my fault, my english ain’t that perfect. I think there is no meaning for “objective cab” in english
. Of course…. Lens cap.

@ShizzlaNo1 thanx buddy!!!, but can i ask, whats the objective cab?
February 21st, 2010 - 20:14
Hi Monkey ! I got the EOS 450D and i tested it. I leaved the Objective cab on my camera and the auto ISO went up to 800 ! So i aint got any problems with that.

hi, can anyone help me: on canons website it says the 450d has an auto-iso of 100-400, but the 1000d has 100-800. i know on both u can manually go higher but surely thats a big problem with the 450d for it not to go automatically to 800?? also whats the auto ISO of the d3000. thhhhaaaankkks

@MrJacobFennell
Live View is a great feature to have just in case you need it for some reason. I thought I would be using it a lot but in fact I’ve hardly ever used Live View lol
February 21st, 2010 - 21:59
Some people say that having the Live View is stupid for an slr, but i think its a really good idea. I like having the option.
February 21st, 2010 - 22:31
very helpful! thank you! =)
February 21st, 2010 - 23:16
no, but you can make some kinda “hack” where you just get the live view @ the Computer and then you can record it. It’s not HD but very good quality.

@tehDL I wiil dude, thanks for advice.
February 22nd, 2010 - 00:19
It sort of makes a dry scraping noise, its just a crappy mechanism. Try an expensive lens out and you’ll feel the difference.
February 22nd, 2010 - 01:16
@tehDL
Does yours make the dusty sound too. Do you think its actually dust or just something with the seal or something?
February 22nd, 2010 - 02:12
@brokenchopstickz NO..but the T1i does which is the next one up
February 22nd, 2010 - 02:47
you have to get into custom function (C. Fn) to do some setting first. Going to Custom Function (C. Fn) select Function 8 (auto focus) and turn on the mode by choosing one of them 1. is the quick mode which will do the same thing he showed at 3:50. Choosing 2 will do what he showed after 6:30
February 22nd, 2010 - 02:53
Someone help please? I’m trying to copy what he does at 3:50 but i’m encountering problems.
1. I dont have the two ‘squares’ that he has on the live view,only one,why is this?
2. he says to press the AE AF button in the top right of the body, I press the AE button and nothing happens? As for the AF button,the only one i can find is on the lens itself,which is switched on? This is frustrating as it stays out of focus, please help cameralabs?

@brokenchopstickz Nope!
February 22nd, 2010 - 04:11
does it take HD videos? jus curious!
February 22nd, 2010 - 04:40
this is part was very helpful 3:35 about the live view thanks!
February 22nd, 2010 - 04:49
mine does that too, its just part of having a cheap lens… Not smooth..
February 22nd, 2010 - 05:39
@humberto0984646
The Auto Focus button you will find in the lens with two settings namely AF/MF
AF – Auto
MF – Manual
February 22nd, 2010 - 06:22
yeah, and physically, if we take a good look at the “rebel” sticker in the camera body, it kinda destroys the already great and simple aesthetics of the camera.
February 22nd, 2010 - 06:38
wheres the auto focus button? i can’t find it?
February 22nd, 2010 - 06:57
I agree, it is annoying. I think they do it for the very popular models to identify their country of origin. So if you’re in the UK and you see an XSi for sale, you know it’s an import.
February 22nd, 2010 - 07:21
why would these great entry-level dslrs be named differently in some places? why “rebel X—”? wouldn’t it be great to just call these cameras by their well-known “—D” names?

Hi Gordon I have recently bought this camera and it is fantastic for what I want.
However I have noticed that when I turn the zoom ring of the 18-55mm IS Kit lens it makes a mild grinding noise presumably because of trapped dust.
I was wondering whether you know of any way I can get it out without, rather than having to send it away to Canon.
