The zoomed playback option is an area where the D improves greatly on the performance of the 10D. The D's image playback can be zoomed in very small steps anywhere from 1.
Once you've zoomed in at any level, you can scroll the zoomed window all around the image area, using the rear-panel arrow keys. The scroll frame-by-frame at the magnified view is the same on both cameras. Once you've dialed in the magnification and scrolling parameters, you can go to the next or previous image by turning the main dial next to the shutter button.
Another feature deserving comment is the D's separation of the autoexposure and autofocus lock functions. In consumer-level digicams, half-pressing the Shutter button locks exposure and focus simultaneously. You can use this to deal with an off-center subject by pointing the camera at the subject, locking exposure and focus, and then reframing the picture before finally snapping the shutter. The only problem is that you sometimes need to perform a more radical recomposition of the subject in order to determine the proper exposure.
For instance, you may want to zoom in on the subject, grab an exposure setting, and then zoom back out before taking the picture. Situations like that require locking the exposure independently of the focusing, and the D provides for just such eventualities by way of a separate AE lock button on the back of the camera, right under your right thumb. A very handy feature indeed, for those times you need it.
The Custom setting bases color balance on a previous exposure, meaning you can snap an image of a white card and then base the color temperature on that image. A White Balance bracketing option snaps only one image, then writes 3 successive files from that single image. The two new preset parameters are Parameter 1 and Parameter 2. Parameter 2 sets up the camera to perform much like the 10D at its default settings, with contrast, sharpness, saturation, and color tone controls all at their neutral positions.
Metering accuracy and bias I found that the Digital Rebel's exposure system frequently underexposed shots relative to what my personal preferences would have been for a given scene. Looking at the images I captured, it seemed that the camera reacted very strongly to high-key subjects and strong highlights in otherwise well-balanced scenes. This is technically the most correct approach to take, and is the one preferred by most professional photographers, but I think is poorly suited to the needs and desires of most amateur shooters.
The idea is that it's most important to preserve detail in the highlights of the images, since once detail is lost to overexposure there, it's gone forever. Dark midtones and shadows can always be fixed on a computer after the fact, albeit at the cost of somewhat elevated image noise levels. Given that Canon is aiming the Digital Rebel at a more consumer-oriented audience though, and particularly given that they're pitching direct-from-camera printing as a primary feature, I think they should really reconsider the Digital Rebel's exposure system settings.
In my experience, the average consumer is much more concerned with how their midtones look, as opposed to detail in the highlights.
Even many "enthusiast" shooters prefer images in which the overall level of brightness matches what they saw in the scene, regardless of whether that means losing some detail in the highlights. On the D, this problem is exacerbated by Canon's decision to boost the default contrast level relative to that of the 10D. With the resulting steep tone curve, underexposing to save highlight detail results in even darker midtones and shadows than would otherwise be the case.
While you can certainly adjust the exposure compensation setting to correct for this tendency, that's tedious, and I often found it difficult to predict how the camera would respond to a given scene.
At this late date, it's probably too much to hope for that Canon will fix the D's exposure system before production models hit the streets, but I hope nonetheless. Normally, exposure times are limited to a maximum of 30 seconds in Aperture- or Shutter-Priority modes, but in Manual mode, you can expose for as long as 2.
Obviously, 2. Still though, the D seems quite able to take very long exposures with very little image noise resulting. Like the D60 and 10D, the D employs noise reduction algorithms that automatically reduce excess image noise from long exposures. A full discussion of image sensor noise is beyond the scope of this review, but the simple story is that the most obvious and objectionable noise you'll see in long digicam exposures is so-called "fixed pattern" noise, caused by variations in "dark current" between sensor pixels.
Current a signal appears even when the sensor isn't being exposed to light. When you look at a long time exposure shot with a digital camera, you'll often see very bright pixels, where minor manufacturing defects have resulted in unusually high "dark current" levels.
Often called "hot pixels," these flecks of color are very distracting visually. The normal way to deal with hot pixels is to take an exposure with the camera's shutter closed, immediately after shooting the subject. If this "dark frame" is exposed for the same time as the subject was, you can largely eliminate the hot pixel problem by subtracting the dark frame information from the actual exposure. In practice, this works fairly well, but has the disadvantage that you have to wait for the dark frame exposure to be taken, requiring an appreciable amount of time in the case of long time exposures.
Or, if you have a commercially-available CF card reader that can read the CF card, use it to transfer the images in the card to a personal computer. Page Direct Printing From The Camera Direct Printing from the Camera By using the dedicated cable to connect the camera to a Canon printer optional compatible with direct printing, you can easily print images directly from the camera.
The direct printing operation is all done with Set up the printer. Connect the camera to the printer. Page Indicates that a card photo printer is connected. You do all the printing operations with the camera. Images in the h format cannot be printed directly from the camera. Connected printer icon Print setting screen Trimming frame: Appears when you want to trim the image. Page Select [Style]. Print the image. With the [Image] setting, you can print one image on one sheet or eight identical, smaller images on one sheet.

Before starting, you must first set the [Style] settings. The button toggles between the vertical and horizontal image orientation. For example, a horizontal shot can be printed as a vertical shot. Page Printing Stopping the Printing When Stopping the Printing With a card photo printer: If only one print is being printed, you cannot stop the printing.
If multiple prints are being printed, the printing will stop after the current print is finished printing. The printing options give you a choice of making an index print multiple, thumbnail images on one print , inserting the date, and inserting the image file No. The printing options will apply to all the images selected for printing. Page Select the set up option. The set up screen will appear. Exit the set up screen. See the table below. Page Selecting Individual Images When the print type is [Standard] or [Both], you can set the number of copies to be printed for each standard-type print.
If [Index] is set, you can either include or not include the image to the index print. Select [Order]. Indication when [Index] is set. Set the print settings. For standard-type prints, only a single print will be available for each image. Printing style settings Connect the camera to the printer. If two or more prints are being printed, the printing will stop with the next print. With BJ printers: The printing will stop and the paper being printed will be discharged.
