Canon Rebel
XT
Digital cameras have made it a lot easier to take and view photos, and because of the advancements, the quantity of pictures taken has multiplied as well. With all of the pictures getting stored on cards and computers, it may get hectic trying to keep it all organized. One of the easiest ways to do this is by keeping the pictures in order from date and time. Setting the date and time on a Canon Rebel XT is very easy. By doing this, you will keep better track of the pictures you take.
Instructions
1. Charge the battery to your camera. The date and time settings will remain on the camera no matter how much you remove or lose battery power, but you do not want to get interrupted while you are changing it.
2. Turn your camera on by flipping the switch on the top of it. If your camera is already on, make sure it is active by pressing the silver button down slightly.
3. Press the "Menu" button. This button is located in the top left-hand corner of the camera, to the left of the LCD screen.
4. Use the right navigation arrow to scroll over to the third sub-menu. This menu is labeled with a wrench, hammer and the number one.
5. Press the down arrow four times to highlight the date/time options. On that option, you can view the current date and time that the camera is set to. Press the set button to enter the Date/Time menu.
6. Look at the current date and time. The month, in numerical form, will be highlighted. Adjust the month with the up and down arrows. Once you have the month you want, press the set button.
7. Scroll up and down to select the day for your camera’s settings. Press the set button and repeat this for the year.
8. Repeat the same process for the time, and be aware that the camera is automatically set for military time, so 1:00 will always be a.m., and 13:00 represents 1:00 p.m.
9. Change the format that you want to view the date in. The typical format is month/day/year, but this can be adjusted to multiple orders.
10. Press the set button to complete the changes, or the Menu button to cancel your changes.
