DIGIC III image processor Developed to maximize performance between the
capture and recording stages of digital photography, the EOS Rebel
XSi’s latest-generation DIGIC III Image Processor works in
concert with Canon’s CMOS sensor to achieve even higher
levels of performance. The entire electronic system is totally
redesigned, giving the camera its incredible combination of speed and
image quality. Digital noise is significantly reduced in shadow areas,
and color reproduction is superior.
Speedy, Precise Operation
Excellent performance with 3.5 fps continuous shooting, up to 53
full-resolution JPEGs or 6 RAW images in a burst The EOS Rebel XSi
operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of
intuitive. With instant startup times, speedy autofocus and minimal
shutter lag, the EOS Rebel XSi is one of the fastest cameras available
today. It can shoot up to 3.5 frames per second, in bursts of 53 JPEGs
or 6 RAW files, so you’ll never, ever, miss a shot.
See the image in large LCD with Live View Function The EOS Rebel XSi
has a huge, bright 3.0-inch TFT LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a
viewing angle of 170 degrees. It’s perfect for Live View
composition or viewing camera settings like AF, ISO, Metering, AF Point
selection and flash options. And the maximum brightness of the EOS
Rebel XSi LCD monitor is about 30-percent greater than its predecessor,
which is a big benefit when you're using the camera in bright sunlight.
Live View Function Live View Function enables you to view your subjects
directly on the huge 3.0-inch LCD monitor. It's easy to magnify any
part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focus. And now, there
are two ways to use Autofocus along with Live View Function in the EOS
Rebel XSi. You can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for keeping
straight lines in your subject straight in your pictures. In the
studio, Live View Function can be used remotely via a computer through
the EOS Rebel XSi’s USB connection.
Fast 9-point AF system, and two types of AF during Live View Function
The EOS Rebel XSi has a high-precision 9-point wide area AF sensor for
fast, accurate focus even in dim lighting. It has a number of focus
modes, including One-Shot AF, AI Focus AF, AI Servo AF and Manual. In
Live View Function, the EOS Rebel XSi has two AF modes: Quick mode,
which uses the camera's standard 9-point AF system, and Live mode,
which is a contrast-based AF system that reads the sharpness of
subjects right from the imaging sensor, and can be overridden by
pressing the AF mode selection button. A familiar feature in PowerShot
cameras, Live mode AF uses similar technologies to achieve focus, while
Quick mode is more appropriate for capturing action or for shooting in
low light.
Compatible with compact SD and SDHC memory cards The EOS Rebel XSi is
the first EOS Digital SLR camera to use popular SD and SDHC memory
cards only. Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large
capacities, SD and SDHC memory cards are a perfect complement to the
EOS Rebel XSi’s compact and lightweight body design.
Advanced Features for
Advanced Photography
New advanced features include spot metering, external flash settings on
the camera’s menu, and a new higher-magnification viewfinder
The EOS Rebel XSi’s 35-zone evaluative metering system with
improved white balance analyzes light based on each zone in the viewing
area, enabling the camera to choose the overall best exposure for the
entire scene. It now features a spot meter, which reads a tiny area
(about 4 percent) of the picture for extremely precise metering. It
also provides Center-weighted average metering and partial metering for
accurate exposure no matter the situation. The EOS Rebel XSi also has
an improved, high magnification viewfinder that provides a larger
overall view, and increased brightness and clarity. And the EOS Rebel
XSi has a Display-Off sensor that automatically turns the LCD monitor
off whenever the camera is at the photographer's eye. All relevant
shooting information, including ISO, is displayed right in the
viewfinder so it’s easy to change settings without moving the
camera away from the eye.
EOS Integrated Cleaning
System Photographers who must change lenses in dusty
environments will find the advanced Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning
System a tremendous time saver. Dust that settles on the 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.) A special collar positioned
around the sensor collects the loosened dust. Dust particles can also
be automatically removed via software. By shooting a plain white
subject, the photographer can acquire dust position data that is
transmitted along with the image (whether JPEG or RAW). Canon Digital
Photo Professional (DPP) version 3.3 or later software can be used to
manually or automatically erase the dust spots. It's not one feature,
it's a built-in system to minimize the effect of dust in
high-resolution digital images.
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
A key element of minimizing dust is preventing it from
clinging to the front surface of the imaging sensor. To combat against
this, the EOS Rebel XSi features a Canon-designed Self Cleaning Sensor
Unit. The low-pass filter at the front of the sensor shakes off dust
automatically with ultrasonic vibrations, removing dust from the sensor
assembly. The EOS Rebel XSi has a new coating on the front surface of
the low-pass filter, to increase its resistance to dust sticking to the
sensor.
Dust Delete Data Detection
Dust that may still remain on the front of the sensor can also be
erased with software included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP)
Version 3.3 or later software. A simple test shot of a plain, white
object can be taken, using a menu setting. This Dust Delete Data image
is analyzed in-camera, and the location and size of any remaining dust
is added to any subsequent pictures taken. This data is transmitted
along with the image, whether JPEG or RAW, and can be either manually
or automatically erased in Canon’s DPP version 3.3 and later
software. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible
image, perfect for printing or archiving.
Picture Style settings With
the EOS Rebel XSi’s Picture Style technology, photographers
can change the look of their digital photographs. Color, saturation,
sharpness and contrast settings create noticeable variation in the
saved image. Changing a Picture Style setting is almost like a 35mm
film user switching from one type of color film to another. In addition
to six preset Picture Style settings, Canon offers additional
downloadable "Picture Style Files," that can be installed into your
camera for even more imaging options at your fingertips.
Highlight Tone Priority This vital Custom Function lets photographers
get even better detail in bright highlights, even in contrasty lighting
conditions. It’s beneficial for nearly any type of picture,
from mid-day shots on a safari to portraits in sunlight, where a user
may encounter bright highlight areas where he or she wants to preserve
details. Finally, there’s no impact on the camera’s
shooting speed or burst rate when Highlight Tone Priority is engaged.
It takes full advantage of the EOS Rebel XSi's new 14-bit per channel
conversion, meaning there are 16,384 distinct colors from darkest to
lightest in each color channel.
Shooting and Sharing Made
Easy
Includes EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Image Stabilizer lens The Canon EF-S
18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens features the wide-angle to mid-range
zoom flexibility of its non-IS predecessor with the significant
advantage of Canon's true optical, lens-shift image stabilization
system that yields up to a full four stops of image-shake correction.
Fully compatible with over 60 EF/EF-S Lenses and a wide range of EOS
System accessories EOS Rebel XSi is compatible with all Canon lenses in
the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super
telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and
micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in
all facets of the photographic process. Special optical technologies,
such as Aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, or fluorite elements are
featured in the universally acclaimed L Series lenses, and Canon's
Optical Image Stabilizer technology are featured in select lenses to
minimize the effect of camera shake. Through Canon lenses,
photographers can truly maximize the quality and liberating performance
of the EOS Rebel XSi.
Flash Photography
The EOS Rebel XSi features the acclaimed E-TTL II flash metering
system. With any of the flashes in the EX Speedlite line, E-TTL II
provides reliable flash output whether shooting fill-in flash pictures
in sunlight, or using flash in total darkness. With E-TTL II, the exact
same 35-zone metering sensor used for measuring ambient light is also
used for flash metering -- giving even finer metering command of the
image area. If you prefer a broader area for flash metering, there's a
menu setting to change to "Average" flash metering, where the entire
35-zone area is measured evenly for flash exposure.
The Canon Speedlite 430EX is the ideal step-up accessory for powerful
flash shooting with the EOS Rebel XSi. It has excellent flash power
(maximum guide number of 141 ft./43m at ISO 100), and is the perfect
way to get great flash pictures when you can't get right up to the
subject. The 430EX is also great for bounce flash, with its tilting and
swiveling flash head. It automatically zooms the flash head to cover
lenses ranging from 16mm up to 105mm or longer with the EOS Rebel XSi.
Of course, it works with the camera to provide full E-TTL II automatic
flash exposure. And the 430EX has a powerful AF-assist beam, which
allows the camera to autofocus even in total darkness on subjects as
far as 32 ft. from the camera.
Included Software
Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk (Version 17.0) The EOS Rebel XSi comes
bundled with an updated Canon EOS Digital Solution Disk, which features

layout and printing in Adobe RGB in conjunction with Easy-PhotoPrint
and PictBridge printers. It also features the Dust Delete Data
Detection tool for cleaner images.
EOS Utility (Version 2.3) for Macintosh or Windows handles the
connection between the camera and computer, whenever they’re
connected via USB. It allows remote controlled shooting from the
computer, handles downloading of images from the camera to the
computer, and allows seamless linking to either Canon’s
ZoomBrowser/ImageBrowser or Digital Photo Professional software once
images have been copied to the hard drive. Furthermore, it’s
used to upload settings back into a USB-connected camera.
ZoomBrowser EX (Version 6.1) for Windows and ImageBrowser (Version 6.1)
for Mac OS X are the easy, user-friendly options for viewing and
editing of JPEG and even RAW image files. Both allow viewing of
numerous types of images including finished TIFF and BMP files. Both
also have a variety of search options for finding images, allow
re-naming of single images or batches of files, and offer a variety of
options for printing without using a separate image-editing program.
