partial Metering:
effective when the background is much brighter than the subject
due to backlighting, etc; uses a small area in the center
of the frame to set the exposure
- Spot Metering: for metering a specific part
of the subject
- Center-weighted Average
Metering: metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for
the entire scene
Continuous Shooting Mode: During continuous shooting mode, the camera stores
approximately 3.4 images per second. The maximum burst during continuous recording
depends on the image quality:
