My problems were the long travel for the shutter button (causes camera shake/ blur) and the film counter counting by 4s. Also the flash on and off’s f stop switch. Sometimes you could see that a aperture is halfway between the two when you look at the lens.

This video is really helpful 😅😅 thanks a lot!

[@8storeytree]

glad it helped.

[@didiertan5979]

What if you have a camera roll up to 36 pictures (72 on hf)? Will it count to 36?

[@8storeytree]

counter will count up to 72.

[@Karen-yb1so]

when i was done with my first roll, i added a new roll and still had issues with the counter 😭

[@8storeytree]

if u've tried and checked all the mentioned, then probably a faulty film counter.

[@Alex459xD]

My problem would then be number four, but does that mean that all my photos I took with the camera are gone because I opened the door? 😭

[@8storeytree]

yes. opening it will expose the film to light.

[@paulabadimonfabregat6822]

But what about the rest of the role? Can I still take more photos? And the ones from before?

[@8storeytree]

@@paulabadimonfabregat6822 if the rest of the roll is still in the canister, it's fine. Those uve taken before will be exposed or, depending on the conditions when the film door was opened, and that it is rolled up on the spool, the first few ones may not have been exposed to light that much, will just have some light leaks.
