I think the whole line of A-series is great! Good buy! 📸

Let me know how it worked!

I believe they have equivalent settings, yes. Let me know!

I'm glad my video helped you resurrect this camera, and I hope you take some great photos!

Excellent! I love to hear when my videos help people. Hope you take more great shots!

I'm glad the video helped you! I bet there are a lot of these cameras out there and people think they don't work because they don't know they have to put film in it. Anyway I hope you take some great photos now!

Use Bulb for exposure and definitely a tripod, you can use an app to calculate how long the exposure should be, but it's gonna be REALLY long, probably more than 3 seconds. Use a lower aperture value for lower shutter speed

For night shots, it always helps to use a tripod. Whether it's digital or film, capturing nice images in low light means a slow shutter speed. That could result in blurry images unless the camera is rock solid. So use a tripod for night shots 📸

Hope it work! Let us know 👍

It seems to work fine, except for shutter longer than 1/10 sec. which really doesn't matter. I have bought a film and a case and hope to put the camera to the test soon.

Agreed! I really like this line of cameras, and may get another (perhaps with rangefinder).

Thank you! It's a great little camera with nice optics.

Thanks very much for watching! The early Sony P cameras were very cool; very nice form factor.

It's weird, isn't it? I wonder if there were many cameras like this. Knowing this, now I'm paranoid and carry a spare roll of film whenever I got to vintage camera stores!

@@vmcamposCameraClub Quite a number of German rangefinder and zone focus 35mm cameras from the 1950s and early 60s were made like this. The design allows a simple film advance mechanism and a separate, simple set of gearing to cock the shutter, using advancement of the film to transfer motion to cock the shutter. This eliminates a more complex set of gears to transfer the motion of film advance to cock the shutter, being cheaper to make and more durable. If you have to dry-fire the shutter, spot the toothed gear in the film path which cocks the shutter and give it a spin.

You're welcome! I love to hear about people enjoying their cameras. 😊

I'm not sure. I don't have access to that model. Try searching RUclips for settings 👍

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 📸

Seems like it. It's from 2011 with 14Mpix so it should be good.

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!

How have you liked it so far??

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!

Very nice! Are you still using it?

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!

@@vmcamposCameraClub and what is the maximum card size that fits there?

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!
