Minolta Maxxum STSI Operation

This camera is in fully working condition with no major flaws or mechanical issues. I have demonstrated the flash, auto focus lens mode, and the shutter blades on the inside of the camera. I noticed that the lens had a fingerprint smudge that I will remove before I ship the camera out. Other things to note are the paint smudge on the back of the camera, and that the body cap has ridges that block the lens hood from being inserted onto the Camera. You can only install one lens protection at a time.

Perfect video! Just found one second hand in great condition so I have to test it out

[@LeaBerry1d]

i lost the battery cap to mine and cant figure out if thats why it wont turn on😭

[@maxcoolkillergarcia9356]

What type of battery’s did you use was it a CR2

[@gingerking3039]

Hi, should i be able to see through the viewfinder even if i haven't loaded the batteries yet? Upon looking, my viewfinder is totally black even though the lens isn't covered

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

Yes. These cameras have optical view finders. Even if there isn't a lens installed, you should be able to see through the view finder window.

[@gingerking3039]

@@PhotographerPhilosophy I uninstalled the lens, and i was able to see through it but everything was blurry 😅 are my lens broken since i cant see thrugh the viewfinder with them intalled? Btw thanks for answering!

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

@@gingerking3039 you need to load the batteries for the lens autofocus to engage. The viewfinder should not be blurry unless your lens is set to manual focus

Do these automatically rewind the film? Mine reached 36, but I don’t want to open it up and ruin my last few pictures

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

These should. If not, there is a little button that can be pressed with a pin that will rewind it for you. This should be on the back of the camera, the graphic looks like a rewind button that you would find on a remote

[@SomeUnremarkableGuy]

That's the last picture. If you press shutter button again it will rewind immediately.

[@anonymousraccoon420]

Lol I came to see how to turn the flash off but u didn’t show it in frame, do you know how I do this?

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

I do not think you can turn the flash off on this model.

I just bought this camera and lens from Goodwill outlet bins for $1.35 (yes I said, $1.35) but I haven't tested it yet because the batteries was dead, so I'll take it to Houston Camera exchange camera store next week to do so. 📸 🎞

[@SomeUnremarkableGuy]

Any chances to do similar video on 7xi?

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

Unfortunately I do not currently have a 7xi.

[@edgarlara3161]

@@edgarlara3161that’s a digital mirrorless camera, perhaps one day but I mainly sell film cameras on my eBay store.

You tell what you're doing but move camera out of view

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

Yes I will work on that. The way I have my camera set up I can’t see what I’m doing. Apologies. Perhaps I can explain what I am doing to help you

[@vectro242]

This video is terrible. What does ISO mean? You need to explain things an quit taking the camera out of frame when you do things. frustrating.

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

Unfortunate that you have to leave negative comments. ISO is a basic photography term. Google is a great tool for when you don't know things. I would have answered your question but because of the negativity of your comment I will not help you. A lot of people seem to get help from this video. Sorry that you can't be more nice.

[@rOxxieloveseminem98]

No matter what I click mine is still showing 400 and a flashing 0 on the right . What does that mean 🥲

[@PhotographerPhilosophy]

Hello, that probably means some sort of electrical problem or internal issue. Your camera is most likely broken.
