Thank you, it's the first time I've seen a video on a channel about the exposure system of the Instax 300 camera. Really very usefull information!
Glad it was helpful!
this video was so helpful, you are so knowledgable in this field.. like seriously 😳
Glad it was helpful!
This video was awesome, I appreciate your dedication to getting more out of the camera.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to see a video when you teach how to use de light control and the flash in different situations. Thanks for this video, I just got my camera and this one was very helpful.
Thanks for the suggestion! Enjoy your camera!
Nice research approach giving great insight into how the 300 responds to different EV (combined shutter/aperture - who knew!). I think the most frustrating aspect of the camera is not knowing what EV the in-camera light meter is using in "complex" scenes with mixed highlights and shadows - but that is true of many auto cameras. If it's any use, I've found a 58mm adapter ring for square filters fits snugly over the lens tube if "lined" with a thin strip of foam - allowing hands-free filtering and multiple filters to be used, including grads.
Thanks for the tip on the square filter holder!
Wow, impressive work sir! Thank you.
best videos for Instax Wide 300 on internet. Hope you can post more.
I appreciate the kind words. Which topics are you most interested it? In instax wide 300?
Love it. Thank you for it!
Thank you!
Amazing video !!! I have never seen such a take on this camera on RUclips ! Great Job !
Glad you liked it! RUclips is a great platform to share things like this and hopefully people searching hard enough will find this content.
matejphoto absolutely !! Please don’t stop sharing .... There’s not many videos in Instant Film or Photography that address the points you did
Mesmerised to see another shetty seeing true content ❤️ Hope to meet you Bro , kudos matejphoto
great video! very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! This is the first one I've seen that actually attempts to learn how the exposure system works. Good job! Please do more to explore what can be done with this camera. Other than the Instantkon RF70, which is beyond many people's means, there is no real solution for quality Instax Wide images. From what I've heard, the Lomo Instant Wide has an exposure system that does some really oddball things. And custom Instax Wide cameras with medium format lenses/shutters fitted are almost as expensive as the Instantkon. So anything you can suggest to getting some real control would be helpful to us all. Thanks!
Thank you for the kinds words. It is really a shame that the Instax Wide so so neglected from Fuji. I guess based on numbers the Mini just sells much better. But I would love if they made a more advanced camera for the wide film, even something like the Neo 90 in wide format would be very nice.
I personally would really like an instax camera made just for portraits.
@@matejphoto I just ordered my Instax 300. It hasn't arrived yet. I have a Mini, but most of my instant photography goes back to the Polaroid SX-70 and Spectra days. I purchased the 300 as it reminded me of the Spectra in its wider, horizontal format. It should be fun.
The lomo one eats batteries like insanely just fyi
Thank you!
Super cool
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you thank you thank you!
You are so welcome!
I just had a crazy idea: if you could confirm EV value with an external flashmeter, then you set a little led located in a closed case, pointing the light directly and only to the sensor, emulating the same EV measured….
Genial! Muchas gracias. ¿Como sincronizas el flash externo? ¿Acaso con el disparo del flash de la cámara?
Hello. Great video, thank you! What external light did you use on the video?
question, the instax 100 says fixed aperture of f/14, and the 300 says dynamic range. Does that mean that the 300 has variable aperture but the 100 doesnt? I read online that both are the same camera with different look. But now Im not sure
Hey. I subscribed hopping you do more videos for the Instax 300! How do you adapt that flash and filter, etc?
found it
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing! Let me know what else you would like to see on the Instax Wide 300. There isn't as much interest in the wide 300 based on views but I really like the wide film.
So, the camera change speed between 1/64-1/200 AND up to 3 stops of aperture? Taking photos at EV 12-13 may be the best option to guarantee average correct metering, I think
Hello, I'm in Brazil since I'm sorry my English because I'm using the translator. I realized that there is very little material on instant instax, its channel helped me a lot, as the instax wide light sensor is automatic I realized that some pictures in sunlight the exposure is too bright, it would not be an alternative to put a flashlight on the sensor so as to choke and the shutter open less? thankful
Thanks for watching! I think if your pictures are too bright outside (especially in a sunny place like Brazil) then the shutter speed/aperture combination is not enough to achieve proper exposure. I am pretty sure that the light sensor is telling the camera to use the darkest exposure, it just isn't enough.
What I would suggest on a super bright day is to cover the lens (and lens only, not the light meter) with weak sunglasses.
hIi ! how i can make a photo with a monitor when the picture is digital?
Hi Atilla, unfortunately I don't understand your question.
Could you please make a longer video about using an ND filter with the instax wide?
I will add it to the list. But using ND filters with the Instax Wide 300 is a little tricky since it has autoexposure. So pretty much it will work only if the light is brighter than what the Wide 300 can handle.
I downloaded the light meter app, but I don’t understand which is the number that is measuring light value. Could you help me with this please?
Sorry for the late reply. In the light meter dial in ISO800 (since all instax film is ISO800), then you can vary either shutter speed or aperture. The lightmeter will calculate the other one based on how much light you have.
Great tests and info! When in fill flash mode, do you think it locks to a particular shutter and aperture? I accidentally put it into fill flash mode at sunset and got a completely dark background, definitely didn't seem to fire at F14 1/45.
Hi Andres, I am planning to buy one 300, do you know (please) if you can turno on or off the flash? Thanks
I don't think so. I think it uses the flash the same way no matter what you select on the camera. The only thing it does is that it forces the flash to fire no matter what.
When you did your sunset picture: Did you have the sun in the frame? If so, that is probably the issue.
What size of ND filter is the best for this camera?
I use 58mm. I think that is a very good size since it is very commonly used on lenses. But you can go as low as 39mm, but it might be harder to center it over the lens perfectly.
I've been having a really hard time with focusing. I recently took several photos and the only time it was in focus was when my subject was really close like maybe two feet away and it was set to the close focusing distance. If my subject stepped away a bit farther, it would be out of focus and changing it to the farther focusing distance didn't help at all. It was in relatively low light if that matters. Have you had any experience like this or am I crazy?
Did you keep the close up lens clipped on the camera? That is the only thing I can think of. Otherwise it sounds defective (e.g. lens out of alignment).
Would you ever get a Mint Instantkon RF70, or is that a bit too pricey?
Nah, I don't see me buying the RF70. Just too much $$$. For times when I want ultimate control I ordered the Lomograflok 4x5 instant back. I am planning to use it with my Graflex Crown Graphic (I used to shoot FP100c film but that got discontinued).
@@matejphoto Thank you for the reply! That’s super helpful.
No worries. The lomo back is little delayed but I plan to review it as soon as I get it. Shooting cheap instax wide on a 4x5 camera should be awesome!
Do you prefer wide 300 or mini in terms of image quality?
I like the wide 300 better due to the larger size.
@@matejphoto thank you very much for your answer. I think to buy it, that why I would know ^^
What is the filter called? at 10:14 ?
Variable neutral density filter. Here is an example:
