Cautions
Remarks
[Flash]
11. With EOS-dedicated Speedlites other than the EX-
series, autoflash is not possible.
This camera it does not have a flash exposure sensor
compatible with A-TTL/TTL.
(The flash will not fire in the A-TTL/TTL autoflash mode.
Use the manual flash mode instead. EOS-dedicated
Speedlites not having a manual flash mode and wired,
multi-Speedlite accessories cannot be used.)
12. When using the Landscape or Sports mode, do not
use an EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite.
The flash would fire at all times and the photo might not
come out as you desire.
13. When using the built-in flash, detach any lens hood
from the lens.
This is to prevent flash coverage cut-off.
14. Do not connect a high-voltage flash unit to the hot
shoe.
It may not fire.
[Custom Functions]
15. With C.Fn-7-1 (mirror lockup) set, do not point the
camera toward the sun or any bright light source.
Doing so can damage the shutter curtains, cause stray
light to enter, or damage the imaging sensor.
[Camera Direct]
16. When printing via BJ Direct with borders enabled
and date imprinted, the date is imprinted on the
border.
The problem lies with the BJ printer. Does not occur
with CP printers.
(BJ Direct is set to imprint the date within the image
area of an image having a 4:3 ratio produced by a
PowerShot camera. So printing an EOS digital camera's
3:2 ratio image having a shorter vertical dimension will
make the date fall on the border. The same problem
occurs with DPOF.)
17. When printing via CP Direct with the date imprinted,
the imprinted date looks light if the image
background is light or if it falls on the border.
The problem lies with the CP printer.
[Interface]
18. Do not excessively bend or disassemble the
interfaceable.
Malfunction may result due to cable disconnection or
short-circuiting.
19. Before displaying captured images on a TV monitor,
check whether it uses the NTSC or PAL system.
If the TV monitor uses a different system, the images
will not be displayed properly.
(The default setting is NTSC for the Japan and N.
America, and PAL for other countries.)
20. When the EOS D REBEL XTI / EOS 400D D is connected
to a TV set and the pictures are displayed, part of
the image is hidden.
Caused by the TV screen display design.
[LCD Monitor]
21. When the LCD monitor is on, there might be black,
red, or green dots that are always visible.
These are dead pixels which number 0.02% or less of
the LCD monitor's total number of effective pixels. The
recorded images are not affected.
22. Do not press on the LCD monitor with your fingers
or subject it to strong vibration or physical shock.
Doing so may result uneven color or break of the LCD
monitor.
[Camera & Misc.]
23. There is a small noise when the camera is shaken.
This is the sound of the ball in the camera
orientation detection unit.
