SeattleSpeedster Goldmember  More info | Nov 16, 2010 14:44 | #1 So I got this Rebel 300D for a friend on CL for $100 then free because I couldnt get it to expose shots even close to correctly unless I used flash or ISO 1600. Basically it gives me black shots otherwise. Any ideas of what to do with it?

jwcdds Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 16, 2010 14:46 | #2 Check to see if there's any exposure compensation dialed in. It might be tweaked/pinned at the left (-2 stops?). I don't have a Rebel but I assume that you can still dial in exposure compensation in Av/Tv modes. Julian

Nov 16, 2010 14:48 | #3 Its centered for exposure. I also did a hard reset and cleared all functions.

TeamSpeed 01010100 01010011  More info | Nov 16, 2010 15:52 | #8 Looks like metering is shot, you most likely will only be able to use this in M mode, hopefully. Past Equipment | My Personal Gallery

On a similar thought process... I'm curious if in "M" mode it meters correctly at all?

Could also be used as a big paperweight or small door stop if Manual mode does not work out. Bless the recently fallen and their family and friends.

Nov 16, 2010 16:24 | #12 When you use the flash is the picture better because the shutter speed is limited to 1/200 or because metering works for ETTL ? Adrian My Flickr

I wondered that too, but figured if the sensor was obstructed the system would tend to over-expose, not under-expose.

Nov 16, 2010 17:18 | #15 Ok it works well in M mode....funny because its for a new photographer who knows nothing so now she gets to learn in M mode which is great.
