SOURCE: how to take action shots with the canon rebel xs

There is an action shot setting on the wheel on the top of the camera. If you want to manually control the camera:
-Raise ISO -Select Tv mode (shutter priority mode) -Select a fast shutter speed -Manual focus on what you want to take -Take multiple pictures so one will be good

Check if the battery is fully charged. you may try resetting the Camera to the factory settings. If the issue persists, try power resetting the Camera. To power reset, remove the battery of the Camera and press and hold the power button for 30 seconds and reinsert the battery after one minute and check the operation. If the issue still persists, the service is required.

SOURCE: have canon rebel xs ,

If this is a Canon Rebel XS there is no memory card in a 35mm film camera If this is a Rebel XSi then generally this error is caused by the memory card lock switch here is a diagram to show the correct orientation of this switch

Diagram

Also after you have unlocked the card you should format the memory card in the camera it is going to be used in. Failing to do so may produce other errors and possibly corrupt pictures and files Formatting clean the memory card to produce optimum performance between the camera and card

Canon rebel XS error 99

Instead of taking out the battery, just open and close the battery compartment to reset the camera.

SVRGuy02 is right, set the slep time longer to avoid the issue so much and just open and close the battery compartment before beginning each shooting exercise
