Yes, I'm sure you can. It's not really a camera problem in your situation, it's the location.
Head somewhere where there is no light pollution and somewhere south. Contrary to the northern lights, the milky way will be somewhere in the south of the sky. Use a mobile app to pinpoint Sagittarius, since it's kinda in the center of the milky way. Shoot there.
You will need a tripod, remote shutter release(pede rasad i timer to prevent vibrations). Manually set everything. Set your cam to your widest focal length, biggest aperture and open the shutter at least 30s to 90s.

a 3.5 lens can be tricky. you will want to get a 1.8 or f2.8 lens because you need to lessen exposure time (longer exposure creates star trails, you wont want that in a milky way shot). set wide open, high ISO (at least 1000), and ideally less than 20s exposure for a 2.8 lens (maybe around 30s for a 3.5 lens, though it may start to blur as the stars move). here's one i took using a tamron 17mm 2.8 https://flic.kr/p/vd7jUU
and yes, the lesser light pollution the better. try in the outskirts of moalboal or badian, or even sa trans highway and look for a spot that has a clear view of the western skies. good luck!
Ako gi try ay. Newbie here!

Bro, I haven't tried it but I think you can capture it. In the city, it is difficult because there are a lot of light sources that would interfere with your LONG EXPOSURE.
You will need a STABLE TRIPOD. You'll need to make sure you use a REMOTE TRIGGER. If you do not have one, use the SELF TIMER.
Try shooting on a clear sky in a dark area. Away from light posts or other light sources. try to start shooting:
- >F/13 (cguro sa kit lens maayu cya between f/13 - f/18?)
- ISO 100
- > 30 secs
- **Adjust settings as necessary after each attempt
Don't shoot HIGH ISO because it will introduce a lot of noise. Don't shoot WIDE OPEN because the DOP is very shallow and the resulting photo will not be that sharp.
I would recommend using remote shutter in BULB mode.

Thanks sa mga suggestions. Actually last week ni adto me alegria overnyt, i've downloaded an app na mu measure sa light pollution dri sa cebu. minimal ra kaau ang light pollution didto, the thing is, ga uwan man nuon hahaha. sayang wala nku na try ug capture. maybe next time f mka laag na pd ku sa south (hoping dli mag uwan) ma capture na jd naku, but until f/3.5 rman jd aq lens hmmm.
meaning boss, lisod jd d i cya e capture f F/3.5 ang lens or d jd ma capture?

Thanks sa suggestion. But murag d man cguro ma kaya sa ISO 100 boss, unzay pinaka max na ISO na dili pa halata kaau ang noise?

Nice boss, mga pila ni ka seconds ang shuttle ani? and ang ISO niya?

Thanks sa link boss. pwo murag taas naman kaau ang 90s grabi na cguro ang star trail niya.
focusing distance negates DOP even with the lens wide open. the subject here is lightyears away, not a model whose nose is a few feet from you. set to manual focus then infinity. [br][/br]if you intend to shoot a MILKY WAY at more than 30 secs then follow the 500 rule, otherwise you WILL have star trails. 500 rule: "500 Divided By the Focal Length of Your Lens = The Longest Exposure (in Seconds) Before Stars Start to “Trail” For example; let’s say you’re taking a shot with a 24mm lens on a full frame camera. 500 / 24 = 21 seconds, which you can round to 20 seconds."[br][/br]as i said, tricky but not impossible. the conditions just have to be right. it will mostly likely take several trial and errors in different spots before you get a shot that satisfies you. what's your camera make again? if you can go as high as 1600 ISO without significant noise go for it. mine was a D90 shooting at 1600 ISO, the noise was terrible so i lost a lot of detail. -_-
