Sorry about that! I forgot to get a manicure before this video 😁😁

Unfortunately if you can not get focus at all that means the camera is broken. I have another Canon camera that has the same issue I cannot get it to focus at close or far distances. These older cameras weren't really made to be fixed, so you should be on the lookout for a replacement on eBay 👍

Actually these settings are valid for many in the power shot series. Canon did a good job of having these features in a variety of their cameras. 📸

I definitely reach for this little camera more and more when I want to do film. It's so compact and easy to use. SoCal misses you! 🌴

Technically any modern phone is better than any of these vintage cameras. However you're not going to get the same sort of vibe or aesthetic from a modern camera. The modern cameras just really push their color science in a modern direction. A vintage camera was all about a vintage color science. You should get one of the ones in my guide and see for yourself 📸

The 707 is one of the older ones in this line, so you'll get some nice results. But the 717 and the 828 being later models are just technically better. The 828 is the most expensive one, but the 717 is a good equivalent.

I have so many ideas for more videos for sure! I just need to find the time 🥲

You're welcome! How did it go?

It depends on what kind of look you want. Overexposure is a certain look, and underexposure is another look. Both are good looks, but it just depends on what you want. The great thing is you can shoot a shot in each of those two modes and see which one you like best. Unlike film you have unlimited shots!

Excellent! How are you liking the camera so far?

Totally agree. By the end of their lifespan, these compacts were top notch. And they're kind of under the radar, because the influencers are going crazy over other brands and models, and driving up the price. I'll take one of these under the radar point and shoots any day!

Oops! 🤑

Great top 10, for sure! I love the whole range of digicams; and I love how some are still under the radar!

Thanks for watching! Yes, the settings should remain, as long as you don't replace the batteries. If they do disappear, just watch my video again. 😁😁

Thank you very much! Yes, I want to do a deep dive on each. I just need to find the time 😅

Thanks for sharing! That's what I love about photography: everyone can do it the way they like. One thing I'd caution about underexposer, however, is that you're prone to accentuating noise when you bring up the shadows. These older cameras did not do well in low light; you'll find a lot of weird chroma noise in the shadows. But if you're going for that vibe, that's good! If you have a RAW image, yes, you'll preserve more shadow info; but from a regular JPG, not so much. Anyway, thanks for watching and comment!

Blur comes from not enough light. Here's a tip for a nice film-like look: set the camera to Slow Synch Flash, and then the White Balance to Cloudy. Those should create some results. Good luck!

You cannot use Memory Stick Pro; it's too new. I don't remember how many pictures fit on the stick I showed, but it' enough: you don't want to save 100s of shots. Even 36 shots is "enough." After all, if you lose the memory card, you lost all your photos. It's best to take 2 dozen or so and then save them to your computer, so you don't lose them. Hope this helps!

I've got more in mind, but I've been using my new Canon EOS 5D Mark II a lot, so I haven't used my digicams for a bit 😅

Good question. It's not in my list, but I like the Samsung NV 24HD. It can do 720p video, and has a very nice wide angle view. So, that's juuust HD quality, and the colors look good. The Canon A590 is also very nice, but only goes up to 640x480 video, which is not HD, but very vintage-looking. Hope this helps!

It must be a very specific cable, and plugs in at the bottom. Be sure it's the one I have linked. A long as it's the right cable, it should plug in at the bottom. Then you need to use a wall plug USB block to power it: www.ebay.com/itm/274105125904?itmmeta=01HT8GFA6S58V8ZGG42VZXZ101&hash=item3fd1f04c10:g:9LIAAOSwPa9d1NnA&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4D3lgv1lKyBdy86K2qxXaWBtYaveP%2BaUlUuhushX5o3YQ09bkuPDl%2FRvCLC7QkP09wfKYhz8oFnsYLi19YB%2Fqg3fM7zRAaJZtrQwNFRsJs7KLnJcuBNy8WON%2FT8NfHlVkl877J%2ByCF1HTNLl0F5TZ9QODJFd23JRvNYrkIKlDO7CnixAERARkEuriX8OAsj7jy6z%2Fj%2FKKJirkYB1gIyJWXnhY2r1vuSTSK5iB3EAonWXHSJxePEOuNf9pcZSxD2Fj4l48IYezNyT0rj0TMHCruH4PkhDzUbPlGSRQZ3JSpTo%7Ctkp%3ABFBMwKO9kNJj // www.ebay.com/itm/276373987267?itmmeta=01HT8GJRYRT6AS2C31789XT0E6&hash=item40592c5fc3:g:MP0AAOSwVa9l7QRb&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0F7IjD%2BWPyGo%2B4bGReQXX7qbVGJ5IOf%2FuQYSql4pjkgEaC3LWLNgFYmDvJbLS9IaKUbBlEBc9fIIuu73U%2BmanyGVUug6xYutU241hoz5txf1ZTm%2FPaRD2CxmQOvVmq1oFAzV35I3V0PViFRDss41sVKN6mvrgXebfnk2CpvBhGHXWn0v3kGXvbm9hKdWzCR%2FxPnmmpDtTqdOIjNNp88HqRZlQlk2jyW42KuL%2FRWOKZK9JistVTSlMxo2iRTqogwqZhQQm2B9bL6xkwzMx0hzco0%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8aPy5DSYw

@@vmcamposCameraClub Thank you for your suggestion, you were very helpful.

The green grid appears when the camera is focused. Lightly press the shutter button to lock focus, it should turn green and maybe make a beep sound; then take the photo. Hope that helps!

Yes, but most projectors strove to be "neutral" or "daylight" balanced. You wanted a 5000k, or so, bulb to have a neutral color rendition.

Thanks very much! I need to make another one, because I love this hobby!

You're welcome. Hope you got some great results!

Hope you get it working! (Also, try the vintage cams, to get the most authentic look!)

@@vmcamposCameraClub The picture styles worked great.

These are all unedited.

Thanks for watching! Hope yours worked. How did it go?

All are unedited.

Thanks for watching! Thanks for letting me know of more such cameras. 👍

The 5D has its own settings. I'll share a video on that soon!

Thanks for watching. How did it go?

It worked well, I did find I needed to go the other way with exposure comp, I know over expose is the look but I found it was a little too much so I went 1/3 under and that was better. Ive tried a few other recipes but I keep coming back to this one.. well done you got a good one, now im looking for another Canon old digi cam for my collection :) @@vmcamposCameraClub

Thanks for watching, and the suggestion! I plan on getting an SX120 so I can make such a video eventually. Stay tuned!

one weird trick!

Thank you for watching! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. It's amazing how camera technology has evolved, but also that the older cameras are still very good! Ciao!

Thanks for watching. I didn't upload the video in 4k, so that's one reason why my samples maybe didn't look as sharp. Also, these images were Straight Out of Camera, not processed. Usually, the most "beautiful" images are quite processed. As for being advertised in 4k, that is wrong. 4k didn't exist in 2007 when this camera was new. Whoever is selling it was not being honest. A 4k image is either 3840x2160 pixels or 4096x2160 pixels. This one makes 3648x2736 images; so while the number of pixels is "4k" it does not use the modern image processing to render it as a "real 4k." Also, the video quality is not at all 4k. But I think it's a great camera for vintage digital camera photography, which is what is popular now. If you want 4k quality, you'll need a modern camera that costs 10 times more. Anyway, thanks for the comment. 📸

Thanks for watching! For that effect, you need to use slow synch flash mode. Check your settings and turn that on. Then, you'll have bright flash on people, but dark backgrounds. Hope this helps!

Hope you get some nice results! Le me know 📸

Yes, prices for various digicams have changed a lot recently! I think they will stabilize eventually. Which is your favorite camera?

Yes if it has the same menu items. I don't have the camera, so I'm not sure, however.
