Canon EOS 5000 (Canon EOS 888) Video 2: Operation, Use, How to Take a Photo, Flash, & Shooting Modes

The Canon EOS 5000 (also called the Canon EOS 888) was an entry-level SLR with scene and shutter-priority shooting only. Very much designed to take photos quickly and easily, and geared toward a market that doesn't need detailed camera operational knowledge, the Canon EOS 5000 was an ideal point and shoot that could also mount high-end Canon EF lenses.

i just got this easy babe and will be my first analog camera, thanks for helping me with your video! cheers from brazil

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you! And enjoy these are fun to use.

[@deez-y6z]

Thank you for this so much! Cause i bought this camera of a thrift for 600 pesos (which is like 10$) untested so i was just really happy when i put it new batteries and it worked!, i cant really find any other videoss showing how this camera works so i really appreciate this!. And one last is my timer actually works fine without holding the shutter down so it could just be a problem, but again thanks for this video!

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you!

[@juliacabral6744]

amazing content!!!! thank you so much (from brazil)

[@titustjt1612]

Its very helpful! Just get mine 1 fixed today and I wondering what if i use third party lens like Sigma 35mm 1.4(EF mount) on this canera? Does it automatically adjust the aperture too depending on my shutter speed?

[@DavidHancock]

@@titustjt1612 thank you and maybe it will work. Some third-party lenses do and others don't and I don't know why that is.

[@chronicallyacute9665]

This video was really helpful, because I haven't used a film camera since I was a child. I had no idea how to properly put in the film, so I messed up two rolls, but I hope i can handle it now. Just gotta buy some film.

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you!

[@Thato]

Is there no fully manual mode? like how do I set my own aperture and shutter speed

[@DavidHancock]

With this camera, that's not an option.

[@Thato]

@@DavidHancock Damn. thanks for the video! Just got the camera today :D

[@deez-y6z]

And also im a beginner and ive only used point and shoots so im neww to this and i wanna ask, does the camera only advance when the film has a dx code? Cause i just put in a waste film without a dx and it pre loads it but it doesn't advance when i shutter

[@DavidHancock]

Check that it's loaded correctly. I think this will uses non-DX film and assume it's 100 ISO, but it's been a long time since I made this video.

[@deez-y6z]

​@@DavidHancock Alright thanks alot, sorry i didnt see you replied since youtube didnt give me a notification, but thanks again!

[@ericoverton]

Thanks so much for the great video. I loaded in a roll today that I did not realize had no DX code. I’m curious - do you have any idea what it might default the ISO to? Do you think it’s salvageable?

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you! IIRC, default ISO is 100.

[@hebhali6772]

Just found my dads old EOS 5000 and seems in good condition but I just can’t get the little circle on the lens to focus any advice?

[@DavidHancock]

A few ideas. We'll start simple and obvious: 1- Make sure you have batteries. The camera won't operate without them. 2- Make sure that the lens is in AF mode (switch is on the lens) and that it's fully mounted onto the camera. That will allow the batteries in the camera to power the lens' autofocus motor. 3- If the answer to both of those is yes, does the camera work properly otherwise and can you focus the lens in MF (manual focus) mode by adjusting the lens' focus ring?

[@broke5193]

Im planning to buy a film for that camera its a KODAK color plus ultramax 400/36 EXP does this film work with that camera and if it does how pictures can i get from it 😅?

[@DavidHancock]

That sure will. For the number of photos, the film will give you 36 EXPosures. :D

[@AlexanderHellyar]

if i put a new film in and the camera is not on 'L' for load (i.e. on 500) can that cause the film to be blank? or is it damaging the camera?

[@AlexanderHellyar]

since posting this i now am unsure that the L on the options actually means 'load' other sources suggest it means low battery usage mode.

[@DavidHancock]

"L" means lock, and is basically the same as "off". You can load the film in any mode, but loading it in your selected shooting mode will give you the ability to start shooting more quickly.

[@Keykubadus]

You are making a good video, it was really helpful. Now I am sure that 20$ is not much money for this camera. From Russia with love...

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you!

[@thedoors241]

thanks david, that would be great if you share some shooting tips for this great device.

[@thedoors241]

greetings from Turkey by the way :)

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you! What kinds of tips are you looking for?

[@danielrafiq4556]

Where i can find that battery

[@DavidHancock]

Any grocery store or pharmacy should carry it. Also most online markets have them.

[@musica76423]

Hi, my camera doesn't roll the film into the camera at the beginning..does it have to have a particular setting? Thanks

[@DavidHancock]

It shouldn't have any special setting. It could either be that the film isn't resting properly in the camera or it could be a failed motor.

[@musica76423]

@@DavidHancock THANK YOU

[@jacksonzzzz9712]

Super helpful!!!! thanks from China!

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you!

[@tomaszsku5705]

What if have 28mm lens? What shutter speed should be used?

[@DavidHancock]

Lens focal length has no effect on the shutter speed selection. Film type, available light, and what you want your image to look like will affect that.

[@sofievanderijdt6671]

Pleasssseeeee someone help me: I found my dads Canon EOS 5000 and there is literally nothing to put batteries in. My dad threw out the manual and the online one says there should be a latch but there is literally nothing

[@DavidHancock]

If there's just a hole where there should be a battery cover, then the cover probably broke off. Without it, the camera won't be able to get power from the batteries. Well, asterisk, without the door you could put a strip of tin foil over the batteries and then tape them into the camera and that might work. The battery terminals are inside the camera and the metal piece on the underside of the battery cover only serves to make a connection between the two batteries.

[@sofievanderijdt6671]

@@DavidHancock nonono there is no hole, there is literally nothing. On the camera it says EOS5000 but the bottom of the device looks nothing like the picture. There are no latches and in the middle instead of the attachment for the tripod there is some kind of screw top and next to that is the hole for the tripod.

[@DavidHancock]

@@sofievanderijdt6671 it's probably got a battery grip on it. I haven't ever seen one in person, so I don't know lots about them, but they have the battery removal thing on one of the sides. Usually you'll just have to undo a clip, slide out the battery caddy, and then replace the batteries that way.

[@munchkinmunchkin123]

Can you use stm lenses?

[@DavidHancock]

If they're Canon EF mount, yes.

[@skhighway6633]

hey guys, thank you for the video! I was wondering which lens to use on this camera. Is it possible to use recent numerical lenses?

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you and any of the EF-mount lenses, not EF-S and not R, will work.

[@tynacardoso929]

IF I use a manual lens how I get the right exposure

[@DavidHancock]

If you're asking about a lens with a native Canon EF mount, then it's all controlled on the the camera. If you're asking about an adapted lens that does not have electronic controls, set the camera to "A" and then control exposure with the aperture ring on the lens.

[@rockycassiano4756]

So, I just picked up a N75 with a 28-80mm F 1:3.3 nikkor lens for $50. My first AF lens. Is the N75 about equal to the Canon EOS 5000?

[@DavidHancock]

Probably a step up in terms of features, but generally the same class yes. The N75 is an A-okay camera.

[@mervenur9260]

thanks , your video was very helpful

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you!

[@jasminearellano920]

Is it okay to take out the batteries to preserve it even though I have some shots left on the roll? Or will that mess up the un-developed roll?

[@DavidHancock]

That is just fine.

[@guillermorojas9754]

Si puede ser en español las charlas gracias

[@DavidHancock]

Ojalá, pero no hablo español.

[@guillermorojas9754]

A esta cámara le puedo poner un teleobjetivo 80-200 F 4.5- 5.6 ii ?

[@DavidHancock]

Eso depende de la lente. asegúrese de que la lente sea una montura Canon EF.

[@victorialouise875]

hi! i have a camera just like that and something has been happening, i was wondering if you could help. when i put the film inside the camera, the counter goes up only until 4, intead of 36. i have tried changing the film, but it happens to the other one too. it can take pictures normally tho. if you have any suggestions please let me know! thank you in advance :)

[@DavidHancock]

Sounds like the camera is broken. There may be a problem with the motor or with the automatic frame counter system, and I don't know which. Odds are the repair is more expensive than a new one.

[@victorialouise875]

@@DavidHancock ohh god, alright, i’ll try to see how much it would cost. thank you so much for the attention!!!

@@DavidHancock cevapladığınız için teşekkür ederim. Bunu cevaplamış olmanız bana bir soru daha sorma hakkı tanıdı :). İzninizle soruyorum. İlk defa fotoğraf makinesi alacağım ve maalesef kararsızım. Seçenekler: Canon EOS 650d/ Canon EOS 5000/ Canon EOS 1000/ Canon a1 Bunlar dışında da başka öneriniz varsa alabilirim. Sizce bunlardan hangisi daha kullanışlı ve daha öğretici olur. Not: KZbin çeviri başarılı olmadıysa ingilizce yazmaya çalışırım (goggle translate ile tabiki:)) )

[@DavidHancock]

Teşekkür ederim ve size bazı fikirler verebilirim. Listelediğiniz dört kameranın hepsi birbirinden çok farklı. Amacınız kullanımı kolay bir kameraya sahip olmak ve nasıl kullanılacağını düşünmemekse, 5000 mükemmel. Hata yapmanıza izin verecek ve size daha iyi bir fotoğrafçı olmayı öğretecek bir kameranız olsun istiyorsanız, Canon AT-1'e bakarım. Bu kamera tamamen manuel, kullanımı kolay ve AE-1'den daha az popüler olduğu ve genellikle makul fiyatlı olduğu için.

[@helinaydmirr]

@@DavidHancock çok teşekkür ederim:)
