Super helpful! Best video I’ve seen about the f9. Thank you!

Glad it helps

Hi! I'm planning to buy my first film camera, but I'm torn between this (f9) and M38. Can you suggest which of the two should I get?

[@8storeytree]

sorry missed the comment somehow. Probably the f9. though they are pretty similiar in terms of specs. ishootfilm.sg/?p=496

[@toothlessd1541]

@@8storeytree no worries sir, I take note of your suggestion. And thank you for responding.

[@emiee.]

thank you it helped me a lot! But should I activate the flash for each photo or only at night?

[@gloupconnor8803]

Nice Video. How do I keep track of how many shots are left to take?

[@8storeytree]

there's a film counter on the top. it's really indicative to let u know estimately how many shots u've taken.

[@nrjnflrs]

I just bought mine and this video is super helpful thank you! 😊

[@christinelawrence7250]

Hey! Thanks for the video. Would you suggest using the flash every time you take photos? Or only indoors? When I used a disposable camera this summer, some of my outdoor ones were dark so I’m wondering if this one will be the same way.

[@8storeytree]

it really depends on the situation. outdoor/sunny/not under shelter shdn't be dark. it's really more of getting used to knowing the conditions and when to use flash. U may also try higher ISO films.

[@xoxoxoxoxoo]

Hey i just received mine today. May i ask how will i know if the film is ready to shoot?

[@8storeytree]

as long as it's loaded properly.

[@katrinaguerrero3732]

Hi! Just curious to ask! When advancing for the first photo, will it also stop if it's ready for a shot? I've seen comments here regarding the second shot but is it the same for the first one as well? :3

[@8storeytree]

Yep it will stop as eell

[@mimilyjw]

Hii newbie hereee, i want to know if i can use it again even after i have finish the first roll. Means that i have to buy the second roll.

[@8storeytree]

yep. it can be reloaded.

[@jemapelleeda]

hi, just asking, between m35 and f9, which one do you recommend more???

[@8storeytree]

Probably the f9. though they are pretty similiar in terms of specs. ishootfilm.sg/?p=496

Hi I just bought one and the flash does not work. Ive tried several differnt batteries I was wondering if you know of any remedies, thanks.

[@CalvinChang911]

Hey Great Video, Just Got My Self a New One, 1 Question, When I'm Just Take 1 Or 2 Pics, Do I Need To Keep Take It Until It End Or I Can Just Leave It And Use It Next Day Or Whenever I Want Next Time ?

[@8storeytree]

oh. u can keep it and use it another time, not necessary to finish the film right away.

[@CalvinChang911]

I see, thanks@@8storeytree

[@youisthisshireal]

Nice can i ask how many picture can you take when using these? And how do you do it the second time do you need to rewind it back or it just outomatically swith for the second picture

[@8storeytree]

depending on the film, usually 36, 24, 12 exposures. u won't be able to advance further once you've reached the next frame

[@youisthisshireal]

Thanks

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

So if I understand this correctly, I have to manually advance the film after each shot, and the red LED is an indicator, that the camera is ready to take a photo?

[@8storeytree]

yes. u'd have to wind after every shot. no, the light is a flash ready indicator. if u're not using the flash, it won't light up.

[@solmartinez6750]

so helpful -- thank you thank you!

[@jinx1034]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering if you had any 35mm film recommendations for this camera. Does it matter much?

[@8storeytree]

shop.8storeytree.com/collections/35mm probably a 400-800 film.

[@Pauperkid98]

Hello! I just happened to buy my own Ultra F9 Kodak camera. I used the whole film but after using the whole film. It turned out to be blank once I checked it. Is this normal or do I have to process it in a Photo lab so the images on film becomes clearer?

[@8storeytree]

films will have to be processed at a lab before images appear. exposing the film to light before that will ruin the film.

[@Kinguuu-1]

I just bought a camera and I'm using the first film roll. May I ask if it's normal that when I turn the advance lever, I still feel tension but the rewind knob doesn't turn as much? Sometimes it doesn't turn at all, but the film counter still increases. Is this okay? Thank you so much

[@8storeytree]

as long as you can advance to the next frame it shd be fine. sometimes, the negative in the canister is loose, therefore the rewind knob doesnt turn with it until after a few frames. alternatively, u can tighten the film by turning the rewind knob slightly, then advance, it shd move.

[@mariahvong7]

does the film counter grow? so it would be the opposite of a disposable camera?

[@8storeytree]

yes. the number increases

[@paranoialive9064]

hi!! just got this camera as a present and we seem to be doing everything right but it won’t take the pictures any suggestions

[@paranoialive9064]

nvm

[@8storeytree]

ok

[@playground2173]

Hey some questions: My counter sets back to s after every picture, does it still take pictures? The rewind knob does only turn slightly and if already taken a few pictures and it doesn’t start to turn more. Does that have an effect? The rewind knob ist also pretty loose, it wiggles at the slightest touch, does that have any consequences on the film? Would be great if you could help out.

[@8storeytree]

if ure able to advance to the next frame, it shd be fine. the film may be loose in the film canister, therefore the rewind knob is loose. a couple more turns, it shd tighten.

How many time do u have to turn after shooting a picture? Or turn till it stops?

[@8storeytree]

til it stops.

[@justineanneco]

hii! just wanna ask which is better between ultra f9 and i60? thanks!!

[@8storeytree]

think it's really difficult to determine 'better'. it's more of a preference. shop.8storeytree.com/blogs/information/choosing-a-film-camera

[@Jxricho]

How can you tell how many shots you have left on a film roll

[@8storeytree]

total exposure of the film minus the film counter = estimate.

[@dilloncooney8319]

@@8storeytree what if my counter just resets to s everytime i take a picture?

[@udonsukidesu]

Hello I'm a newbie here,considering to buy this from a sec hand shop but the flash can't be use,is it worth it cus the pics can only be taken at bright place

[@8storeytree]

probably better to have a properly working camera to start off with.

[@johnballejo3905]

Yo, do you know which one is better? Ektar H35 or the Ultra f9?😅😅

[@8storeytree]

The main difference is that 1 is a half frame camera, other isnt. Besides that they are pretty similiar, so it really depends on ur preference.

[@ongeeqing6981]

Hello! I would like to ask when you're using this camera, is the rewind knob turning as much as the advance lever? Mine can't seem to turn as much and I'm kinda worried about it. Besides, after a shot, is it normal for my rewind knob not to stay in place? It is loose for mine. Thanks🌼

[@8storeytree]

It's fine. sometimes the film in the canister is just loose and doesnt turn as much.

best to narrow down the issues is by looking at the negatives. shop.8storeytree.com/blogs/information/identifying-issue-on-the-negatives

[@dafinahnazurah8367]

hi im new to digital cam. After taking a photo, how to transport the photo to my phone?

[@8storeytree]

as in film camera? 😅 you'd have th develop your film at a lab and have them scanned as softcopies.

[@azizulabdulaziz7781]

Can i switch it off or do i just leave it like that

[@8storeytree]

switch off the flash.

[@MickeyScream]

My crank doesn't rotate when I wind the picture, but it still appears to be winding. Is there a reason for that?

[@8storeytree]

the negative may be loose in the canister in the initial advance. probably a few more advances, the rewind knob will turn.

[@lonnieevans9200]

thanks for this tutorial! I do have a question. when I loaded and advanced the film the rewind knob didn't turn. and I saw in another that its not good to open the door once the film is in. will my pictures still come out clear if the film wasn't put in properly? or what can I expect?

[@8storeytree]

The film in the canister is probably loose, therefore, rewind knob not turning much in the initial advances. It shd be fine if the shutter button can be triggered. More to understand what I meant by loose film in the canister. kzbin.infoahm-Y3XcvKY?feature=share

As in the rewind button? It's fine, u can advance again and continue shooting. Though some of the photos may overlap (double exposure).

How do u see the photos tho?(after u have taken them)

You'd have to develop the film first at a lab.
