As it says on the back, it's ISO, which combines the arithmetic ASA scale from America and the logarithmic DIN scale from Germany. On most film packages and cartridges from around 1980 and onward, the sensitivity of the film is indicated by two numbers, namely the ASA part and the DIN part, e.g. ISO 100/21, ISO 200/24 or ISO 400/27. The entire scale from ISO 12/12 to ISO 6400/39 is there. As you can see, when the ASA value doubles, the DIN value increases by three. ISO = DIN ASA 12 12 15 25 18 50 21 100 24 200 27 400 30 800 33 1600 36 3200 39 6400 42 12800 45 25600 48 51200 51 102400 54 204800 57 409600 60 819200 63 1638400 66 3276800 These are the "full" values, one f-stop or shutterspeed apart, but there are film types with intermediate sensibilities, like Ektachrome 40/17, Kodachrome 64/19, Ilford 125/22 etc. The slotted circle next to the rewind release button is the connector for the motor drive - when you advance the film manually, it will turn. What you call a cable release trigger port is a pc connector (pc stands for "prise co-axiale" or co-axial connector), which is used to connect studio flashes. The threaded hole under the lens release button is intended for a cable release (other cameras had it at the centre of the release button).

The part on the bottom you didn't know is also for the motor drive. It rotates that to advance the film. It's just the bottom of the film advance.

ASA and DIN are just other standards for film speed like ISO. ASA is American Standards Association, DIN is german stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung. Essentially the same thing as ISO but they all have their own arbitrary scales for film speed.

I'm a bit confused about the functionality of the Aperture Preview button. I've got the 50mm Minolta lens from the video and when I look through the viewfinder (without touching anything) I already see the depth of field in the scene... When I hold the Aperture Preview button, I seemingly get a sense of the lighting conditions that the aperture will afford me? Where one half of the inner-most circle in the viewfinder will turn black, and then lighten (to match the other half) as I change my aperture to, presumably, something more suitable for the scene. Is this different from what it's supposed to do? Because for some reason I can't seem to find any more detailed information about this function. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Can you change the lens while there is film in the camera? And is it safe to keep a lens off the camera in general while traveling with the camera?
@shoot_move_edit
Жыл бұрын
Hey Ashley. Yes, you absolutely can change out the lens with film in it. The shutter curtain is closed and the viewfinder mirror is closed preventing light from coming in. You can travel with the lens off as long as you have a body cap for the camera. This will prevent anything like dust or lint from getting in.

DIN numbers are the old European method of gauging film speed, or sensitivity to light. It is not standard to the American ASA system but the ISO method was an effort to standardize the two.

B is Bulb mode, meaning the shutter stays open for as long as the shutter is triggered. I would imagine it probably has something to the capacitors that are known for going bad.

The shutter keeps getting stuck open for a few seconds when my camera is on A mode and am not able to have it fixed as am away for a few days and unable to get it fixed. If I put my camera in P mode but not have the aperture on the green 16, will my photos be okay? I’m wanting to see if P mode will be able to compensate for A mode not working, if that makes sense

Where are you testing your A mode at? Also what is your aperture and ISO/ASA settings at? Your camera may be setting the shutter speed super slow if you are shooting in a relatively dark area such as indoors. Try A mode out in the daylight and see if the shutter operates faster.
