Hi! So what is the difference between self timer(press once after lever is down - shutter goes off after 10 sec) and pre-focus(press once to focus and then again after lever is down)? Is there a click sound or an indicator that reveals on which mode I'm on?
@FilmCameras2 жыл бұрын
No, there is no other indicator. It is almost the same. The difference is that by the time you press the shutter button for the 1st time, you have 10 seconds to pre-focus, otherwise it will fire as a self timer.

@FilmCameras2 жыл бұрын
You can use any 35mm film you want, but the ISO setting on this camera goes up to 400, so better not use anything above that, since you don't have control over speed or aperture. I would suggest the Ilford HP5 Plus or Kodak T-Max 400 black and white films which are cheap and easy to find. Regarding colour films, it depends on the colour tones and the aesthetic you want (and the price). Kodak Portra 400 is brilliant but expensive. Kodak ColorPlus 200 and Fujicolor C200 are very good and more affordable options. There's so much more and you can find reviews with samples online and on KZbin that can help you choose.

@FilmCameras3 жыл бұрын
The ISO is the film sensitivity to light. Large numbers mean brighter image. But in contrast to the digital cameras, in film cameras the ISO depends on the film roll you choose to put in your camera. For example, in this video I used 100 ISO film (1:08) so I set the ISO indicator on the Lens to 100 (1:50). This camera is automatic, so you need to set the ISO of the film to "tell" the camera how to calculate the exposure. If you set the ISO indicator to different value than the one on the film you are using, the photos will be wrongly exposed.

This autofocus is not as accurate and fast as in modern cameras. Make sure you perform all the actions as described in this video. The camera focuses only in the middle of your frame (the square in the viewfinder). Next be aware that this lens can't focus for subjects that are very close to the camera. Position your subjects a bit further. Finally, since it is an old camera, it is possible that the focus system is not working perfectly any more.

If the film counter moved when taking photos, there might be a counter problem when rewinding. Is the transport indicator ( 5:23 ) moving? If yes, the film should probably roll back ok. Keep rolling until the indicator stops moving. If not, there is a chance that the film snapped or was blocked at the end. In this case, after trying rewinding, open the camera, in total darkness, and feel with your hands if the film is still laid out or if it has rolled back in.

Blank film could result from various reasons. First of all are you certain that the film was proprerly caught in the sprockets? When advancing did you check if the film advance indicator was moving? Maybe the film never advanced in the first place. You can also check if there is a problem with the shutter. To do this open the back of the camera (without film inside), point the camera towards a light source and look through the back of the lens if you see the shutter opening and closing. Finally make sure you haven't loaded the film cassete up side down. The emulsion side of the film must face the lens.

Hi. Probably the two rewind switches are on. Check at 5:08 of this video. There is the bottom button and the switch on the top. I guess the button on the bottom is pushed in, in your camera. In order to rewind the film, it also means that the rewind switch on the top is pulled. Normally, this switch has a spring and you need to hold it with your finger so as to rewind (like in the video). In your case it might be stuck, so you have to push it to the right (against the arrows). After doing this, press the shutter release button (the one you take photos with), to unlock the bottom rewind button. For all this you'll need to have batteries in the camera. No need to have film inside.

The self-timer works as in the video: first you move the lever and then you press once the shutter release button. If after about 10 seconds the self-timer lever doesn't return back to position, or if the photo is taken when you press the shutter release button, then the self-timer must be broken and might need repair. Try testing it without film inside in order not to waste films. See if the pre-focus feature works as well (it uses the same lever, see 3:42 in this video). Note that self-timer and pre-focus differ only in the fact that in pre-focus you press the shutter release button a 2nd time within the 10 seconds time frame limit.

You can still try it without film. Just make sure you have new batteries loaded and if everything works like in this video, you can load film and take photos.

Indeed there seems to be difficult to find a specific price for this camera, especially in sites like ebay. It could be reasonable to give around 60$ but in flea markets you can find it much cheaper.

Does this camera only have 24 exposures though? I had my portra 400 with 36 exposures in but it stopped at 24? Did I load it in bad or is it just the limit of the cam?

Hey I just got camera off eBay and everytime I take a picture the zone focus scale lands on landscape (the last option) and idk it I’m doing something wrong or if the Camera is defective. I tried shooting super up close and getting portrait shot yet it still marks it as landscape. Is this something that can be overlooked, fixed, or do I have to return it. Please help!!

@FilmCameras3 жыл бұрын
Hi! I've never heard of this problem. There could be a small chance that the focus scale in the view finder is broken and that the lens is working properly, but you need to test with film. But most probably there is something wrong with the focus in general. Ask the seller or take the camera to a repair shop to give you an opinion. It might be something easy and cheap to fix, but if there is a serious problem, you should return it and ask for a refund.

hello! what if i want to use the 800 lomography film? the highest i can set the ASA is to 400
@FilmCameras Жыл бұрын
Hi. Unfortunately the ASA setting on this camera goes only up to 400. So if you use a 800 ASA film, your images will not be correctly exposed. Since this is an automatic camera you can't do much. What you can do is "pull" the film during development for about -1 stop. But I'm not sure if it is going to have nice results in color film. But your 800 ASA film might give you nice results in dark or night situations, but make sure not to use the flash.

@FilmCameras3 жыл бұрын
Don't have that one. But the 2 is almost identical but slightly improved in some features, like the ISO dial for example. They also have slightly different lens but not a big deal. Overall they both have the same functions. The 2 has some small improvements but the 1 has more "historical" value. Apart from that it depends on the condition and the price you'll find them.

Yes, the Canon AF35ML has a different system. You just pull the tip of the film across, past the orange marker and when you make sure the perforations of the film fit the sprockets, close the back and when you activate the camera it will automatically take up the film.

I just got this camera at a thrift store for $5. I put batteries and film in it. The film winds but the shutter never changes from 'S' and will not let me take a photo. I click and nothing happens. Does anyone have any advice? thank you in advance!!
@FilmCameras4 жыл бұрын
Not sure. But you can have a look at the following: 1. Check the rewind button-pin on the bottom (5:08) maybe it is stuck in pressed-in position. 2. Check if the self timer lever has stuck in horizontal position (4:25) 3.If it won't let you take a photo and the film is wound up, then maybe the film was taken up in a wrong way. Try removing the film and test the camera without a film. Normally it should work properly. If none of these work, then you should probably take it for repair.
@marianaalzate31324 жыл бұрын
The same thing happens to mine. I think it's not the film that winds, it's the rewind button wich is stuck. I've already tried to force it with some tweezers (maybe not the best idea haha) but it didn't work so you could try the same or take the camera to a repair shop. Since it's not an electric problem it should be cheap i think and not that hard to fix. Hope you or someone can fix it, is a very nice camera. Xo

Make sure you follow the steps you see in 5:01 of this video. If this doesn't work, change the batteries with new ones and try again. If nothing happens then there might be a problem with the rewind mechanism. What you can do is open the camera back *in total darkness* (!) and try pulling it out gently. Do not force it if it won't come out because it may snap. If you can't do anything, take it to a photography shop and ask for help removing it. If the proceedure is done in complete darkness you won't loose your photos.
