i cant find the booklet that came with the camera.

my question is thus

how do you use the "B Setting" on a Canon EOS Rebel XS, i cant find it in ANY of the menus, or any combination of buttons or settings

edit: i need this for tomorrow, so if anyone could assist me, thatd be great

"B setting"

Never heard of it -.-

something akin to the b setting on a manual camera, the shutter stays open as long as you have the button pressed down

You mean "Bulb" setting? I'm assuming that's what it means...

B setting is like, however long you hold down the shutter button on the camera, is how long it will stay open. Wireless remotes are the best for this, to reduce camera shake. Other than that, it's pretty new to me as well.

b setting is how it has always been referred to around me, but yes, thats what it does.

cant exactly afford, or get, a wireless remote before tomorrow, i just need to know how to set the camera to do it

AAHH Yes.
B could = the BULB setting I guess.


Go into complete MANUAL mode.
Then keep bringing the shutter speed from 1>, 10>, 30>, BULB.
(BULB is the setting after a 30 second shutter speed)
