Anyone here in 2024?

[@gingerbart7402]

All I can say is, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have lost my book and everything I was taking pictures of was coming out blurry. I will save your video on my computer because my son's Prom pictures were no good. Thank you again.

I still have mine that I got in 2008. Lost the charger and forgot all about it until last week. It still works perfectly fine!

excellent thanks! I have recently purchased a second hand canon 1000D without a manual :( this has been helpful in the extreme :)

[@markjones8632]

Thanks for the video. I received this camera from eBay with no manual. This video cleared everything up for me and since I have taken a photography class I am already familiar with what iso, shutter speed, etc do for pictures,I just needed to know how to set these features. Thank you!

IS there any to add a video attachment to make videos with this camera Canon EOS 1000D / Digital Rebel XS DSLR

[@schmozzer]

Really useful. I have a Nikon D3400 but a friend has just bought a 2nd hand 1000D and he won't have a manual or look on KZbin probably so this was great for learning the basics.

[@paulnarramore5354]

I got my EOS1000d this afternoon and without a manual, and watching that video, 99% shot straight over my head. Lets hope practise makes perfect.

I have borrowed one of these from a friend so I don't have the manual. It would be really helpful if you could clarify which buttons you are pressing to change the manual settings.

hey I have a 1000D Canon dslr but so the focus is shifted when taking photographs when there is less light and that's what I'm using 50mm lens
