Anyone know how to work a Canon Rebel K2?
I’ve had this camera for a few months, and when ever i take pictures it is a hit or miss.
Sometimes the pictures i take are very bad, with blurs, and red orange streaks on the pictures. other times the pictures i take are amazing, but i forget what settings use
Here are my photos please help me decipher what setting is with what picture.

huh… I think you’ve got some good looking work going on there.
What’s the complaint?
The best thing I can say, being unfamiliar with Canon’s, is to consult your manual. Also try a more specialized site to ask this question on.
@robmandu Thank you so much man, but i wanted to know how i got those pictures, i randomly put the camera on a setting and shoot, its a hit or miss.
Each photo file has “metadata” stored along with the image that should include all the settings you used. You need a site or app that will let you look at it. Anyone know if flickr gives access to metatdata?
Please post a URL of a picture you are unsatisfied about and I can review better what the problem is. (It will most likely not be the camera’s problem though ;) )
Unfortunatly the pictures don’t contain meta data because its a film camera, the metadata that comes with it contains the data of the machine that scanned it. but i think i’m just going to use the cameras auto setting for my next roll to see if that was it
What you are looking for is a basic photography course more or less. It should not take more than 30mins to read up on the settings on that camera. Same as on all the other cameras out there. Learn what aperture and shutter speed is as well as the ASA/ISO speed of the film you are intending to use. The choice of film is very important and determines the results you get when you print as well as the lab you are using to develop.
For full control, try to shoot in the Av mode on the camera instead of the auto mode. That wawy you control the aperture manually and lets the camera decide a proper shutter speed. A nice way to work. Make sure you check focus (you don’t mention which lens is on there).
Good luck
@HeNkiSdaBro ok, i have a 28–80mm macro lens, and if i shoot in av mode, how do i know what the arpeture setting goes with what lighting
In Av mode, the camera light meter automatically balances the shutter speed for you. Whichever aperture setting you use, the exposure will remain the same. In the M mode, manual, you lock both these two settings in manually whihc means that the exposure will look different in different lighting setups. The camera does not help you in this mode.
@henkisdabro Aha! thank you for breaking it down so much,
