How to operate the 2 step shutter button on the EOS Digital Rebel XTi.
Solution
The shutter button has two stages. You can press it down halfway or fully. The two levels of shutter button operation are as follows:
 |
Halfway
Pressing the shutter button down halfway activates autofocusing (AF), and also activates the automatic exposure (AE) mechanism and sets the shutter speed and aperture value.
The exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture value) appears on the LCD panel and in the viewfinder ( 4).

 |
Full
This releases the shutter and shoots.

-
Camera movement during the moment of exposure is called camera shake. Camera shake can cause blurred pictures. To prevent blurred pictures due to camera shake:
- Hold the camera steady.
- Use your finger tip to touch the shutter button, grasp the camera with your entire right hand, then press the shutter button gently.
- No matter what state the camera is in (image playback, menu operation, image recording, etc., except during direct printing), pressing the shutter button halfway will instantly make it ready for shooting.
