Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Digital SLR
Advanced Camera Direct Capabilities
Camera Direct Printing
Several useful improvements have been added to the Direct Print feature on the Digital Rebel XTi. Many of these items appeared on the EOS 30D. Beginners and advanced photographers alike will find them useful and appealing:
- Contact sheet style 35 image index printing
- Printing with shooting information
- 20 image index printing with shooting information
- Red-eye reduction function
- Face brightening correction function
- Addition of supported paper sizes (4" x 8", 10" x 12", 8" x 10", 14" x 17")
- Improved printing effects (Natural, Natural M, B/W, Cool Tone, Warm Tone added)
- Adjustment of printing parameters
- Addition of supported paper (Fine Art Photo Rag, Super Photo paper)
In the Digital Rebel XTi, when one uses a printer compatible with this feature, the USB cable can now be disconnected when the image transfer to the printer is completed, even if printing continues. Previously, early cable removal caused the printer to cancel the job. The Print/Share button's blue lamp blinks during image transfer. When the transfer is completed, the blinking stops and the USB cable can be disconnected. This change is a convenience when one is printing multiple images or if the print size is large.
For Print Order (DPOF) and Direct Image Transfer, the specifications are the same as with the EOS 30D. With the Digital Rebel XT, it was necessary to use the Communication menu when switching between direct printing and connection to a personal computer. With the Digital Rebel XTi, the PTP protocol is now the same for both, making it unnecessary to switch. 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. The choices are:
- All images
- All images stored in a CF card are transferred to the PC.
- All images not yet transferred
- Only images that haven't been transferred to the PC are automatically selected for transfer.
- Images marked for transfer
- Images designated in the menu's [Transfer order] item are transferred to the PC. In [Transfer order], you can choose either [Order] for individual images or [All] for all images. Procedures for marking images for transfer are the same as for marking individual images for DPOF. Up to 998 images can be marked.
- Select image and transfer
- Select images and transfer them to the PC.
- Wallpaper for computer
- Select an image to use as the background (wallpaper) for the computer screen and transfer it to the PC. A JPEG file is automatically converted into a BMP file to be transferred and appears as the background (wallpaper) for the computer screen. RAW images cannot be transferred for this purpose.
