Film Point and Shoot Tips

[@metalfingersfilm]

Thanks to the wonderful reddit and KZbin community for the broll and footage; without you, it would be a much more boring video! Attribution correction; @ Benj Haisch from 3:40 and 3:47!

Understanding your closest focusing distance is top for me. It’s so easy to see a close up shot without realising your camera can’t actually capture it how you want. Great tips all round!

[@metalfingersfilm]

indeed! thanks for watching!

I recently ordered myself a Mju 1, and I've been binging a bunch of different videos. But this one has helped the most by far. Thanks a bunch!

[@metalfingersfilm]

Great to hear!

Funny you put the Grand Tetons as the first photo, I’m visiting Wyoming soon and just got my first point and shoot to bring with me. Thanks for the tips

On some point-and-shoot cameras you can actually half press the shutter button and the light will come on telling you that you've lost focus in while you're holding the button halfway down that you can recompose your image and press the button the rest of the way to take you. Sometimes the buttons on these cameras can be a little too sensitive. So I would practice without film in it if the camera lets you fire the shutter without film.

Any example of cameras that have this feature?

For macro shots, could you stand at a further distance and zoom in on the subject for a closer shot? Or would that not work?

love this vid!! i have been shooting film for a year now, but I still struggle with daylight pics without flash, they all come out blurry and I dont know why :(

[@nickkos6848]

If somebody knows where to develop and print from films in New Yrok city? Thankyou

[@pogolas]

Fabulous photos. Just ordered a Nikon L35 Af, and waiting for it to arrive.

[@metalfingersfilm]

hell yes! how has it been?

[@pdtech4524]

Good, useful tips! 👍

[@monksafari1706]

why didn't credited @Benj Haisch at 3:40 and 3:47?

[@metalfingersfilm]

totally missed it; lots of moving parts and I was rapidly trying to edit it; good catch though. I'll add a pinned comment.

Hello, i really want to to know more about who Iso used. I will travel for a month and i want to make photo of the nature/ outside. Do you really recommended iSO 800 for this type of scene?

[@metalfingersfilm]

If it's entirely bright days or using flash, then 50-160 if sunrise, overcast days, or sunset, then 400 if indoors, dark sunrise/sunset, then 800

@@metalfingersfilm tx for answers! Even for a Point and shoot?

[@metalfingersfilm]

@@mariadelsolgrandejimenez4447 yep, it shouldn't change too much from camera to camera! Can you shoot a test roll before you leave? that would give you an idea of the exposure settings

[@theoldunsshot1005]

Very good advice and great video production.

[@MidpackMania]

Great video, just picked up a couple point and shoots after mainly using a rangefinder the past couple years. Excited to see what I can get with them. Just followed on IG as well.
