Taking pictures is made easier by the built-in light meter. The exposure meter is designed for 35 mm film from ISO 25 to ISO 5000. The camera reads the DX code of the film cartridge and adjusts the exposure meter accordingly. The exposure meter is designed to measure the exposure through the camera lens. The aperture and exposure time are set automatically by the camera if desired. The aperture and exposure time can also be freely set by the photographer.
A bulb mode is available for long exposures. A built-in flash is available for taking pictures in insufficient light. According to the instructions, the power of the flash reaches up to 12 meters. An external flash can be connected to the Hot Shoe. The Canon EOS Rebel G has a self-timer and a tripod thread.

Films for the Canon EOS Rebel G
The Canon EOS Rebel G uses 35mm film according to the operating instructions. This type of film is still in production and can be processed by most photo labs without any problems. One possibility for b/w pictures is Kodak TRI-X 400*, a possible film for color pictures is Kodak Ultramax 400*.
Colour negative film is developed in the C-41 development process. This development process is offered by most laboratories. For example, you can give your films to most drugstores for development.
The panorama function pushes two bars into the picture and thus creates the look of a panorama. It is more a gimmick than a real extension.
