Good advice, the best thing about lack of control is... lack of control. it will mean some of your shots will not work, but it will put your mind to hunt those shots that you know will work.
The lock focus and focus confirmation light, focus re-compose are good tips. I always try to explain to newcomers that these early 90's P&S's have a primitive auto focus system. They are not like shooting with a smartphone camera. You really need to lock focus. People always blame the camera when their shots are out of focus but it's usually user error.
I like pns for the lack of control and more focus on composition and light also worth mentioning is dx code hacking for over/under exposure. I hope this video helps more people getting into film. Good job! 😊
Its a good thing to learn but for many new users it might be hard to understand what it means and such. Maybe for a "more tips" with point and shoot cameras.
Thanks for the great video! I have a question: when does the camera actually take a shot - when I press the button and it clicks, or when I release it and hear the sound of the film? For example, if I press the button and hold it for a couple of seconds, what will be my shot? When it clicked or when I finally released the button? Thanks
The first click! Most point & shoots have a dual-stage shutter. Pressing halfway will (normally) cause the autofocus to kick in, then the full press will take the photo. It'll wait until you fully press the button to take the photo. If your camera waits until you release the shutter button (after fully pressing it and taking a photo) before making a second noise, that just means it's waiting to advance the film to the next frame. Hope that helps! - Connor
Hey Jonah! If you leave the finished roll with a lab, they can process the film and give you both the negatives and digital files. They'll use a digital scanner to scan the negatives and convert them to look correct. (-: You can also do it yourself with a home scanning setup, with something like our VALOI line of scanners! - Connor
Just for the sake of the shot, nothing too serious. (-: The camera I'm using here does have an LCD on the back with the frame counter, date back, etc. though so it's good to keep that info in your head as you shoot! Thanks for watching. - Connor
Its always good to own a good old PS than these total plastic nonsense these days are coming out. Most of them with a slow f9 plastic lens which screams for bright sunny day.

Yeah, it takes a bit to get used to the limitations but once you get them p&s are great. - Nico

Exactly, most users havent taken some time to research the limitations of their gear and its really helpful to know what it can or cant do.
Great video and very nice shots!
incredibly helpful as a begginer to film cheers!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching. (-:

The educational TH-cam channel for your store is a pretty good idea! Good luck and keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!

What camera is that & do you recommend it? If so, what are your fave film stocks to shoot on it?

How do you view the photos and transfer them to a computer?

One other tip for these cameras: turn the date imprint off xD
We did it for fun, but yeah, you can turn it off.
@@Kamerastore i kind of thought that as well considering the actual dates xD Imo it gave a bit more authenticity to how P&S film cameras worked
I dream about quartzdate, i would set it for 30 y earlier 😅

So many good point and shoots still available at even lower prices than some of the "new" stuff.
