Using the EOS Rebel XS/1000D
Lens controls
All Canon lenses provide both automatic
and manual focusing functionality through
the AF/MF (Autofocus/Manual Focus) switch
on the side of the lens. If you choose MF,
the XS/1000D provides focus assist, shown
in the viewfi nder, to confi rm sharp focus.
When sharp focus is achieved, the Focus
confi rmation light in the viewfi nder burns
steadily and the camera emits a focus con-
fi rmation beep if the beep is turned on.
Depending on the lens, additional controls
may include the following:
✦
Focusing distance range selection
switch.
This switch determines and
limits the range that the lens uses
when seeking focus to speed up
autofocusing. The focusing-distance
range options vary by lens.
✦
Image stabilizer switch.
This
switch turns Optical Image
Stabilization on or off . Optical
To ensure that the viewfi nder image and
focusing screen elements are adjusted for
your vision, you can adjust the diopter set-
ting from -3 to +1 dpt. To set the dioptric
adjustment, focus the lens by pressing the
Shutter button halfway, and then turning
the diopter switch — located to the right of
the viewfi nder eyecup — until the image in
the viewfi nder is sharp. If you wear eye-
glasses during shooting, be sure to wear
them as you set the dioptric adjustment.
