Picture Quality / Size Options
The Rebel XT is compliant with Exif 2.21 and Design rule for Camera File System, recording in both JPEG and RAW (CR2) formats. Images are defined by continuously numbered folders that can be automatically set or reset. JPEG images can be recorded in 3 selectable image sizes with multiple quality settings available for each aspect ratio:
- 3456 x 2304: Large-Fine (3.3 MB); Large-Normal (1.7 MB)
- 2496 x 1664: Medium-Fine (2.0 MB); Medium-Normal (1.0 MB)
- 1728 x 1152: Small-Fine (1.2 MB); Small-Normal (0.6 MB)
RAW images can be recorded at full 3456 x 2304-pixel resolution, translating to 8.3MB images.
Picture Effects Mode
For users who render image alterations during shooting, image-processing parameters are included within the XT’s menu. Waiting and applying image transformations in postproduction using external software is suggested, but users who value immediacy will enjoy the inclusion of standard image and custom processing parameters. For those hopeful enthusiasts who shoot digital black and white images, monochromatic tonality can be recorded with the XT and while I’m personally not an advocate of it, I have seen far worse attempts made by other models.
