I still have mine that I bought back in 1986. It is still in excellent condition on a display shelf in my living room. No plans to sell it as it was my first SLR camera and has a nostalgic value to me.

Arnel Vlog, on my F301 the shutter does not open if the back is open, just take the lens off and hold the camera so a bright light is shining into the front of the camera, choose a slow speed and press the shutter button, if you can see the film pressure plate then the shutter is open. The shutter is made of horizontal metal bands, the film pressure plate is one single metal plate with no horizontal lines.

Thanks! In the P and Phi modes you first set the aperture to minimum to set the mechanism and afterwards the camera will automatically operate it to the appropriate values each time. It is the full auto mode.

What do you mean by this camera not being digital ? It provides you with a reading if you manually set the iso that does not match the original, it;s still going to provide you with an appropriate exposure reading.
@FilmCameras
Жыл бұрын
By "not digital" I mean that the ISO setting doesn't have the same function as in a DSLR. In a Digital SLR you can freely change the ISO at any time to change the sensor's sensitivity. In analog SLRs like this one, instead of the sensor, there is the film, which has a standard ISO that cannot be changed, unless you change the film itself. "Digital" doesn't have to do with the ISO recognition feature of this camera, which you are correct it is a digital feature. But this camera as a whole, regarding the mean of taking a photo, is analog, since it uses film.

I thought changing the ISO (likes setting it to 200 while using a 400 film) gives me the ability to overexpose by +1 stop. I'm new to film photography but that is what I have understood from watching other youtube videos. Could you please clarify?
@FilmCameras
3 жыл бұрын
If your film camera has any sort of automatic mode, then you can indeed tweak the ISO setting to adjust the exposure. But most of these cameras have the "exposure compensation" (see 09:36) which gives the ability to precisely over-or under-expose by full or half stops. Tweaking the ISO depends on the ISO scale each camera has and it is not always easy to calculate the stops. That is why they always have the exposure compensation dials. Keep in mind that in contrast to the digital cameras, changing the ISO setting or the compensation does not of course alter the film sensitivity, but change either the shutter speed or the aperture (depending on the priority settings you have). In digital cameras, by changing the ISO you change the sensor's "sensitivity", thus the noise (it is like changing film).

Hello! I hope you can help me with this "problem". I thrifted this camera recently, it had a 28mm lens with it. Everything is working fine, except when I try to focus an image, it doesn't look like the one in the video. It's not completely blurry but non completely on focus either. I read that it might be a problem of the glass inside but when I checked everything looks fine and as the other cameras. I don't know if this helps or is relevant, but the red indicators inside are perfectly focused. What do you think it could be? Thank you!

Hi! Focusing might not look always very sharp as in the video. I think that your camera must be fine. You will be sure only when you test it with film. I don't think you'll have any problems.

The previous owner may have been a eyeglass wearer and fitted a diopter correction lens on your camera’s eyepiece. Check to see if that lens is present. It would be a small device attached to the eyepiece on the outside of the camera. If there, remove it.

It should have reset automatically. If it was stuck at 9 all the time you were taking photos it is probably broken. It is supposed to go back to "0" every time you open the back door. You can test if it is working even without film inside.

I dont want a compact camera. ı want to learn all settings. also ı dont have much money cause ı am a student and this camera is coast 500 liras which is an average price for a film camera in Turkey considering a dispsable camera might coast at least 80-90 liras. Well that's all ı wanna say. ı will be waiting for a response from you. Have a good day and be healthy!

Hi! Yes, this camera is very good for beginners, because it has full auto modes and also the automatic ones. But you need to make sure the one you buy is in good condition and has no problems (for example check the auto functions, the shutter curtains, the signals in the viewfinder etc). Since this camera has interchangeable lenses, if you can't afford buying many, make sure to choose a lens that fits your requirements. For example you can have a standard 50mm one or find a zoom lens like the 35-70mm lens you see on this video. If the camera you buy is without a lens, there are many other compatible lenses from other companies that are cheaper than Nikon lenses. But you need to *make sure* that they are compatible with the mount type of this camera and its autofocus system.
