hi, new guy here. Canon eos rebel t2

[simply_dave]

Just recieved a new canon eos rebel t2 yesterday. Already shot a whole roll of film. Pretty nice camera, never used one before. But i have one question. I noticed that it is set for single shot in the LCD window. But if you press the button for more than a split second it continues to shoot.
Is there a way to turn this off?? Or do i just need to relax on the button pushing?

Is that single shot auto focus or the film advance? They aren't the same thing. To change the film advance, look for the self-timer/advance button. That's usually somewhere around the LCD on Canon SLRs. You would hold that down and turn the exposure dial near the shutter release.

I'm not actually sure if your camera offers different auto focus modes. But if it does, single shot in the LCD might refer to that. If that's what it is, then it locks the AF when you press the shutter release halfway. The other options are AI Servo and another one that I can't remember the name of. AI Servo is predictive, continuous AF which will stay active as long as you have the shutter release button depressed.

You said the camera is new. You do have the manual, right? It's good to read those
