Chapter 1: Exploring the Canon EOS Rebel T5i/700D
The 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 viewfinder, 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.
