Hi Jamie, so glad to hear that you were able to find yourself a Minolta AF-E! These cameras are really nice, I love the way they fit in my hands and also the fact that the lens is protected:) Happy to hear that my video was able to help you load the camera. Have fun shooting and greetings from Berlin:)

Thank you for this video man! It really helped me navigate my first film cam. I was wondering what’s the compartment between the rewind & battery on 0:52 for? Is that the film cartridge holder?

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 2 года назад

Hi Sophia, could you specify which part you mean? If you want to, you can take a screenshot, mark the area and send it to me via email. valentinsfotoparadies@gmail.com All the best and have fun with your first film camera:)

@mandirapatel2330 Месяц назад

hi i just put fresh batteries in and film in (just as you have shown) and the shutter button doesn’t work (it has no noise). not sure if it’s working or not 😢

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Месяц назад

Hi there! If the batteries are fresh and the camera makes no sounds (also when you're loading the film and nothing happens) that's usually a bad sign. Have you already taken a look at the battery contacts? Sometimes they are dirty, especially when the owner before forgot to remove the batteries and they leaked... if that's the case, try some cleaning alcohol and cotton swabs :) All the best, V

You have any examples of photos or shots you’ve taken with the camera?

@luanatinococerqueira8727 Месяц назад

Hello ! Thank you for your video, it’s very well explained! I have a question, I found an AF-E, when I put batteries the flash works and I hear the film location (idk how it’s called aha) roll. However I don’t know if my rewind button works. If your camera has no film and you press the rewind button, is there any noise? Because mine doesn't make any sound, and I'd like to avoid wasting a film to test it aha. Thank you

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Месяц назад

Hello there and thanks for commenting. I am not sure if the camera makes a sound if you press the rewind button without firm inside of the camera. What I would suggest is put a roll of into the camera shoot it, and if the camera is not able to rewind the film, going into a dark space where there is absolutely no light and manually put the film back into the canister. all the best and good luck with your camera!

Hallo! Heute auf dem flohmarkt gekauft und es war ein film eingesetzt - dieser war jedoch schon durch und automatic remind hat nicht funktionoert, manual auch nicht... bei dem film"halter" ust auch riner der beiden zackrn abgebrochen leider. Ist das noch zu retten? :(

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 3 месяца назад

Hallo! Ist das Batteriefach denn sauber? Ich würde einfach mal frische Batterien reinpacken und schauen wie sich die Kamera verhält. Du kannst ja auch den Film der schon drinnen war als "Testfilm" nutzen um zu sehen, ob die Kamera den Film transportiert. Viele liebe Grüße! Valentin

@kassandraroussy8905 Месяц назад

Hi, I was wondering Why is my operating bottom not working on my minolta af-e, and the camera just keeps on winding? Thank you

@shaheeraazmi7203 Год назад

Hi, so if my film is iso400 so my ISO setting should be set at 400 right? Or I can use auto set?

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Год назад

Hi Shaheera Azmi, thanks for your question! It depends if the film has DX-Code reading. (google it real fast, it's not so easy to explain.) If it does not have DX Code reading, you should set the ISO to 400. If it does, you can set it to auto. If you are shooting color negative film, it can be nice to overexpose your film, i.e. setting the ISO to 200 for a 400 ISO film in order to overexpose it by one stop. If you have any more questions, let me know :) All the best, V

@nigiangamerz8218 Год назад

Its been many years since i last switched on my camera and now when I am inserting new cells its not switching on however the battery compartment is warm

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Год назад

That does not sound good. Have you tried pushing the batter compartment cover in a little bit? If it switches on then, maybe a piece of tape can be a more permanent solution. Wishing you luck! V

Hlo sir ek question hai battery kaha milega???

@kerrjaimesen Год назад

Hey! Is there any way to turn off the auto flash or is it programmed?

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Год назад

Hi! It is not possible to turn off the flash unfortunately.

@mikeyjohnson7075 2 года назад

Hey man when I try to use the rewind bottom thing it doesn’t do anything. I just put in new batteries and don’t know what the problem is

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 2 года назад

hey Mikey, it seems like it might be broken then...

@adnanb875 2 года назад

Are you able to turn the flash off? Or is it always on for every shot? Thank you

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 2 года назад

The flash can not be manually turned off. It will activate automatically if the camera thinks it’s necessary.

@ellajuly8287 Год назад

Hey! Gibt es bei der Kamera einen automatischen rewind, sobald der Film fertig geschossen ist? Habe gerade probiert den Film, wie du es beschrieben hast, manuell einzuziehen, aber das funktionierte leider nicht.

@julians.7799 Год назад

hey hast du nh lösung gefunden? mir ist dasselbe mit der kamera passiert

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Год назад

Hi Ella, ja es gibt einen automatischen Rewind sobald der Film fertig belichtet wurde. Was genau passiert wenn Du versuchst den Film einzulegen? Hast Du vielleicht zuviel FIlm herausgezogen? LG

@SwanteRahmel Год назад

Can you use the rewind to do double exposures?

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Год назад

Yes in theory you can, but be aware of: 1.) for a double exposure you want to 1/2 the amount of light for both exposures to receive a fully exposed negative. This camera would automatically expose it correctly which means if you rewind it back and shoot over the same film, it will be strongly overexposed. You can still give it a try, maybe try some old expired film and it might make for some nice results. All the best, V PS: When you rewind the film, try to stop the rewinding process before the film is completely inside of the canister :)

@SwanteRahmel Год назад

@@valentinsfotoparadies8708 I taped over the DX encoding on the film and adjusted the ISO in the camera settings from 200 to 400, such that the settings are correct. Also I only shot 34 pictures in the first "half", so I don't have to worry about the film being completly in the canister. I also only shot architecture and buildings on the first 34 shots and only portraits after that. We'll see how that will turn out!

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 Год назад

@@SwanteRahmel Sounds like you got it figured out homie! Good luck with the portraits and let me know how the end results come out:) All the best, V

@ellen719 2 года назад

hi, i just bought a second hand minolta and don’t have any experience with film cameras, but i’m struggling to load it. i think i might have pulled too much film out and i’m not sure how to get it to load now :( when the batteries are in and i press the shutter it just makes a whirring sound and doesn’t stop until i remove the batteries. do you have any idea what i can do? thanks :)

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 2 года назад

Hi Ellen, it sounds to me like the camera's motor has some sort of issue. Take out the film and the batteries and then but the batteries back in. When you are loading the film, make sure that you do not put too much film into the camera. All the best V

@tedsheppard3871 2 года назад

do you have any idea why my camera flashes red without making the noise of taking a picture?

@valentinsfotoparadies8708 2 года назад

Hi Ted, what do you mean by "my camera flashes red" ? Do you mean when you look through the viewfinder it just blinks red? Does the lens open if you press the shutter button? Have you tried changing the batteries? All the best, Valentin
