- I was scrolling through @shootitwithfilm Instagram account and found a tutorial on how to hack the DX coding on film. So I decided to try the DX code hacking and put 2 rolls of Kodak Ultramax 400 through my Olympus Af-1

sorry man the music is too loud and distracting. Other than this great video.
I will say ya boi tends to forget that iphones compress the crap out of the audio and that most people aren't listening through monitors haha appreciate it heavy still!!
Great work dude! Just bought this camera as my first point and shoot. Good to see examples of what you’re shouting. I look forward to watching your journey! ✌🏻
Lee Benham thanks man!!! It’s a great little camera and I’m stoked for you that you got one!! Happy shooting!!
Jubilee Santos thanks for the reply. I’m looking into fast speed film such as the Cinestill 800. My worry is with the auto-flash... maybe put some black tape over it?
Lee Benham yea if you’re not wanting the flash in your photos! I’ve read about some people doing that with their AF-1. The only downside of that is that the camera is exposing the image with the consideration that the flash is there to help expose the image. But I think the cameras DX code reading can read film speeds up to ISO 800 so that might help with most of your images since that’s such a high speed film. It wouldn’t hurt to try it out!!
Jubilee Santos cheers dude! Appreciate it.
Like👍
Thank you so much!!
what iso that you use after you hack the dx code?
I went from 400 to 200
But like I said in the video, I really didn’t notice any difference between hacking the DX code from not. I don’t know if I did it right or what haha
Spoiler Alert: The only reason someone would watch is video is to learn how he "hacked" the DX code on the film cartridge to cause his point-n-shoot camera to over-expose the film BUT he doesn't show that! (If you search, you'll find the method elsewhere.) Point-and-shoot cameras are, but definition, designed to let people who know nothing about film photography shoot photos anyway. So, what's the point in hacking the film speed code reader to intentionally over-expose the film and get lesser picture quality? He watched a few YT videos where doing so is promoted by others, what I call the "WV School of Film Screw-Up", and if they do it, it must be cool. Save yourself from the blind leading the blind. And I thank you!
Randall Stewart I want to first off say, thank you for watching the video!! I really appreciate it! Second of all,I never intended this video to be a tutorial nor did I intend that everyone needs to be doing this. I just made the video to document that I found out you can hack the DX code and that this is me trying it out haha. I’m with you that you lose quality as my photos were okay and honestly I didn’t notice them being over exposed (which I did say in the video) This video was just to show me trying it out!! I’m just a new person in the film world and I love it and want to try everything about it!! Again thanks for watching the video and commenting!!
Over exposing film is common practice and shouldn't result ib less picture quality. I often overexpose by 2 stops (iso 400 shot at 100) and it makes the colors pop more. It's not like overexposing digital, film has a lot more margin
@@popefrancis80 Of course over exposure results in lesser image quality with film. Although there is plenty of technical explanation for this, the most simple response is that if film makers knew their film would give a better image at a slower s[peed, they would rate it slower. Intentional over exposure provides is a safety cushion for camera users who do not learn how to use their equipment to obtain accurate exposures. For the vast majority, the loss of quality from over exposure is negligible or unrecognized compared to the real or perceived benefit of exposure insurance, but that is, and should not be presented as, a universal benefit for capable photographers. The most apparent image damage from over exposure is loss of tonal range (so called dynamic range) and compression of highlights, which appears as loss of tonal separation in the near-white highlights. Film may have a wider dynamic range than digital sensors, but that isn't really the standard of reference here. Over exposure also results in larger grain and the associated loss of sharpness which goes with it.
