20 Most Recent Canon EOS Rebel 2000 35mm SLR Camera Questions & Answers

Have you removed the batteries for a few hours (reset) ? Have you turned the dial around several times (clean contacts) The only other error is the flashing battery light, if it persistes, according to the manual. It's dead as repairs would be pretty expensive against a newer replacement.

Manually turn off the camera, remove the batteries, press the shutter release a few times draining any residual charge. Replace the batteries give it a go. It the issue continues it well may be something wrong with the shutter release.

Turn the command dial to the "L" position to turn off and lock the camera.

Lens needs are determined by the type of photography one shoots. Example, for my needs I use three prime lens, 35 mm, 50 mm, and 100 mm. Sold all my zoom lens purchased primes. The question is what are you attempting to capture? On a zoom lens look towards a constant aperture, not one when we zoom the aperture changes. Cordially

On many of the film Rebels, mine is the T2, the film is completely unwound. As we take pictures the film is rewound in to the film cassette. That is a film safety feature. If the back if the camera accidentally opens we only expose unused frames. The frames we took are safe in the cassette. Cordially

Hi Jane, When we press the shutter release the mirror flips up after the shutter opens and closes the mirror flips down. When it flips down we then see out the viewfinder. At first blush is sounds as though the mirror flipped up but not back down. Remove the lens look inside the camera press the shutter release what happens? Cordially,

To be sure you can use the lens, buy a Canon EOS lens. The plastic ones, can be cheap. I bought my last lens 28 - 80 mm, couple of months ago, for 5 dollar. and a working EOS 500 was connected for the same price. (lens and camera are still in good working order) Don't try other brands, because even when you find a convertor, it could be the lens will only work on manual focus.

Turn the mode dial to the green rectangle for automatic exposure. Set the autofocus switch on the lens to AF for automatic focus.

Yes, but not in the Auto mode, where the camera decides whether or not it needs the flash. Switch to the P mode, which works like Auto except you have control over the flash, exposure, and other factors. See pages 26 and 42 of this manual.

The Rebel 2000 uses two CR2 lithium batteries. They should be available at just about any department, electronics, or office-supply store.

Turn the mode dial to the "L" position to turn it off and lock it. Turn the mode dial to any other position to turn it on.

The film canister itself will have a spindle in the middle of it, with it sticking out on one side. Place the canister on the right side, with the spindle pointing upwards. There will be either a spool on the left with a series of pegs on it, or a red marking on the left side for you to place the edge of the film on. (If there are pegs, make sure the sprocket holes on the film fit over them).

Hello,

Try this.

Turn the command dial on the top of the camera to [AV]
Use the [main dial] next to the shutter button to adjust the aperture.

The rear button that is round that is marked 'Av +/-' is the shift button. This controls the exposure compensation.

Could you be turning the wrong wheel?

Hope this helps.
