Hey man! Thanks for video. I just wanna ask, maybe you know whats might be wrone with flashlight? I cheked batarey section and cleanup the contacts - no result
Hello thank you for that video it is very helpful 😊 but i have one question how do i get the little button at the bottom that i pushed to rewind my film to pop out again, because since i pushed mine to rewind its stuck and i cant use my advance roller anymore 😢
You can definitely shoot your film with the camera set to a different ISO, depending which you do you're either pulling or pushing your film. But you'll have best results when shot at box speed. When your camera is set to a different ISO from your film it will expose improperly and it will affect your images, though some people like that look so it can be worth experimenting, but I wouldn't try it on anything I really care about.
You're absolutely right, no battery needed if you don't need flash. There's a small geared internal motor but its powered by the thumb wheel so this one is a good one to keep in the bag for everyday use.
anyway to repair the flash? it seems that’s usually the first thing to break after a while haha, it used to work, then suddenly I replaced the batteries and nothing
I mean there's a way to fix almost anything, but it's probably not worth it for these point and shoots. I personally repair a bunch of point and shoots but the work is long and laborious and these cameras weren't built to last any way. No one really expected them to be in use for 40 years so the plastic is brittle and a part of the internal motor is the first thing to go. Usually with the flash its a capacitor issue, electronic issue or burnt out bulb. But nah, probably not worth it for the average person to get fixed. If you're a nut like me, open it up but just realize that there's a potential for electric shock unless you know what you're doing. So if you're willing to deal with some electric shock, give it a go but I can speak from experience that it's not fun.
hey thanks for the video. i got confused the first time using this and loaded the film wrong, instead of putting it straight across i put it in the metal piece next to the sprocket. is there a way to fix this? i already took a few shots.
Yes, any 35mm film is fine. If the box says "135" that just means it's a 35mm film. 36 is the number of exposures and 200 is the ISO/ASA. Just make sure to set the ISO properly. Good luck
Hey I have this camera and just loaded some film, I advanced it once before I closed it like you said so that I could see if it was loading properly and it was, but the rewind knob isn't turning when I advance it? I tried adjusting the rewind knob to make sure it was pressed down and it is but it still isn't turning.. how do I know if it's actually working?
@@sunshine44428 interesting. Hard to say without seeing the camera myself. You're sure the rewind knob isn't moving as you shoot photos? Its possible your film may have become dislocated and isn't loaded properly. I usually have a darkroom to check this in, but most people don't have that available. Is there a local camera store close to you? Or maybe an older person with experience with film?
@@ClickHere4AGoodTime I'm sure. The closest camera store is quite far away from me and no one I know has experience with film. Do you think it would be worth it to risk a few shots on the film and open it to see if it is loaded properly? I have only really taken 3 test shots.
@@sunshine44428 yeah...I might take a few more shots and actually make it worth it...but speaking from experience, you're gonna ruin a few rolls of film before you figure out this film thing. But hopefully something good comes from this and you at least learn to load film. If you accidentally expose your film, you at least have a roll to try again on. Sorry bud, wish I could help more
Hello! I just bought this camera. After i shoot, the film advance is stucking and i cant turn it for the other shot. After that, im pushing the button again like im shooting, and then i could turn the film advance. Is that normal? I would be appreciated if you could help. Thanks!
@@ClickHere4AGoodTime when i took the photo and after i turned the film advance, the number is changing (1 to 4) so i assumed that the film have been loaded correctly ☺️. I couldnt figure it out why i need to push shutter button again to take a new one after every photo.
Unfortunately this camera probably won't be able to be repaired at this point. Will have to track down a replacement. These cameras are over 30 years old at this point. Mechanical issues are to be expected.
Hey. I got my moms 30 year old camera (Kodak s100ef) a few weeks ago and had the same problem. I took all the screws out, and cleand the inside well. There were loads of dirt in it.
hi! i had the same problem and solved it by maintaining the metal piece on the right side of the lens (right under the lid that reads "Kodak") open. To see it, you should open the lid a little more than intended. I put a little piece of rubber in there to stop the that metal piece from traveling fully to the left. that allowed me to advance the film and pull the shutter button. hope it helps.
Hi!! I have the same camera and I don't know why, but every time I send a roll to develop it only comes 25 pictures instead of the 36, could you help me find a solution, please?
Sounds to me like you've purchased rolls of 24 exposure film. It will say on the film roll itself. Not all rolls are 36 exposures. Some are 24 and occasionally some are only 12. Like i said, it'll say on the roll itself as well as the packaging.
Wait, I thought you had to hold down the button when you rewind because when you hear the sprockets it rips the film? I might be crazy but I’ve always done that hahaha. Thanks for the video!
Unfortunately it's not really something most people would be able to pull off themselves. The people that would've repaired this camera are either dead or retired. You're better off getting a new camera altogether
I own a camera store on etsy so I have plenty of film. You can buy it online or at a local drugstore, though theyre becoming harder to find, they usually keep them behind the counter. Ask or search for 35mm film. It comes in 24/27 exposures or 36. Different brands and speeds will give you different looks. If you just want a basic recommendation I can recommend 400 speed film by Fujifilm/Fuji or Kodak. Most places charge the same for 36 or 24 exposures so just get 36 exposure film.
@@kaym30 it's Axocamera but things are currently on hold while I take care of some family stuff. But feel free to follow, there will be more updates soon.
You should be able to pull it open with very little effort. Pull in the direction of the arrow on the battery compartment. If you struggle with opening the battery door and you've never used the camera before, there may be a corroded battery in there holding it closed
A test roll or dummy roll is just a film roll that you dont get developed and reuse. So these rolls are usually either expired film or rolls i find in old cameras. Since I've exposed them I just reuse them to test cameras. You just have to open the camera before rewinding all the way to be able to reuse them. You can also pull them after the fact, but it takes additional tools.
@@kiroscene6835 The batteries are for the flash charge only, it works perfectly without them if you don't care about flash. Actually you'll gain a extra aperture when using this camera in flash mode without them batteries.
thank you so much for the video! i had no idea how to use this camera but thanks to you i figured it all out 🧚🏻♀️
You're very welcome!

Got this camera today from my godfather in perfect condition. I will try it someday with some film. I think it will be a perfect tool for lomography.
I try to push that 5:45 button but why its not lifting up? Ican roll the film advance please help
Hello i think i have the same problem have you found a solution yet ?
@@reginabernhart2681 no chance i bought new camera instead
Thanks for the help with rewinding the film!
Thank you for this video, I bought one of these cameras in red and I want to learn how to use it well 😊
Hello thank you for that video it is very helpful 😊 but i have one question how do i get the little button at the bottom that i pushed to rewind my film to pop out again, because since i pushed mine to rewind its stuck and i cant use my advance roller anymore 😢
Very helpful thanks! My film has ISO 200. Can i still take pics when the camera is set to ISO 400? Or do i have to keep the setting at 200 always?

thank you a lot for this video!! I bought this exact camera and i was clueless on how it worked haha
Not a problem. Glad I could help!
How do you get the photos?
nice camera. When i was in high school that was my camera. I used it even without battery, no flash only. If no battery i can not use it at night.
You're absolutely right, no battery needed if you don't need flash. There's a small geared internal motor but its powered by the thumb wheel so this one is a good one to keep in the bag for everyday use.

Sorry, I'm late. Did you manage to finish the roll? Does it appear to have loaded properly? Did the film counter advance?
Can I use Kodak Color Plus 200 Asa 135/36 Poz Color Plus Film for this camera?
