Additional information to use the light meter you will need to have a battery and you need to set the iso dial

[@netanelyatsenko666]

Is the iso dial smooth or clickable?

[@hamesh5380]

@@netanelyatsenko666 when you rotate the dial it clicks

[@linux4samir]

You have to half push the shutter button then rotate the aperture ring . When both the upper and lower LED in the view finder is blinking it is the right exposure setting. Only lower LED lights means Unde Exposure and only Upper LED lights means Over Exposure. Both blinking simultaneously is Correct.

Wonderful and afordable SLR camera from the Soviet Union. My first SLR camera. Price was less than 1/3rd. of any cheapest Japanese SLRs. I purchased it at Kolkata in 1985/'86 for INR ₹1150/-

hey, thank you for the video. I wanted to ask what can I do if I just put a roll but the rewind knob isn't moving 😅 it's my first SLR camera

[@hamesh5380]

Please do try to hold the button in under the shutter button itself it’s a really tiny button in under the actual shutter button

[@hamesh5380]

Yes it does require batteries to get film you will need to purchase it maybe from shops or online stores

[@askarufus7939]

You need battery only for the additional stuff like Flash lamp or the light meter

The thing i look through is very dirty, and i dont know how to get in there, does this effect the fotos or only my vision?

[@hamesh5380]

If your viewfinder is dirty it’s only going to effect your sight but not your photos unless your lens is really scratched

[@matangox]

Can you adapt lens this to a Nikon D7000 or a Canon 5D mk3?

[@ZekaPilot]

Yes with the right m42 adapter. I use helios and many more m42 lenses on my canon eos 700d and it's beautiful!

[@tidjanibouraya15]

​@@ZekaPilotplease what m42 adapter do you use ? i have canon 700d with same helios lens with m42 adapter but it dosen't work well.

[@ZekaPilot]

@@tidjanibouraya15 I have m42 adapter for Canon EOS so check that yours is also fit for canon mount.
