-==Differences in the Models==
-=== New Features to the T5i/T6i===
-The newer Rebel models have a separate video mode switch, a flip-out LCD monitor, touch screen functionality, and a depth-of-field preview button.
-===LCD Flip-out Screen===
-To flip the monitor out, pull on the right side of the screen.  When it is swung out you can rotate it up, down, or over 180 degrees to face the subject.  This allows you to view your Live View image or exposure settings from various angles.
-−
-===Touch Screen===
-The LCD screen monitor on the T5i/T6i has touch screen capabilities, unlike the other Rebel models available at Media Loan. You can use the touch screen to navigate the MENU, adjust settings, and change exposure.  It is automatically activated in Live View mode and the MENU; with Live View off you will need to press the Q button to activate the touch screen and navigate the Q Menu. Touch screen can be enabled/disabled in the MENU. The touch shutter function, activated in Live View mode, enables you to take a picture by simply tapping the LCD screen with your finger.

-===T5i/T6i Differences===
-The Canon Rebel T5i and T6i are very similar in design and functionality.  They are both equipped with the same censor, the APS-C 332.3mm2 and have the same ISO range of 100-12,800. Media Loan has very few T6i’s available. Here are the major differences between these models:
-*  Megapixels: 18MP – T5i vs. 24.2MP – T6i
-* Pixels: T5i – Bigger pixels, better in low-light vs. T6i – More pixels, higher resolution
-* Even though they have the same ISO range, the T6i handles noise better
-* The T6i has more Auto-Focus (AF) points
-They have slight differences in exterior buttons, explained below.

 ====JPEG Images====
 JPEG images are compressed image files that save memory space by removing some of the detail and dynamic range from photographs.  Canon Rebels apply a noise reduction process during the creation of JPEG images, which can make images look smoother in low-ISO situations, but can create a large amount of digital artifacts in high-ISO images.  The T5i and T6i both have various resolution and quality settings for JPEG image capture.
 ===Menu System===
 The full menu system of the Rebels can be accessed by pressing the '''MENU''' button on the back of the camera by the viewfinder. Image quality settings, picture style customization, memory management, screen brightness, and more are controlled from within the main menu. Use the cross keys to navigate the menu. Use the '''SET''' button to choose the highlighted option. At any time you can return to the main menu by pressing the '''MENU''' button again, or the home screen by halfway depressing the '''shutter release'''.

 # Close the battery door.
-The battery will only fit in one way, so if it does not seem to be working, the battery is not oriented correctly. When the camera is powered off, it takes several seconds to clean the sensor. Because of this, make sure that the "Sensor Cleaning" logo is no longer on the screen before removing the battery.

 ===Camera Memory===
-The T5i/T6i can use SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. Most Media Loan Rebels will come with a 16 gigabyte card already in the camera. If you wish to use your own card, make sure the speed rating is at least Class 4 for RAW photos, and Class 10 45mb/s for video.

 To switch memory cards, open the door on the back of the camera's hand grip, and press the back of the memory card. The card will pop out far enough to grab the back. Remove the card. To insert a new card, make sure it is oriented correctly, and insert the new memory card until it stops.

 ====Removing and Replacing Lenses====
 '''Please do not remove the included kit lens from the camera unless you intend to attach a different lens immediately.''' On the Canon Rebel, there is a half-circle shaped button on the right side of the lens mount (viewed from the front of the camera).  To remove the lens, press this button, and turn the lens approximately 90 degrees clockwise.  To attach a new lens, find the guide mark on the lens body.  If it is an EF lens, the guide mark will be a red circle.  If the lens is EF-S, the guide mark will be a white square.  Line up the guide mark with the matching mark on the Canon rebel body, set the lens into the mount, and turn it approximately 90 degrees counter clockwise until it locks into place.
 ====Auto / Manual Focus Switch====
 The Canon Rebel uses an in-lens focusing system, which is switched on and off on the body of the lens.  Regardless of the settings on the camera body, if the switch on the lens is set to MF (Manual Focus), the camera will not perform AF (Auto Focus) functions.
