i love that people are getting back into disposable cameras!! i remember having to take them on school trips as a kid because i wasn’t trusted with the family camera lmao

[@MasterWoof371]

A lot of films will actually have the colour on the casing of what colours will be stronger in the photos. Like the Kodak casing has a yellow casing and the fuji green. I know iflord may do it for their film too.

[@irenec3520]

This was insightful, lowkey wanna buy one now

[@natalierousch7928]

I have recently discovered several different film cameras I have been given from family members through the years. I have always had a fascination with filming and cameras in general. I loved them when I was a kid and my parents took our VHS camcorder to the beach :) My favorite memories growing up involve having a disposal camera on hand. My family and I would buy a pack of Kodaks and take them everywhere! I love looking through the physical copy of a photo rather than always scrolling through my phone. I love the nostalgia I experience when looking through a box of old family pictures and reliving the memory just a bit ❤

[@anniel1372]

Aww couldn't have been put in nicer words! I also love the sense of nostalgia that is evoked from an album of photos or a video recording that forever preserves a moment of the past! There is something so magical about them 💫

[@samanthacelest]

Kind of ironic because the Kodak is yellow and the Fuji is green lol

Love a fellow aussie film shooter 🥰 if you like the disposable look and easy, grab one of rhe reusable "disposable" cameras. Then you can just but any roll of film you want and get that roll developed by a smaller place for arpund $13 aud And less waste. Harmen makes one from memory 😋

@@alissayourbee3591 if you're talking about a digital copy of the photos, you can ask the place you get your photos developed to scan them for you, which may cost extra however.

[@holaallyssa]

Asking for an advice Do we need to turn the camera on everytime we take photos using kodak funsaver and fujifilm? How about if its outdoor and indoor? What would you guys suggest? I hope you'll answer

[@anniel1372]

You don't need to turn the camera on, you simply have to to turn the dial before you want to take a photo. As for indoors and outdoors, there isn't much difference apart from using flash - which is dependent on wether if you have sufficient natural lighting. Hope that helps! :))

[@user-xb5rl6wt5j]

Thanks for this video! Just bought a couple of Fujifilm disposable cameras for my upcoming holiday to Greece! Quick question, so of course always have flash on at night, but what about during the daytime? What’s the difference between flash vs no flash in daytime photos with shooting people or shots of the scenery?

[@joshuabarnes9700]

I wish someone would answer this

[@daniellehernandez2555]

usually in daylight (not cloudy) you can take it w/o flash cuz there's sufficient light but some use flash in daylight if the subject is against the light. personally in broad daylight i use no flash

[@lifesucksanyways]

Do you recommend using flash all the time? Even indoor or in day light?

[@anniel1372]

I would say if it’s outdoors on a bright day then it’s alright to not have flash on, but indoors I would recommend most of the time to have flash on, unless it’s super well lit with lots of natural lighting. Then it shouldn’t be too much of an issue if you don’t have flash on! Hope that helps :)

having flash outside shouldn't affect your photos too much unless your subject is really close to the camera, so don't stress :)

[@trinity7064]

Does it make a noise when you take a photo? I press the button but hear no noise so I don’t know if it worked

[@anniel1372]

Generally I think that depends on the camera, because i know that the kodak fun saver makes a small click sound but the fujifilm waterproof quicksnap doesn't. But if you're ever in doubt, if you have winded properly, clicked and need to wind again for the next photo, it will have most likely worked. Also if you're using flash, and the flash goes off as you press to take the photo, then that should also mean it's good!

[@shana200]

absolutely no hate at all, but you don’t need to hold down the flash until the light turns on. just press it once and wait a few seconds and you’re good! love the video by the way!!!

Ahhh that’s definitely quite annoying to experience that, but don’t worry that’s happened to me way too many times before too T^T

[@1DerfulHazza]

So for the kodak camera would you recommend ALWAYS taking the photos with flash or just when it's a little dark?
