Hi quick question please; on average / roughly what is the life of a pair of batteries on FE / FE2 ? In number of shots/film rolls/weeks or months of regular use, just in rough estimates is fine.. Thanks in advance
My instax is not working. I haven’t used it for 2 years. I tried charging but it won’t light up. Do you anyone of you know what to do? Is it my battery or my charger that is broken?
Hello, I recently purchased an olympus trip 35, and it’s my first film camera so i’m a beginner in film photography. I first shot a kodak gold 200 with no problem, but in my second film (black and white one) at the moment of winding it back, I felt a LOT of preassure. When i opened the back it was just fine but i wonder if i should’ve done something else. Now i’m shooting my third film and it’s working fine, but the expirience left me pretty worried.
How can I fix the battery lock detail? I got this type of camera from my friend but this detail (black button that you screw by knife) has been lost and it doesn't lock completly. Any advice?
Yep. When you open a pack of instax film that’s what you get, that black box holds the film. Which is why you put the black box in the camera, like I do in the video. Hope this helps!
I just went to get my first film developed and the lady there said this roll is used bc usually the film is rolled all the way on. I think I might have not rewind the film all the way back leaving it looking like an unused film. Will that cause any issues?
Seems like you’re orbit :) btw i think i have the same issue jn where my film wasn’t rolled inside and i might not reload the film correctly. How’s your film now?
@@farahasyiqa2652 YES I AM AN ORBIT! lol 😅😅 The Chuu pfp gave it away. My films came out perfectly fine. As long as the actual films were not exposed to light, they should be fine. 🙂
@@GoldenPhoenix_09 I see, just to confirm, when you opened the back after rewinding, was your film not rolled in until its end (meaning the film roll seemed as if when you first loaded it)?
@@farahasyiqa2652 After I rewind the film and opened the film chamber, the film roll looked as if it was brand new. Kind of like when you open a new roll of film and there’s a small piece sticking out for you to pull and insert into the camera.
And Don't shake the Photo Like One of those movie It like Trying to pull a grenade pin with your bare teeth 😅 Btw every time you put a new film in you gotta remove the protective cover Yk the one that says no Finger icon?
Hey, thank you for the video its really helpful. I just unloaded my film and realized the ASA was 200 but my camera was on 400 the whole time. Does it effect the quality of the photos?
Hi I have a question! I just insert a new battery in my pentax camera, and haven’t used the camera yet since the film was not in, but I left the battery in the camera for a few days. And when I switch on the camera today the battery is already low. Is that possible to happen?? Because these are brand new batteries and I have not use the camera yet like I said. Or is my camera the problem?
Hey good question, it could be a few different things. Sometimes it's the types of batteries you use, so if you can try to use high quality options. It can also just be the camera is draining the battery, as sometimes when they age they get a bit power hungry and chew more power than needed. I reckon try a new battery, or a different brand and see if that works. Hope that helps.
Hey there, try a fresh new battery. If that doesn't work try a different brand. Try to use a battery of a high quality if you can. I've found sometimes some of the lower end AA batteries just haven't been up to the task to power the camera. Hope this helps!
Hey, great question! The 80g will take 35mm film. It can support anywhere between 100 to 1000 iso film, but I’ve typically stuck with 125 or 400 film. For the pricing of the film depends on a few things. For example if you want colour or black and white, which brand and where you live will all factor in. A quick google for 400 iso 35mm film in your country should give you a good snapshot of what to expect. Hope this helps!
