Just wanted to say I appreciate the simple straightforward format of your videos. I started my own TH-cam channel because of how good your videos are. Keep up the great work!
I actually brought one of these from a charity shop yesterday, wanted to look for videos of it, and yours is really helpful, thank you! New subscriber here!
I've had great results out of one of these. The auto metering is surprisingly smart. I have more fun using it that the T70, which feels like an evolutionary dead end ergonomically.
The T-50 & T-70 have pretty good build quality very strong durable plastic compared to Ricoh, Pentax and even Minolta whose plastic wore out and cracked or broke a lot.
@@GhostTapeNo.9 Gently press the shutter button halfway to check for correct exposure. If a solid green "P" appears in the right side of the viewfinder, exposure will be correct. A slowly blinking "P" (about 2 times per second) is a camera shake warning. This means the shutter speed is 1/30 sec or slower, so it is best to use flash. If flash is not available, bring more light into the picture, or mount your camera on a tripod. A rapidly blinking "P" (about 8 times per second) means shooting is not possible without the use of flash. Enter the Canon Speedlite 244T. Switch to flash photography when the green "P" starts to blink. For best results, we recommend using the 244T with the T50. It is incredibly easy to use, and has been designed exclusively to go along with the T50. The 244T should only be used with the T50. The T50's viewfinder is bright and easy to use, displaying only the necessary information through a Light-Emitting Diode (LED) system of illumination. You may have been wondering how the T50 measures lighting conditions and provides correct exposure. This is accomplished through the Center-Weighted Averaging System by way of a silicon photocell. It reads the entire viewing area with emphasis on the central portion where the subject is most likely to be placed. Canon has used this system in all of its "A" series cameras, and it has proven to be very reliable and accurate. Might as well throw in the "M" and the "⚡"...and a summary of "P". M = Manual control LED; Blinks when the lens aperture ring is detached from "A." Warns that exposure may not be correct. ⚡ = Flash-charge completion LED; with 244T, also flash exposure confirmation. Lights up when flash is charged, and with the 244T, confirms auto flash exposure. P = Programmed AE control LED/Camera shake; Underexposure warning "P" lights up to indicate correct exposure. Slow blinking warns for camera shake; rapid blinking means shooting not possible. A more concise summary of the "M", "P" and the "⚡". (P): Programmed AE indicator. 2 Hz flashing indicates camera shake warning; 8 Hz flashing indicates underexposure warning. (M): Manual aperture setting. 4 Hz flashing indicates exposure may be incorrect. (⚡): Flash charge-completion display. And why not? Take a picture without touching the normal shutter button! The Remote Switch 60 T3 is a useful accessory that has also been designed exclusively for the T50. Attached directly to the camera body, it enables you to shoot by remote control. And since the T50 has a built-in power winder, you do not need an extra accessory to advance the film. With the optional Extension Cord 1000 T3 (approximately 10 m, or 30 ft.), you can shoot from a distance, especially useful when photographing wildlife. Since the remote switch shutter button and the camera shutter button are independent of each other, the camera's shutter button may be used, even if the Remote Switch 60 T3 is attached.
With the T70 (which is at least a good camera by its functionalities) this is probably one of the most ugly camera ever build… fortunately at the end of the T serie they build the T90 with Giugiaro designer help which is one of the most beautiful one.
Your ability to hold that camera in the same place for the entire video is astounding!

@LoveLikeLily lol, I haven’t got film inside mine yet, but if you do buy yours, I hope you’ll enjoy it 😁

I have found the battery door to be a weak point on the T-50. Otherwise a really good and simple camera.
I just found one of these for 10€ - looks like fun - can't wait to try it out!
Ok thank you
Thank you so much for this!!!
forgot to mention how the "P" exposure indicator inside the viewfinder works

If I only hear just a click when I hit the fire button what may be happening

Yes T90 is timeless but have you ever used one hard?
"EEEEE"
@@davefloyd9443 no issue with mine…. Yet :)
Giugiaro what? Colani.
@ you are right :) Giugiaro was working for the yellow brand ;) my mistake.
love your videos... but dang they are kind of like online recipes.. you have way too much extra information we don't need..
