(2)Dust De lete Data detection
The location and size of the dustadhering to the low-pass filter is detected, and that
information is appended to the image data. The dust spots can then be removed from
the image with Digital Photo Professional Ver 2.2's auto dust deletion feature (Ver.2.1
enhanced function
of Copy Stamp tool).
The location
and size of the dustisdetected with the procedure using the [Dust Delete
Data] menu
as shown in Fig. 007. First, a picture of a solid-white, patternless object is
taken very out
of focus at a small aperture. It then takesabout 6 sec. to obtainthe Dust
Delete Data.
When
[OK] isselected in step 2 below, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will first operate,
then it
will go to the next step. The data for any dust not removed by the self-cleaning
operationis obtained.
Fig. 007 Steps to obtain the Dust De lete Data
Shooting Conditions
• Attach a 50mm or longer lens to the camera.
• Use manual focus and set it to infinity.
• Set the subject distance to 20 - 30 cm/0.7 -1.0 ft. Fill the viewfinder frame
with a solid-white, patternless objectand take the picture.
• The image data can be obtained even without a CF card installed in the camera.
When the sc reen in step 4appear s, the camera w ill be setautomatica ll y as shown
in the table bel ow :
Shootinq Mode Aperture-priority AE Ape r tu re f/22

SO Speed 800

Dr ive Mode Single
* Even if the focus mode is set to (AF), manual focus will still take effect.
* Even if a CF card is installed in the camera, the image taken for the dust deletion will notbe recorded.
The Dust Delete Data is appended to all subsequentimages until it is updated again
(via the above procedure).
It is recommended to update the Dust Delete Data before a
big shoot
or afterchanging lenses in a dusty place. Digital Photo Professional uses the
dust deletion
data to detect the location of dust. If it deems that dust deletion would be
effective, it automatically executes dust deletion at that location in the image.
Ifyou want to stop the Dust Delete Data from being appended
to the images, the Dust
Delete Data must be erased. It can be erased with the [Clear all camerasettings] menu.

The focusing screen is the same Precision Matte

as the EOS KISS DIGITAL N' s.
Compared with the EOS KISS DIGITAL N. the
viewfinder information has the following additional
information (red-eye reduction icon eliminated):
• FE lockicon (blinks during FEB shooting)
(6)Buil t- in fl as h
The built-in flash and control method are the same as
the EOS KISS DIGITAL N's.
The icon displayed for flash exposure compensation
set with the built-in flash is now different from the icon
displayed for flash exposure compensation
set with
the external Speedlite.This enables the user to know
which flash unit was used to
set the flash exposure
compensation.

This is a 2.5-in. TFT LCD ca l or monitor with about 230,000 pixels. It provides very fine
image detail
and a wide viewing ang le. With the larger LCD monitor, the text in the menus is
also bigger
and easier to read.

Instead of having a separate LCD display panel, the
EOS D REBEL XTI I EOS 400D Ddisplays the camera
settings
on the LCD monitor ina similar layout as on an
LCD panel. The settings are displayed when the camera
is turned on. As shown in Fig. 014, the camera settings
look larger
on the 2.5-in. LCD monitor, making it
easier to read than on the EOS KISS DIGITAL N. Alot of
information is also displayed. Settings like the ISO speed,
recording quality, white balance,
and other information
you need
to always check are displayed. In the Basic
Zone modes, the settings which the user cannot change
is grayed out.
(Fig. 0 15)
Cameras having a separate LCD panel always display
the essential camera settings while the camera is turned
on. So with the EOS D REBEL XTI I EOS 400D D, the
camera settings are displayed at all times whenever
possible.
Ifyou
press the shutter button halfway while viewing
a menu
or image on the LCD monitor, the camera
settings will reappear. And
as with other EOS DIGITAL
cameras, you can start shootinganytime from any
display mode.

the LCD monitor will automatically turn offafter 30 minutes. (Power will not turned off.)
*NormaUy, the camerasettings are displayed whenever the camera is turned on. To save battery power, you can
have the LCD monitor remain OFF evenafter you turn on the camera's power switch. To do this, set C.Fn - 11 [LCD
display when power ON] to [Retain power OFF status]. This setting enables the camera to startup with the same
LCD monitor status (ON / OFF) as when the power was turned off.
eL CD mo ni to r b ri ghtness
LCD monitor is now adjustable in 7 levels, one level
each expanded compared to previous models in
both
bright and dark sides. At its brightest setting, it can
display the image about 40 %brighter than at the
brightest setting of EOS-lD Mark II, 5D and 30D. It
makes it easier to review the images even in brightly
lit outdoors.
As for the darkest setting, the display is
not too bright for
your eyes to see evenin the dark.

When
your eye approaches the viewfinder
eyepiece,
the display-off sensor (Fig. 0 1 7)
detects your face and turns off the LCD
monitor automatically. This is to prevent the
LCD monitor from being too bright for the
eye. This display-off sensor can be disabled by
setting
the [LCD auto off] menu to [Disable].
General Information
The camera setting display canalso be Fig. 017 Display-off sensor
turned off and on manually with the ( DISP )
button (formerly INFO.). If the camera settingdisplay is disabled, it will be difficult to
discern whether the camera is turned on or not. Apower lamp is therefore provided to
indicate that the camera is on.

The camerasettings wiU be displayed again when the face or object goesaway from the camera.
(2)Menu display
As with the EOS KISS DIGITAL N, the tabbed menu screens are operated with the cross
keys
and SET button. Menu operation is possible even during the image writing to the CF
card after continuousshooting. Note that functions already assigned to cross keys (ISO
speed, etc.) are not included in the menus. Regarding the new and changeditems, see the
