The Canon Rebel XT has dozens of settings you can adjust to meet your needs when taking pictures. Over time you may choose to return the camera to the factory default settings so that you have a fresh start to make adjustments to the camera settings. Canon included a reset feature that allows you to reset all of the Rebel XT's settings at one time.

Press the "Menu" button on the back of the Canon Rebel XT and to the left of the LCD screen to access the main menu. You will notice five tabs across the top of the screen.
Step
Push the "Jump" button, which is located below the "Menu" button on the back of the camera, until the last tab is selected. The last tab is "Set-up Menu 2," and has a symbol of a wrench next to a hammer and a "2."
