How do I use open exposure with my Canon EOS Rebel G film camera?

<p>Is it possible to take an open exposure shot with my Canon EOS Rebel G film camera? If so, how? I can't find a manual for the camera.</p>

<p>Do you mean a “Bulb” exposure?</p>

<p>YES you can. I have an EOS 500N.</p>

<p>Select Manual Camera Mode (“M” on the Command Dial) and then turn the shutter speed to the on point beyond 30” – that will indicate ‘bulb’.The camera’s curtains and mirror will remain open for exposure, whilst the shutter is held depressed.</p>

<p>Also, (viewed from the rear – as you hold the camera), on the RH side of the camera on edge of the grip, there is a little hole and there should be a little cover you can pop out: that is a female connection for a Remote Release (RS 60E3). It is better to use that remote release, because the remote release has a locking mechanism, so you don’t have to keep the (remote) shutter release button, depressed with your finger. </p>

<p>WW, precisely. I have the same camera too. Been a while since I used it, but that's how I used to do it...</p>

<p>Mine also had an eyepiece cover on the camera strap to prevent light seeping in from that.</p>

<p>... It is better to use the remote release (also ;-) ) because your hand will not be in direct contact with the camera, helping greatly to prevent camera shake.</p>

<p>haha! yes and yes to both, also. </p>
