My old man passed away 13 years ago. This camera was glued to his hands during my childhood and captured many memorable moments. I found it and took it into a camera shop and all it needed was a new battery. Thank you for this video I really appreciate it and it’ll help me navigate this new hobby
hi! this video was extremely useful and helpful. Was just wondering if I am lending this camara to someone who doesnt know anything about taking pictures, what would be the best setting to use, as if it was automatic or point and shoot?
Is that the first Canon Rebel model that came out? Do you know what year Canon released the first Rebel? I bought a used Rebel G in 2015 and it's a decent film camera.
This is the first Rebel, but not the first EOS camera. The first EOS was the 650. I don't recall the year this camera was released, but that info is usually pretty early in these videos.
Yup, and the longer the lens final length the better as longer lenses give blurrier backgrounds. Also let your subject away from the background, for insurance for a headshot portrait a focal length like 85mm with about ten feet from there subject to the background, or more, will work with a large aperture.
Hi! Thank you for the video, it for sure helped:) I just wonder if I can make picturec without the lens? Because i bought the camera but the lens weren't included. Thank you!
Hello! I received the Canon EOS Rebel 35mm camera from my mom and it had a roll of film already inside the camera. I bought brand new 2CR5 lithium batteries, however the camera won’t turn on. It turned on briefly and I was able to switch through the settings, but the camera wouldn’t take photos (it has 2 shots left). It looked like the camera froze, so I removed the battery and re-inserted it, but now the camera won’t turn on at all. Any idea why? Thank you!
Hmm. That's bizarre. Try cleaning the battery contacts (isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs) inside the camera's battery chamber and see if that helps. If the contacts are dirty, they may not be transmitting electricity.
So it looks like when I manually press against battery firm against the metal pieces, the camera turns on. Otherwise there’s not enough pressure with the battery door closed to make a connection. Any suggestions? I have been using the 2CR5 lithium battery by Energizer
Is there a setting to disable the pre winding feature? I find cameras with pre winding is kinda annoying when you wanna reuse the same roll in other film cameras because not many film cameras do pre winding.
Almost any tripod would work. Don't get a tiny one, like a Gorilla pod or whatever with the legs made of bunches of little orbs, but if you walked into a camera shop with USD $100 in your pocket you could get a much-more-than-suitable tripod.
I recently got this camera and it’s not turning on at all. I put a brand new battery in and have tried manually forcing it against the battery contacts but still nothing works. Would there be anything else going on or is it a dud camera?
This might be a long shot but was wondering if you knew where you can possibly get one of those battery holder things? I got this camera for very cheap but it doesn't have the pack to hold the batteries in.
@@DavidHancock Sirry I was confused didn’t realize the batteries themselves are a pack lol. Thank you for this in debt video though, found the batteries and film I needed.
Depends on the settings. The scene modes and program, no. With Av to and Tv, you just set the aperture or shutter speed, respectively, and the camera does the rest.
I have a rebel g bought it at Ritz store in 98 for my first trip to dland with then gf now wife and shot our wedding with it in 2000. Still have it now and been finding more glass for it and flashes over years. I've been buying old slr cameras over years too and love using my olympus all manual camera to take outdoor shots and MAN the looks I get from everyone using phones and shirt pocket dig cameras. 😅 I get surrounded by curious people wanting to hold it and look at it. And get compliments by older shooters. I like using old school cameras and equipment. Great vid 👌 👌
Very similar. There are some layout differences, but if you can navigate the variations then you'll get the general gist. The II has some very slightly different specs, but nothing that will affect the camera's use.
Just to check and make sure, you have fresh batteries correctly installed and the leader is placed all the way to the side by the loading index and the film is resting flat in the camera when you close the door?
I just purchased mine from a thrift store and it seems to work fine but when I put in the film and switched the setting, instead of it counting the exposures it seems to stay blank and a symbol blinks.. do you know if i did something wrong?
That's curious. It sounds like the camera is automatically rewinding the film. The best advice I can think of is to make sure that the film is loaded like the video shows. If so, it shouldn't (if the camera works correctly) automatically rewind it.
I think these use an electronic release that plugs into the side, if I recall correctly. You'd need to pick one of those up or just hold down the shutter button. A trick for the latter is to use a broccoli rubber band and a small something, like a coin or pebble, to put pressure on the shutter release and then you don't have to hold it down.
@@DavidHancock I have a question too, for some reason, the display on the top of mine was working perfectly, and then from one second to another it froze, so I thought wait a little and then if nothing pull the battery out. Now I can’t get the screen to turn on. Have any suggestions?
@@mateobernal641 Off the top of my head, not many. Could be the battery died, woohoo would be surprising given your description. More likely a capacitor failed. If it doesn't work with a new battery, it may be dead.
Have the Canon Rebel Xs , got to be one of the lightest 35mm film camera fully programmable lol , became with Allen's 35 by 80 I believe my but a 50 mm on it ,
Program mode lets you program shift (basically intentionally over- and underexpose images) and lets you control the flash. Green box takes away all control including whether or not the flash pops up.
Hello hopefully someone sees my msg . I have one of these it turns on and put the film but when I try taking a shot the shutter closes and would have a battery warning

Very well done of your part explaining how to use the standard shooting modes mr David. I’m taking note and pictures properly. Thanks a lot 🖐🏻
Thank you!
Never shot film before and found an old Rebel in my Dads basement. This video was incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thank you!
I love this camera now. I have it. Liked it when you explained the double exposure. Impressive video.
Thank you!
The self timer mode would be using Program mode? Great explanation as usual!
Thank you and self timer will work in any mode.
hi! this video was extremely useful and helpful. Was just wondering if I am lending this camara to someone who doesnt know anything about taking pictures, what would be the best setting to use, as if it was automatic or point and shoot?
Thank you and yea, I'd hand it to them in P (program mode and the results will probably turn out the best that they can.

This is the first Rebel, but not the first EOS camera. The first EOS was the 650. I don't recall the year this camera was released, but that info is usually pretty early in these videos.
@David Hancock Thank you. I knew it wasn't the first EOS camera. But wasn't sure when they introduced the Rebel Consumer grade cameras.
So say if I want the background blurred out or in focus what would I have to do? Change aperture??
Yup, and the longer the lens final length the better as longer lenses give blurrier backgrounds. Also let your subject away from the background, for insurance for a headshot portrait a focal length like 85mm with about ten feet from there subject to the background, or more, will work with a large aperture.

@@thicc470 try some tape. The clip on the door may be damaged and tape might hold it in place.
Is there a setting to disable the pre winding feature? I find cameras with pre winding is kinda annoying when you wanna reuse the same roll in other film cameras because not many film cameras do pre winding.
Nope. That's programmed into it.
Are there any tripods that would be able to use on this camera. Also would long exposure be possible? Or is star trails only a digital thing? Thanks
Almost any tripod would work. Don't get a tiny one, like a Gorilla pod or whatever with the legs made of bunches of little orbs, but if you walked into a camera shop with USD $100 in your pocket you could get a much-more-than-suitable tripod.
I bought one of these on an auction. What version is it? Or how can I check
It should indicate on the camera which model it is.
do you know if I need to change anything in settings to use black and white film in the Canon Rebel S II?
As long as the ISO matches, you're good to go.
Do you know if I need the plastic case for the batteries for it to work?
@@AlexisAAraujo you will need the cover for the battery chamber, yes.
I recently got this camera and it’s not turning on at all. I put a brand new battery in and have tried manually forcing it against the battery contacts but still nothing works. Would there be anything else going on or is it a dud camera?
I have bad news. Most likely, the electronics are dead.
Thank you for making these videos that was very helpful. I was just given one of these (1000N) .
Thank you! That's a great gift.
This might be a long shot but was wondering if you knew where you can possibly get one of those battery holder things? I got this camera for very cheap but it doesn't have the pack to hold the batteries in.
eBay is your best bet.

Hello. I'm new in photography. By choosing anything that is not manual would pictures develop correctly or do i still have to adjust a few things?
Depends on the settings. The scene modes and program, no. With Av to and Tv, you just set the aperture or shutter speed, respectively, and the camera does the rest.

Very nice and thank you! I also enjoy when people on hikes ask me about my film cameras. :D It's a great way to meet new people.
There is paint coming off the part of the camera you use to zoom in. What do I do?
That won't affect the function. I guess you could try to paint the symbol back on.
Another amazing video!
Thank you!
is the rebel and the rebel II essentially the same I got a rebel II but I can’t find anyone with videos on it
Very similar. There are some layout differences, but if you can navigate the variations then you'll get the general gist. The II has some very slightly different specs, but nothing that will affect the camera's use.
@@DavidHancockThank you so much great video btw!
My EoS Canon Rebel film want advance when I put it in my camera
Just to check and make sure, you have fresh batteries correctly installed and the leader is placed all the way to the side by the loading index and the film is resting flat in the camera when you close the door?
I just purchased mine from a thrift store and it seems to work fine but when I put in the film and switched the setting, instead of it counting the exposures it seems to stay blank and a symbol blinks.. do you know if i did something wrong?
i figured out what happened, the film was rolling the opposite direction back inside the canister i think? do you know how to fix that?
That's curious. It sounds like the camera is automatically rewinding the film. The best advice I can think of is to make sure that the film is loaded like the video shows. If so, it shouldn't (if the camera works correctly) automatically rewind it.
I have the same exact camera but I haven't figured out how to use the bulb mode since it can't take a cable release. do you have any suggestions?
I think these use an electronic release that plugs into the side, if I recall correctly. You'd need to pick one of those up or just hold down the shutter button. A trick for the latter is to use a broccoli rubber band and a small something, like a coin or pebble, to put pressure on the shutter release and then you don't have to hold it down.
thank you David!

What you think it could be happening if the cámara doesn’t turn on, I change the battery?
Most likely the camera needs new batteries, yes.
Have the Canon Rebel Xs , got to be one of the lightest 35mm film camera fully programmable lol , became with Allen's 35 by 80 I believe my but a 50 mm on it ,
Nice!
What’s the difference between green box and program mode?
Program mode lets you program shift (basically intentionally over- and underexpose images) and lets you control the flash. Green box takes away all control including whether or not the flash pops up.
When I loaded my film it went up to a 37 and never went back to a 36 is something wrong?
It should count down when you start taking photos. Is that happening?
Hello hopefully someone sees my msg . I have one of these it turns on and put the film but when I try taking a shot the shutter closes and would have a battery warning
If the batteries are new, try shooting it in another mode first. If that doesn't work, it's likely an electronics issue.
@@DavidHancock Yeahh I tried every mode the shutter just closes and shows a battery symbol saying is empty. Is worth repairing or just get a new one ?
@@inmyfeels3856 Assuming the electronics are shot, which it sounds like they are, there's no repairing it.
Thank you
Thank you!
