Exploring the Canon
EOS Rebel T5i/700D
T
he Canon Rebel T5i/700D has many buttons and dials, and it's important that you
take the time to review each control and option at least once. You may not need
them all now, but as you become more familiar with your camera, it helps to know
what options are available. In this chapter, I cover each side of the camera to help you
understand the standard controls, as well as the viewfi nder, LCD screen, and display
options. I also review the camera exposure modes, where the tripod and connection
sockets are, and how to use the dioptric adjustment dial. Once you understand the
camera's controls, you can focus on taking photos.
Make sure you understand the function of each of the buttons on your camera.
