EOS Rebel T3i Flash

Hi I have a EOS Rebel T3i. My flash will come up but doesn't work, how do i fix this?

"t doesn't flash when we need it either. I've tried basically everything."
Except cleaning the pin which tells the camera the flash is up.

Are my cannon zoom lenses compatible to the new Cannon EOS Rebel T3i

We are thinking about buying a cannon EOS Rebel T3I and need to know if the lenses we had from our cannon EOS Rebel 2000 will work on it of do we need to purchase newer zoom lenses. We have a Cannon Zoom Lens EF 75-30mm 1:4-5.6 and a Cannon Zoom Lens EF 35-70mm 1:3.5-45 A. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, your old lenses will work with a Rebel T3i. They were designed for a 35mm film camera, and since the Rebel T3i has a sensor that is smaller than a frame of 35mm film, the effective focal length of the lenses will increase by a factor of 1.6. So, for example, your 35-70mm lens will have effective focal lengths of 56-112 mm.

Canon EOS Rebel T3i 600D Video Problem

hello there!
I've been using my DSLR for about a month ago, and I love that it shoots full HD 1080p in 24 frames per second which commonly used for film-making. My Question is, when I browse videos on my computer (.mov files), it's resolution is always 1920x1088. So, it's not exactly in 1080 in height, is this fine? or others do have situation like this? And lastly, if I upload a video on Youtube, does the quality of the video will be remained? Thanks

Hello francoambatali,
The video recorded by the EOS Rebel T3i is 1920 x 1080, so I am unsure where you see it listed as being different than that. From what you describe, your saying it has an extra 8 pixels on the vertical side, which makes it over HD if nothing else. But again, we do not think what you are seeing is accurate, instead the program is probably reading the specifications incorrectly. It will not harm the integrity of the video though.
If you upload a video to Youtube, the quality undoubtedly will be compressed as a result of being uploaded. Youtube's compression methods are not determined by Canon, so we can't say for certain how much of a quality loss there will be, but it will undoubtedly be lower quality than the original source file.

Is the canon eos rebel t3i compatible with Mac osx 10.9.1?

Is the canon eos rebel t3i compatible with Mac osx 10.9.1?
I am trying to transfer my photos from my camera to my Mac.
I have downloaded the software for the camera to my Mac BUT it cannot transfer the photos.
EOS Utility states that it cannot be used with this version of the operating system.
I am running on OSX 10.9.1
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I would try uninstalling the canon software and then just plug your camera into your Mac. iPhoto should be all the software you should need.

Compatibility with EOS rebel T3i

I have a EOS Rebel T3i. Is it compatible with a EF 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS ll USM lens?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was shooting with a T3i when I bought my 70-200 f/2.8 IS mkII a couple years back. Yes it worked great! I love the lens. It is not only my sharpest lens, it is also my quickest focusing lens and more importantly, it gives rich colors and deep impressive contrast and beautiful background blur/bokeh.
Good luck, and enjoy it!

EOS Rebel T3i EOS 600D tutorials?

Do you have any tutorials for a new user (no experience with this type of camera) of the EOS Rebel T3i EOS 600D?

I'd recommend this book, "Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D: From Snapshots to Great Shots ". It is a great tutorial and written specifically for this camera.

Canon Rebel T3i flash error

I am on my second Canon Rebel T3i. Out of the blue I get the Err 05 that the flash can not be raised. I turn it off and back on like it says but that doesn't help. Same thing happened with my first one only a month after I had it. This camera is less than a year old and doing this. Why? Do I have to send it away to be fixed?

There was an issue where the camera thinks an external flash is connected. You can check under the metal brackets where a shoe-bracket flash would go to see if the little button is being pushed down and blow some compressed air over it. If that doesn't help, you'll probably need to send it in for a defective flash release.
Although I do work for the Geek Squad, all comments and opinions are my own.

L Lens and EOS Rebel T3i body

I've been asking so many questions on here, haha.
But I'm here with another question. So I've somewhat been researching on the net about using L lens with a t3i and quite a handful of people are saying that they wouldn't work well together? So L lens aren't recommended for EOS Rebel bodies? Can someone explain this to me please.
I just recently bought the T3i and I just want a good lens. Preferably for landscape photos. I also take some sports, low light, and portrait photos.
Suggestions for landscape and all around photography lens would be great (:
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Often for landscape photography people want to use a wide angle lens. Not always, there aren't any rules that say you can't use something else. I'm just sayin' it's typically the first thing that comes to mind
One of the best wide angles you can get for use on a T3i is the Canon EF-S 10-22mm USM. It is not an "L" but that doesn't matter.
I suspect what you have been told about using an L-series lens is due to your camera's crop factor, as several other responses have suggested. L-series will work just fine on your camera, but all L-series lenses are "full frame" designs, by definition. As a result, none of the L's will be particularly wide angle on your camera. So when people hear "landscape", they suggest something other than an L-series.
You have four different stated purposes: landscape, sports, low light and portraiture. The whole point of a DSLR such as your T3i is to be able to interchange lenses, to be able to adapt the camera for use in different situations. So I would suggest not to try to do it all with one lens, but to look at several lenses (some of which are Ls), which ultimately should give you better results. For example....
Wide angle landscape: EF-S 10-22mm.
Sports: 70-200/4, 70-200/4L IS, 70-200/2.8, 70-200/2.8L IS II, 100-400L IS, 300/4L IS.
Low light: 24/2.8 IS, 28/1.8, 35/2 IS, 50/1.4, 50/1.8 II, 85/1.8.
Portraiture (candid): 50/1.4, 85/1.8.
Portraiture (studio): EF-S 15-85 IS, EF 28-135 IS, 24-105L, 24-70/4 IS , 24-70/2.8L II.
Portraiture (environmental): 20/2.8, 24/2.8 IS, 28/1.8, 35/2 IS.
General purpose "walk-around" lens: EF-S 15-85 IS... or, depending upon what other lenses you get, EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS, or EF 28-135 IS, 24-105L IS, 24-70/4L IS, 24-70/2.8L II.
There are lots of different ways to put together a lens kit. For example, maybe you just don't need as wide a view as the 10-22mm for your landscape photography. If so, instead you might choose the EF-S 15-85mm as wide enough and because it can double as a walkaround lens and can even be useful for some portraiture.
A "minimal" kit I often carry around with a crop camera is: 10-22mm, 28-135 IS, 300/4 IS w/1.4X teleconverter, and a Tamron 60/2.0 macro/portrait.
When I'm shooting sports, which I mostly do with crop sensor cameras, I usually carry: 10-22mm and 24-70/2.8, but my most used lenses are 70-200/2.8 IS and 300/4 IS. (In certain situations I also use 70-200/4 IS and 300/2.8 IS.)
For portraiture with a crop sensor camera, my favorite lenses are: 28/1.8, 50/1.4, 85/1.8 and 135/2. Especially the 50mm and 85mm.
Your camera can use all EF-S and EF lenses, including all L-series. But just because a lens will fit and work doesn't mean it's the best choice for your purposes. In some cases buying a full frame capable lens for your camera will be wasteful.... FF lenses can be bigger, heavier and more expensive... yet not really give you any better performance, maybe even give less. For example, a 16-35/2.8L II is a wonderful lens on a FF camera, but makes little sense to buy for use on a crop camera. For less money you can either get a lens that's truly wide (EF-S 10-22mm), or a lens that offers slightly wider range of focal lengths and has IS (EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS).
Depth of field actually is not directly effected by different camera sensor sizes. What changes depth of field are: lens focal length, lens aperture, and distance to subject. If you are looking for shallow depth of field (blurring down a background for a portrait, for example), you need a large aperture and longer focal length... and the closer you are to the subject the more shallow depth of field will be. If, on the other hand, you want a lot of depth of field ( for a landscape shot, for example), you want to use a smaller aperture and a shorter focal length.... and the farther you are from the subject (within reason), the deeper depth of field will be.
Now where crop sensor vs full frame does come into effect is that in order to get the same subject framing with a crop sensor we need to stand farther away with any given focal length, or if shooting from the same distance will use a shorter focal length. In either case, the result is "less" depth of field, but it is an indirect result of the different sensor size.
Have fun shopping and learning your new camera!

Rebel t3i Flash output settings

I have a new rebel t3i when i set the flash to manual the flash output level for the built in flash will not go higher than 1/4 power. it will go lower down to 1/128 power but not higher than 1/4. I contacted canon and they replied back that they do not know. I sent a second e-mail and that person said that is the way it works. I don't beleive these two people really know, and all they do is answer e-mails. Somebody must know why this happens. Any help would be appreciated.

I think you're mis interpreting the manual. From reading the t21 & t41 as well as the 7D manual you don't have the ability to set the power output of the built in flash. You do have that available on the Canon Speedlights (ad on flash units) which are specified as fully compatible with your camera. .

Canon EOS Rebel T3i

So I think I'm almost about done on making a decision to buy a T3i (body only) rather than a T5i because I want a good quality lens. Majority of the pictures I take are landscape photos. Nature, sometimes sports, and a little bit of portraits. What I need help on is which lens would be perfect for me to purchase?
I wish to get the 24-70 L, but that's a little too pricey for me. I prefer something under $1000
Solved!
Go to Solution.

From exactly what you indicated in your query, the 24-105mm f4 L is the lens for you, It is the best buy, bang for the buck, lens Canon has. If you can find a white box version, you can get it for $650-$750. An it is an "L" model.
If there are no white box version, which are identical with the exact same warranty from Canon, the lens sells in the
$1100-$1150 range.
It will not be quite as wide for your landscapes and not quite a long for your sports but it is the best compromise for both.
It will be great for portraits and general use. It is reasonably fast at f4 and remains constant.
Of course no one lens is going to do everything, "best".
Avoid cheap off-brand lenses.

How do I remove the battery from EOS Rebel T3i camera?

Help! I figured out how to open the compartment and there seems to be a little release mechanism but I can't get it to stay open or actually release the battery. Anyone know the trick?

I've never used a T3i, but the battery latch is more or less the same. You should just slide it to the side and the battery will pop out. You can turn it over while holding it to the side to help it.
However, do you by chance have a generic battery you bought off a third party? Many of them are sized incorrectly and get stuck. If that's the case you need someone to hold the latch open while you use a good pair of needle nose and try to get purchase on that little plastic tab. I had a couple like that for my old 450D. I ended up wrapping dental floss around the batteries so I had something to pull up on.

EOS Rebel T3i suddenly not recognized by computer?

Suddenly my computer wont recognize my camera as a device, it's like it's not even plugged in at all.
It's not the USB, it's not the cord, it's not the computers because I've tried different ones of bothn tems,. I turn on the camera after plugging it in and it just turns on as if to take a photo.
I've tried unplugging it, resetting the computer, turning it off and on and nothing worksl.
The EOS utility download doesn't work.
I've tried it on Windows 7 and Windows Vista

Hi abc123! Thanks for posting. When the camera is connected and powered on, do you hear a noise from the computer indicating a connection has been made? Does the computer show the camera at all in the Device Manager? To check, click the Start button, type Device Manager and press Enter. Is your computer a laptop? What USB port on the computer are you connecting it to? If this is a time sensitive-matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

Canon EOS rebel T3i. Zoom lens

My partner has a new camera. She Is a beginner she wants. Zoom lens. What do you. Suggest.?

Canon makes quite a range of zooms.
There are a few general purpose zooms -- no extravagent features that drive up the price tag -- and these usually have ranges up to about 200 or 300mm focal length. They tend to not be too expensive (e.g. $300 give or take.)
But there are some uses for which these general-purpose zooms are not ideal and I'd like to make sure that's not what she needs.
While most people tend to use zoom lenses outdoors... will this lens be used for either (a) indoor sports games (e.g. basketball) or (b) outdoor games played at night under lights?
Action photography either indoors or under artificial lighting (e.g. sports games that are not playing during the day) struggle with (a) having enough light to use shutter speeds adequate to freeze action and (b) performance of the auto-focus motors which may not keep up.
A general purpose zoom will have a variable focal ratio ranging from f/4 to f/5.6 (when zoomed all the way in, it's almost always f/5.6). A high-end zoom will be able to provide a constant focal ratio of f/2.8 -- that literally collects FOUR times more light when an f/5.6 lens... so if a consumer grade zoom is trying to shoot... say an indoor basketball game and struggling with the light to use any shutter speed faster than 1/250th sec (not fast enough to freeze action)... the f/2.8 zoom in that same lighting would let you take that shot at 1/1000th sec (easily fast enough to freeze action).
With this in mind, I'll toss out a few options:
1) Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM and note that I bolded the letters "STM". The STM lens is a redesign and refinement of Canon's previous EF-S 55-250mm lens which did not have the STM stepper-motor technology. The stepper-motors are virtually silent, but they are much faster than the regular focusing motors. Also, the optics of the lens have been refined and the STM version of the lens scores noticeably better for contrast and resolution (ability to resolve fine amounts of detail). This lens lists for about $350. It's a great general-purpose zoom. It would do fine with outdoor daytime shooting.
2) Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM and note that I bolded the number "70". Canon makes a 75-300mm zoom. That lens receives perhaps the most mediocre reviews of any lens Canon makes and is probably the least recommended lens in the lineup. The 70-300mm, on the other hand, is a MUCH better lens both optically and performance-wise.
3) Canon makes several different white "L" series lenses with the 70-200mm zoom range. The lens cames in either f/2.8 focal ratio versions (much more expensive) or in the f/4 version (less expensive) and there are versions with IS (image stabilization) and without. The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II is the best of the lot by far... but also costs over $2k. Going to the f/4 version (only collects half as much light as an f/2.8 lens, but twice as much as an f/5.6 lens -- so you're in the middle) drops the price, and getting the version that does not have image stabilization drops the price even more. Also, f/2.8 lenses are heavy -- so you reduce weight with an f/4 lens. The EF 70-200mm f/4L USM (note there's no "IS" on this version) lists for about $700.
4) Going back to the economically priced lenses... the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II is the least expensive lens I would suggest. It lists for $300 (all these prices are list -- shop around). This is similar to the first lens I mentioned, except it doesn't have STM motors. Focus will be slower. Most of the time that's not an issue, but if shooting action photography where the focus distance is changing rapidly... it would be an issue (e.g. sports games where the athlete is running toward you, for example.) Also, the optics on this lens are not as refined as the optics on the STM version. And then there is one feature which you might think is a nit, but it drives me nuts... I tend to use a polarizing filter when shooting outdoors to cut reflections and enhance color. This version of the lens rotates as it focuses (the others do not). That means that each time the focus changes, the polarizer would rotate and I'd have to reach forward and re-tune the polarizer (polarizing filters are rotated to tune them.) This lens is about $50 less than the STM version... I personally think having internal focus (focusing element is at the rear, not the front), a much faster focusing motor, and refined optics are all easily worth the $50 extra.
There is an EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens (not that it's "75-300" and not "70-300") which does not get very flattering reviews but is only $200.
If you win the lottery, you want the EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x... at only $11,799! If you do win the lottery, buy 2 and send one to me! ;-)

EOS rebel T3i: why is video recording suddenly shutting down after just a few seconds?

I have made dozens of movies with this card. Suddenlly the camera automatically shuts down video recording after just a few seconds. I've made dozens of movies with this card. Reformatted card. Still happens.

Sounds like a bad memory card. Have you tried another card?
