Film Canon EOS 1000F. Multiple exposure? ISO/shutter speed? Help?

I recently inherited one of these babies: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/eos/eoscamera/EOS1000FRebelS/index.htm



It's a lovely little thing- except I don't know how to use it! How can execute the %26quot;multiple exposure%26quot; technique with this thing? I don't know where the film rewind button is....

Also, how can I change the shutter speed/ISO. What does a higher shutter speed mean and what does a lower shutter speed mean? When is the situation appropriate to use these settings?

Thank you in advance :)
Film Canon EOS 1000F. Multiple exposure? ISO/shutter speed? Help?
if by multiple exposure you mean shooting more than 1 picture on the same piece of film then you can't do that with this camera. it is an auto wind/rewind camera with no multiple exposure button to allow shutter re-arming without advancing the film.

you shouldn't need to change the ISO because this camera has auto ISO sensing for all film cartridges with DX sensing strips (which is basically all film unless you roll it yourself). however, if you want to verify the ISO turn the top dial to ISO and see what the number says on the little lcd display.

shutter speed can be changed in either M mode or Tv mode. a high or fast shutter speed is used to take pictures of fast moving action like sports. a low or slow shutter speed may be used in low light situation like inside or at night but a tripod or stable support will be needed to avoid camera shake. you can also use a slow shutter speed to capture motion blur like those night pictures of the freeway when all the lights of the cars are streaking by.

most importantly you need to learn how to read your light meter. on that camera i believe it's at the bottom as you look through the viewfinder. it should also read out on the lcd display in M mode. for starters it may help to keep the camera in Tv mode. this allows you to set the shutter speed and the camera does the rest based on the film you have loaded inside. this way the light meter is always reads in the middle as it's supposed to but without so much work on your part.

it may also help to document your shots as you shoot them. write down the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO for each shot. then when you get your film developed you can look and see what went right and what went wrong and then correct it. it's cumbersome but it'll only take a couple rolls of film before you figure out what works and what doesn't.

First, do an on-line search for an Owner's Manual for your camera. Try here:

You can also try eBay if you want.



Second, spend time reading %26amp; studying the Manual.



Trying to use the camera without the Manual is a waste of time - and frustrating.

Can you slow the shutter speed with a digital camera?

I have a Sony Cybershot. I was just wondering because I want to do one of those videos for my media class where you have a light in your hand, move extremely fast and then have the shutter speed set extremely slow so it has that really cool effect in the end. Is that even possible with the camera I have? I can't figure out how to change the shutter speed!
Can you slow the shutter speed with a digital camera?
You want a long exposure, sometimes called bulb mode. Most compacts do not give you this option. Usually only the top end compacts have manual controls for aperture and shutter speed. if you can't find the info in your manual, it's probably not an option. All dSLRs can do this however.



The technique you are referring to is called light painting.

With that model of cybershot?



I think so.



Oh, wait.



You didn't tell us what model you were using.



I don't know.



You come on here asking for help but don't provide basic information.



Sony make and have made a lot of cameras.



General hint: if it has a dial with the letter 'S' on it then you probably can.



More general hint: we are a helpful bunch on here, Just give us the basics.
If it's like my PowerShot, then you set the dial to M and you can control all the settings manually. But it probably won't work in the video mode.

    I bought my Canon one month ago and I cant, for the life of me, figure out how to change the shutter speed. I've looked at all the manual setting and I still can't find it. Am I missing the obvious?



    I went to my nephews soccer practice and took some pictures in 'Action' mode but the colors were to vivid so I changed it to Manual and got all the settings to my liking but they came out very blurry. If you could be kind enough to tell me where the Shutter speed is located I'll give you 10 points.



    Thanks much. -Skylar

    On the mode dial, it's labeled as %26quot;Tv%26quot;

    If you need any further help, just read your owners manual. It's the best way to figure out all of the controls on your camera.

    Canon Eos 400d - Shutter Speed?

    Can anyone help and explain how to do it? :]

    Switch to Tv mode on the mode dial.

    Adjust speed using the wheel on top of the camera, between the shutter button and the mode dial.

    The shutter speed is displayed on the LCD.

    Are you seriously telling us you have been trying to do such a simple procedure for 2 months without taking 5 minutes to look in the owners manual which tells and shows you precisely and easily how to do it?



    Amazing. I'm speechless.

    Have you turned the camera to manual,try from there!!
    yes
    When all else fails, READ %26amp; STUDY the Owner's Manual for your camera. Consider taking a couple of photography classes. Photographer and author David Busch has written a Guide for your camera. Buy it. http://www.dbusch.com

    Digital camer shutter speed!!!please help?

    okay, im really confused with this. I can change the shutter speed on my camera (fujifilm s5700) and i know how, but i really just dont understand. the instruction manual says %26quot;shutter speed setting 4 secs. to 1/1000 sec. in 1/3 ev increments%26quot;. I have no idea which one is the fastest/quickest time.
    Digital camer shutter speed!!!please help?
    The fastest time is 1/1000. That's a part of 1 second. If you can imagine a second broken into 1000 pieces, the amount of time would just be 1 piece or 1/1000 of a second.



    The slowest time is 4 seconds.



    Now, for the numbers, from fastest to slowest...

    1/1000, 1/750, 1/500, 1/250......



    As you can see, as the bottom number gets smaller, the shutter gets slower.



    Of course, if you weren't sure which was the fastest and slowest...try taking a photo at 4 seconds....vs. a photo at 1/1000. You'll figure out pretty quick which one is the slowest.
    Digital camer shutter speed!!!please help?
    the smallest is the fastest. 1/1000 will be the fastest. What this means is how long, how many seconds, the shutter will remain open.
    You have a digital camera, so do some tests and see for yourself. That way you will know what your camera will do under your conditions.



    1/3 increments means 1/3 stop increments.
    the bigger number on the bottom of the fraction is the fastest

    Camera shutter speed?

    i have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S85, and i want to change the shutter speed but im not sure how. The thing i found that i think is the shutter speed, keeps making is darker (when its on a low number like 8, it is bright, and the number goes from 8%26quot; up to 1000, but if i set it at 1000, the screen is almost 100% black)
    Camera shutter speed?
    This camera does have a shutter priority mode as well as a aperture priority mode and even full manual mode. The shutter speed is selectable from 8 seconds to a fast 1/1000 of a second. You may have the camera in full manual mode. By selecting the shutter speed but not properly adjusting the aperture, you will get results similar to what you mentioned. Make sure the camera is in shutter priority mode, that way the camera will select the correct aperture for you. Otherwise you will need to open the aperture as you increase the shutter speed to let enough light.
    Camera shutter speed?
    The shutter speed (time in seconds) is equal to : 1/1000 or 1/8 and so on.
    Yes, that's your shutter speed. Shutter speed limits the amount of light let into your camera (how long the shutter stays open for). Usually to use anything less than 1/60, you need a tripod.



    Here's an article you may want to check out for more info.

    http://www.berniecode.com/writing/photog鈥?/a>
    You are not understanding how to yield a proper exposure. I am not sure if your camera has a shutter priority mode, i doubt it, seeing as it is a point and shoot camera. You can't just set a wild shutter speed that won't work in the scene, it's not possible. Although Shutter Priority mode is an Auto mode, you can't set it literally to anything you want. For example, there is no way you are going to get a 1/1000 shutter speed in a low light room at f/8. You need to take a class or two in photograph to better your skills with exposure.
    These books will help you:



    %26quot;Understanding Exposure%26quot; and %26quot;Understanding Shutter Speed%26quot; both by Bryan Peterson.



    Of course, if you'll READ %26amp; STUDY the Owner's Manual for your camera you'll have a better idea of how to actually use it. I'm certain that the Manual will explain Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority and how to use them on your camera.



    **** EDIT ****



    The shutter does NOT %26quot;... limit the amount of light let into the camera ...%26quot; The aperture (f-stop) in the lens determines how much light is admitted. The shutter speed controls how long the light admitted is allowed to expose the film or digital sensor.

    Finepix Shutter Speed?

    I'm stummped, can anyone help me? I have a Finepix FujiFilm Z20 FD, and I'm currently trying to do light graffiti, does anybody know how to change the shutter speed? I just cannot find it, at all.



    Please%26amp;Thank you :]
    Finepix Shutter Speed?
    To do what you want, you need a camera that has a %26quot;bulb%26quot; setting, a tripod and a remote shutter release to lock the shutter open during the time you are making your graffiti images



    While your Z20fd is a fine point and shoot camera, it was never intended to be a fully adjustable camera, so has no aperture or shutter speed priority mode. With trickery, you can get the camera to shoot at 4 seconds, but not long enough to do any serious graffiti writing.
