    One of the main functions of your AE meter prism you did not mention is the exposure lock button.
    You have to push the white button in the center of the on/off button and maintain it to lock the exposure.
    When pushing the white button you hear a "click" that blocks the speeds needle readout in the viewfinder.
    Caveat of the AE meter prism is that you cannot meter directly manually (only in AE aperture priority), the CdS elements are relatively slow in low light and it doesn't have long time shutter speeds, and it drain the battery if forgotten in on position 1 or 2 days.
    The manual metering PdS prism, with silicium elements, works fast in low light and has long time shutter speeds, it doesn't drain the battery at all. (but it's only manual). The LED readout is very precise.
    The manual metering CdS prism is not that convenient. it has it's own battery and shutter speeds have to be read on the prism speeds button and transferred manually to the body speeds button.

    Nice video man! Did you need to tweak the white balance of those daytime shots on 800T?

    • @Brandongorrie
      @Brandongorrie  2 года назад +3

      Yes, mostly because scanned film will project the hues of the negative itself, casting an overall color shift. The 800T negative itself is a dark greenish color so when scanned it casts a warmer red/yellow that you have to fix for daylight balance. For night time, not so much 😊💪

      All the forums I have checked with the same question have gone back and forth about that question (weird I know). Personally I put half a dozen rolls through the camera shooting at various speeds and apertures with no issue. The battery only applies for Aperture priority mode and light meter!

    On the lens there is a switch for M and A. Do you know what that stands for?

    • @Brandongorrie
      @Brandongorrie  Год назад

      YES! The A stands for Automatic Aperture, which means it will stay open until you fire the shutter. So, if you set it to M and decide bring your F-stop to 16, you'll see darkness in the viewfinder because there is no light coming in! Hope that helped!

    • @Brandongorrie
      @Brandongorrie  3 месяца назад

      To switch it off you press down on the white button and turn the know to "off". If you're me, you need to insert a new battery nearly every time because you forget to turn it off!

    Did you have to mess with the color balance at all when shooting the cinestill800t in the middle of the day. I’m shocked you were able to shoot with it. Must have been like f16 or something.

    • @Brandongorrie

    Can you tell please, is 1/500 shutter speed enough for daylight shooting or not?

    • @Brandongorrie
      @Brandongorrie  2 года назад

      Absolutely. The aperture will go to F22 which is plenty dark. However, if you’re looking to shoot fast subjects in freeze frame, I would go with 1000. If not, the 500 is brilliant!

      @Brandongorrie  2 года назад

      @@antoniomargaretti4201 ah, I now understand. 500 will take you 80% of the way there, I think you’d either be looking at ND filters or maybe bargain with the 1000s. Personally the shallowest I shoot usually is F4 because I like that range for portraits. However, if you’re wide open on a BRIGHT day, your meter will be topping at 500 and even 1000 depending on the surfaces and reflectivity of the scene.

    For the money it costs to shoot 645 medium format....you are better off getting a digital camera and editing the pics. If you are going medium format: go 6x7

    • @Brandongorrie
      @Brandongorrie  9 месяцев назад

      6x45 scans really well, gives me a great portrait ratio to work with, is portable, and has sharp glass.
      A 6X7 is more expensive to shoot, weighs a ton, is hardly portable (unless you’re shooting a RUclips video then you kinda have to) and only gives me 9 shots per roll. If I want 6X7 quality I’ll shoot digital, m8. The 645 is a fantastic format shoot on.
