Great video! Found the same camera in my parents old drawer and i didn’t know how to use it! Thanks for your explanations i found them very easy to understand! (Sorry for my bad english 🇦🇷)
hey there, my grandpa gave me a canon PRIMA zoom shot 35 mm, similar that one, and now i'm traying to find a new battery and film and use it as a memory from "good years". tks from brazil !!
this video was helpful when i first purchased this camera on ebay, but my time was cut short with it since the tiny silver vertical piece in the film chamber fell off and was rattling around inside. found the video again when looking for repair advice. does that piece affect how the film rewinds? i suspect the photos i had taken are either double exposed (the frame counter had started over after blinking for a bit) or blank. suppose i have to take it for repair but i’m a bit intimidated!
How did the photos end up? :) I just picked one of these up at a carboot sale and everything seemed in order after switching out the batteries, so I'm curious if the age of the camera has done anything to the picture quality in your case?
To be honest I never got any further with using this camera. My personal circumstances changed shortly after making this video which I why I no longer produce any more. I would expect, however, that the quality would still be the same, as it's just optics and film.
Erm I have just purchased this camera and it's also my first one film camera. I have a question that after finishing a film roll, will it auto-rewind the film roll? Or do we have to rewind the film roll manually?
Hello! I've just bought the camera from the thrift store earlier. The LCD back is on but upon clicking the on/off button, the camera lens won't open. What seems to be the problem here? Is the battery power low, or does it need film to turn on?
Hey, just came here. I wanna ask u something. I have this camera, but the battery door was missing and I couldn't find any sparepart. So, will the camera on if I just tape the door? Thank u.
Thank you so much for the video. Found one in my parents' belongings, and now I'm gonna be able to use it.

great vid! was considering buying one of these off ebay so you gave a really good run down on the camera, thanks! :)
Thanks! I still haven't got round to using it properly or having the film developed, but I'll post an update when I do.
Thanks for the video, I found one of these in a charity shop and picked it up for £15! Really looking forward to using it.
You're welcome. I haven't used it much since I set it up, I'll need to get out there when the weather gets better 🙂
Thank you so much for the vid 🙏🏾
I'm learning English. And your chanel helped me 😁

Hi there, the battery is 2x CR123 lithium cells. They are fairly widely available here in the UK, hope you manage to get some!
@@generationxtec5576 here is difficult to find, but i will try to find it on internet hahahha, tks ya
thanks! found one of these at a thrift store recently and was very curious on how to use it.
It was a good compact camera for the time, hope you get some good results from it!
really good video 👍
hallo, thanks for the video! I also found one at a thrift store. Unfortunately it‘s broken, sometimes ist turns on, then it won‘t turn off.

@@generationxtec5576 Ah no worries - hope all is well and thank you!

When the film gets to the end, it will rewind automatically. Just keep taking pictures until it does 🙂

From memory, I think the LCD uses a different battery. The main batteries are CR123 lithium batteries, try replacing those.
@@generationxtec5576 thanks!
Hey, just came here. I wanna ask u something.
I have this camera, but the battery door was missing and I couldn't find any sparepart. So, will the camera on if I just tape the door?
Thank u.
Hi, no that won't work unfortunately. The battery door has a contact on it that completes the circuit between the two cells.
@@generationxtec5576 ahh, okay. Thank u, sir!
