Try a fresh battery.

Thank you gregory, I used fresh batteries, both for flash and camera. The upper part of the film is dark and lower is exposed for semi manual operation

Okay, simplest way wasn't it. By semi manual, do you mean aperture/shutter priority, you pick one and the camera picks the other. As opposed to the camera picking shutter and aperture? Is half the picture coming out even when outside and no flash is needed at all? Is half the picture coming out only with flash? And have you gotten any that were totally unexposed when shooting outside in daylight?

1. Recently I took 24 shot film and shoot all 24. out of which only 4 was exposed. The equipment is with new batteries. In one when there is no flash it top half dark and lower half nicely exposed. 2. when shutter speed is 15 or 20 I got the 3 pictures right. when it showed 125 or more the film was not exposed(the negative is plain not even dark). This is applicable in automatic or aperture/shutter priority. Does the camera need repair?

All the EOS Rebels (2000, Ti, G II, etc.) has a maximum sync speed at 1/90. Any shutter speed faster than that will expose only part of the negatives. Also make sure the flash is compatible with the camera. Hope this helps.

If these are taken in daylight, without flash being needed nor used, then you have something wrong with your camera. If you want to see at which shutter speed things go wrong, you can get the cheapest roll of film you can find, go out in the day time and shoot one picture at the slowest shutter speed you can, then get one step faster with each shot after that. Get the negatives developed without prints, cause you don't need prints, and see which shuttter speed things get messed up.
