Thank you so much! Also I found out that the little square thing on the camera’s travel strap has a button that sticks out that helps a lot with opening the battery compartment, not sure if its intentional but it opens perfectly with it so I just thought it was a good little tip
Hello! That "L" on the back dial is actually just supposed to be a line pointing to the self timer icon right above it. That's why it appears as a backward "L". Why they didn't just place the self timer mode in place of the line, I do not know.
I read the manual for the 65 zoom date, and on the wrist strap there’s a little square with a little plastic but sticking out, it’s actually used to press the buttons
@@kwilliams5728 not really aside from using the same square to close it in on your wrist, but another tip, the strap actually measures the minimum focal length of the camera, so if you hold the strap out and your subject is in closer than the tip to the camera, then the camera will not be able to focus on them.
Thank you for making this video!! found my parents old camera and needed to find out how to use it such a good job explaining the features thank you !!
Hey i got this camera from my grandpa... And i don't know how to function it... Like which battery or film should I buy for it. Could u please mention that??
I'm glad the video helped! It's a really fun camera to use. Right now I am working through my rolls of superia xtra 400, one of the cheaper film stocks from fujifilm. Typically I like to use Porta 400 but it is more expensive so sometimes I go for the cheaper stuff :)
Hi, thanks for the comment! I should have shown this in the video, but you simply pull the film lead across the camera and lay it flat. there is a red line labeled "Film" and you place it there. Once closed, the camera will automatically grab the film and start winding it
I just grabbed one of these cameras for like $10 on eBay. Curious if a 36 exp roll will work? The manual says it will automatically rewind after 24exp. What’s your experience with this?
Was wondering if you knew the type of film that would work in this camera? In the guide it says it needs film marked "DX" but in a google search, it says most regular film at a 400 ISO is now "DX"? Edit: Saw you mentioned in another comment which film you used, but still wondering if you know what the "DX" in the manual is referring to?
With these little cameras, usually it won't count frames if it doesn't take the film, if that makes sense. When you put the film in and close the door, it tries to start advancing the film. If the frame counter on top goes from 0 to 1, it should be properly working. Once you expose frame 36, it will automatically rewind the film into the canister. At that point you'll just have to get it developed to see if the exposure functions worked correctly. Thanks for watching!
Glad to help! And you are correct, the button on the bottom rewinds the film. the camera will also rewind automatically when a roll is finished. Thanks for the question!
It will automatically rewind when you've shot all 36 photos. once the winding stops, you can unload the same way you load it, with the latch on the left side of the body
Yeah, the sureshot 76 has slightly more focal length, from 38-76mm while the sureshot 60 has 38-60mm. other than that it appears they have similar functions :)
It sounds like an error message, try taking the battery out and then putting it back in. If that doesn't work, I found a forum post that suggested lightly tugging on the lens, it may not be extending all the way. I hope you're able to fix it!
I don't know if i ever will go back to the caffeinator account. If I do it wont be today. I'm sorry for leaving it but I just couldn't go on at the time and now I'm not sure if I ever will. But thank you for the support while I was still active over there

I just started using the camera and just kept using a penny to open the battery, thanks for that tip!!

That's a weird quirk haha. Thanks for sharing, I had no idea. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Great advice! is there a way to adjust the strap??

Excellent video!!!
hi, the green light isn’t showing on mine when i turn it on. does that mean it’s not working?
i have the same problem, did you ever get this figured out?
You think u could replace the back of one of these? (If I ordered one for parts) (the back broke on mine)
Thanks
Excellent job on your video!!!!!!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Hey, great run through off all the features, I recently bought the camera and the video helped a lot!👍 Just wondered what film you use?

Hi! How do you ensure the film was loaded correctly?

I've only used 36 exposure rolls in mine without issue. I guess you might have to test it and see
Hey do you know battery this takes my camera is missing it
It takes a Lithium 123A battery :)
Was wondering if you knew the type of film that would work in this camera? In the guide it says it needs film marked "DX" but in a google search, it says most regular film at a 400 ISO is now "DX"?
Edit: Saw you mentioned in another comment which film you used, but still wondering if you know what the "DX" in the manual is referring to?
Almost any 35mm film would work :) on the box and canister there’s a little symbol that has DX on it.
The DX symbol means that there’s markings on the canister that allow these point and shoot cameras to automatically set the ISO I think
@@liasilina also I believe it defaults to 125 if there is no dx code
How do you know if the film was actually working and able to be processed? Thank you!

thank you for this. what is the button on the bottom of the camera? to re roll the film?
Glad to help! And you are correct, the button on the bottom rewinds the film. the camera will also rewind automatically when a roll is finished. Thanks for the question!
I actually just bought this camera at a flea market for $5, so thanks for this video 🙏💕
Ooh awesome, great deal! Glad to help :)
hey! loved your vid. how do i unload the film from the camera?
It will automatically rewind when you've shot all 36 photos. once the winding stops, you can unload the same way you load it, with the latch on the left side of the body
thanks for the video :)
Thanks for watching!
Is the camera able to sense the film ISO you use?
Hey, sorry for the delay; yes the camera can detect the dx code and automatically decides what iso to meter for
Can you replace the battery with the CR123?
Yes, they are interchangeable!
Do you know the difference between this and the 76 sure shot?
Yeah, the sureshot 76 has slightly more focal length, from 38-76mm while the sureshot 60 has 38-60mm. other than that it appears they have similar functions :)
@@ElevationTech ok cool! Where can I find batteries for it?
@@Kvreme www.amazon.com/s?k=123a+batteries&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 it should be lithium 123A batteries, thats what mine uses.
nice video! very helpful👍
I'm glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
do you know what it means if the top is flashing E?
It sounds like an error message, try taking the battery out and then putting it back in. If that doesn't work, I found a forum post that suggested lightly tugging on the lens, it may not be extending all the way. I hope you're able to fix it!
what’s the highest year this camera goes for the date?
Hi, sorry for the late reply, I'm not sure what the highest year is. When I get off work tonight I can check and I'll edit this comment!
@@ElevationTech could you still check this please?
i used to be an OG follower that was in a lot of streams of your other yt account, The Caffeinator pleas go back to it
Hello, when will you be back on your minecraft account, and upload to The Caffeinator? Please go back to that channel ;(

@@ElevationTech ok, and your welcome for the support, i was kind of hoping that you would go back to it, i have you friended on hypixel.. so yeah
Thank you!
Can you replace the battery with the CR123?
Yes, you can do that :)
