Snapshot Shooting in Full Auto Mode
e Rebel XSi has full autofocus and autoexposure features that can make all of
the photographic decisions that you need to make in most situations. When in
Full Auto mode, all you have to do is frame the shot and press the shutter but-
ton, and the camera will automatically figure out just about every other relevant
setting. However, you need to know a few things to get the most out of Full Auto
mode.
On the top of the XSi, on the right side of the camera, is a Mode dial. e mode
you choose determines which functions the camera will perform automatically
and which will be left up to you. So, if you want more creative control, then you’ll
want to select a mode that offers less automation and leaves more power in your
hands.
For snapshot shooting, Full Auto mode will be your best bet and will make your
XSi function much like a simple point-and-shoot camera—but one that delivers
the superior image quality of an SLR. To select Full Auto mode, set the Mode dial
to the green box.
Set the camera’s Mode dial to the green box to select Full Auto mode.
