Hello, just came across your video. Very nice, I used to work in a camera shop around this time. The Ace was a down spec version of the Supreme, more or less. You missed one "secret" feature, the red oval on the base with "TILT" marked next to it. Twist this oval and it moves to stand proud of the base tilting the camera up so you don't get the table top in your selfies at the cafe. I was told it was a 12.5 degree tilt as Canon techs calculated that was the average curve of car roofs!
Hello, I have checked the manual regarding the DX film coding and it can read DX coding for film rated from 50 ISO to 1600 ISO. However, if using slide film, the manual does recommend using ISO 50, 100, 200 or 400 film only for some reason. If you load non-DX coded film then it will set itself to ISO 100.
Well done. I think you've inspired me to start doing some camera reviews. Waist-level finder is pure gold for street photography. But if the flash fires, the discretion is GONE. ;-)
I guess you could tape over the flash with some black electrical tape. but it's not a quiet camera ...so there's the noise too....hmmm. hay that's great news! Glad your going to do reviews and that I've helped inspire you 👍🏻😄
@@dangerpowers123 I'll ping you when I get around to doing my first one. Can the noise be delayed? The designers of these early P&S cameras usually designed them so that if a photographer presses the shutter release and holds it down, it will just be the mostly-silent click of the leaf shutter. Only when a fellow RELEASES the shutter button does it wind and make that horrible racket. Is that the case here, or had Canon already "evolved" beyond that?
@@Smaug1 ok so the noise can be partly delayed. Holding it down it still makes a noise. But not the full wind on the film noise. It only does that after you release your finger

I just picked one up at a garage sale. $5. I am guessing it needs batteries. What kind of battery does it take? They look like CR123 but they are on a case.

That's great to know...thank you for sharing.
Pentax Espio Mini also has a remote trigger too, thanks for sharing this camera
So glad to know that awful grinding noise is normal
goated comment
I came here specifically to check that noise was normal haha
@@mattbray_studio it really sounds like something is wrong lol. I’m glad I found this video when I did, I was about to tear it apart to figure it out.
@@IHATECREED616 yeah when I list this for sale I will 100% be explaining the noise is fine or it will be getting sent back to me for sure.

Thank you, sorry I missed that. And that's great the non DX codes is 100 by default as I shoot fomapan 100 loads and it has no code on it
Thank's mate, I just picked one up at the thrift shop, now I know that I'll keep it 👍
Its a miniature dual lens, how awesome
.... and a tilt leg on the base for tabletop selfies with the handy dandy remote ;)
I just got one today and i thought there was something wrong with the lens but no,it's noisy that way,thanks for the video.
A pity you cant disable the flash on the camera, but still a great camera and very good looking
que pila necesita el control ? Gracias .
Love how every p&s is different.
Exactly
I just picked one of these up at a garage sale for $2. Put a new battery in today and there’s a roll of film in it I will finish off.
That's great. What a deal....and you will get some suprise photos too...with that roll of film.
how did the former owner's pictures go?

I guess it’s not a secret anymore - Great Review!
Ha ha.... True....😄
Just found one, mint in box for £5. NOS, and never used.
Brilliant ..what a bargain
Hello, about the battery. How can I get another one? because mine no more works. Do you know if Canon sells this model of batetry?
HOLLLLYYYY SHIT!!!!!!!! I JUST GOT TWO OF THESE FROM MY FIANCES PARENTS. WHAT A COMEUP
i dont understand the tilt button on the bottom. do you know what it is for?

I have one sure shot ace but I cant get to twist the oval
If you can't read the DX code, at what ISO do you shoot? Muchas Gracias
100
Hey which type of film did you use ? Thank you
Would love to see your results with this camera. That shutter scares me a bit
Yerr me too. It's a bit nosie but I'll shoot some film soon with it as I love the top down finder
Film Camera Reviews I think that’s my favorite thing about it. Thank you sir
how do i turn the flash off for this cam??
You can’t

From memory its a 6v 2CR5
How do you turn the flash on this camera
So can’t we turn off the flash for this camera?
Nope
What kind of battery this camera needs?
bro ive been asking the same question
it uses a 2CR5 battery
How to turn on the flash?
It’s automatic
My copy has a battery drain problem
How long does the battery last ?
@@dangerpowers123 2-3 weeks? In some instances, the camera would rewind mid-roll when I put the battery back in
@@dgs1518 I hope I don't get the same issues. Does sound like an electrical issue
