If you have any other mistakes or tips please drop them below! Thing to note: -putting the whole camera in the fridge/freezer will also impact the small AAA battery in the camera. The cold does negatively affect the life of the battery, so use your own discretion for how cold or how long you leave the camera there :) (I have left disposables in the fridge for months and so far so good)
The only reason i bought a disposable camera is because i also saw a video on how to get the film out of it and preserve the camera so you can add new film to it so i’ll give that a try! Otherwise i totally agree it’s wasteful, if that doesn’t work out, i won’t be buying them. Great video!!
Very comprehensive video. I've worked at photolabs for about 20yrs and have been saying pretty much the same things as you to customers. I'd never clocked the Fuji lens bump though! We don't see many finger pics but you're probably right that when we do it will be from a Kodak camera. One note i would disagree with is film expiration as it's really only 3 to 5 years where you will see any meaningful shift in colours provided that the camera hasn't been kept in the sun or near heat. Freezing a disposable might also effect the battery's effectiveness. Kept in a drawer should be fine in most cases.
How am i gonna turn on flash on kodak i press and hold the button but it doesn't work the little red light on during the press but when i take off my hand the flash button light just turns off
DO NOT put it in checked luggage, those get xrayed too. The film will get ruined before the camera is opened, and after you've already taken pictures with it. So you need to get them hand checked every time you fly with them.
i have a question, so i took a picture with the kodak dispo camera on a restaurant, the restaurant was bright (not gloomy/dark) despite it was dark outside and our background happened to be big windows. i used flash for our pictures but now im scared if the flash reflects on the windows and ruin the pictures… will this happen or not? (i hope you understand me aa)
Since your subject is in front of the reflective glass you’ll probably be fine! I’d say if it were a mirror that would be a different story, anyway good luck! Hope it turns out :)
4:00 you have to hold the camera like the grandparents hold the phono to take photos... just with the index finger and thumb... i think they figure that out much befor us and still aplying this into smartphones... XD
Hi can someone please help me out, so i have a question, i just got my first disposable camera and i am a little scared to use it because i'm fearing i might use it wrong perhaps. The thing i am confused about is that if i wind back the camera to like 27 exposures will i have to use the camera and take all the 27 pictures all at one or can like the camera be put away for days and rest of the pictures are taken on other days within the same 27 exposure limit?
A lot of people go to Walmart/walgreens, but they just send it off to third parties, so it’s always a gamble on how they turn out! I go to my local lab, but there are some mail in options as well for those who don’t have easy access!
Take an image of the developed image. To develop the image, take the camera to a photo shop, and they will remove the film for you and develop it. If youre still confused. Google your question.
in France they never allowed me to do a handcheck for the film and actually told me that it wasn't true that it ruins your film :( spoiler altert: it did
Oh man. I bought a few disposable cameras while on vacation last week.. I haven't used one in eons. I used the flash maybe 1 or 2 times. I'm scared that I may have bunk photos on 3 cameras.. 🥲 I appreciate these tips. Next time will be different!!

Good luck! Please be careful if you do that method! As the battery is live and could hurt ❤️

How am i gonna turn on flash on kodak i press and hold the button but it doesn't work the little red light on during the press but when i take off my hand the flash button light just turns off
Thanks for the tips!
Is it worth putting the disposable camera in checked luggage? Also, if it's unopened, does it matter?
DO NOT put it in checked luggage, those get xrayed too. The film will get ruined before the camera is opened, and after you've already taken pictures with it. So you need to get them hand checked every time you fly with them.
^^^^^EXACTLY

Hi! When i put the film inside the camera, can i still take the film out even tho i havent used all of it? Will it have any damages?
Thx for all the info! One question, does the camera need to avoid the X-ray when it hasn't been opened yet?
Yes! X-rays go through objects right? So it doesn’t matter if it’s new/old etc! It’ll still get zapped :(
@@Anjroo Got it! Thank you~

you dont have to take them all at once, can even wait months between shots.
Top notch video
thank u!!!
Where do we get these things developed nowadays?
A lot of people go to Walmart/walgreens, but they just send it off to third parties, so it’s always a gamble on how they turn out!
I go to my local lab, but there are some mail in options as well for those who don’t have easy access!
Now break all of these rules
(except the airport one)
How do I get the pictures in my phone from disposable camera
