Review Time

You can adjust the amount of time an image is displayed for review on the LCD after each shot is taken. You can elect to disable this review entirely, or choose display times of 2, 4, or 8 seconds. You can also set an indefinite display, which will keep your image on the screen until you use one of the other controls, such as the shutter button or Main Dial. Turning the review display off or choosing a brief duration can help preserve battery power. However, the Digital Rebel XTi will always override the review display when the shutter button is partially or fully depressed, so you’ll never miss a shot because a previous image was on the screen. Choose Review Time from the Playback menu, and select Off, 2 sec., 4 sec., 8 sec., or Hold, as shown in Figure 3.20. If you want to retain an image on the screen for a longer period, but you don’t want to use Hold as your default, press the Erase button under the LCD monitor. The image will display until you choose Cancel, Erase, or All from the menu that pops up at the bottom of the screen.
