Really helpful video! Followed the steps, and went back and rewatched when the spool didn’t grasp at first! Thanks for not taking 10 minutes 😁
got one of these cameras for christmas and this video is soo helpful thanks :))
Glad it helped.
Super helpful! Been so long since I used a film camera and I just got this camera so it was a great refresh!
Thanks. Hope it helped. 😁
Hi! Loved this video, it’s so helpful especially for those whom like me do not grasp the concept of loading and unloading (too scared to ruin the film😅)
I have a question tho, I think I finished the film, I may have 1 photo left, but the counter is at “s” ( it was at 23 before rolling one last time). does this mean that the film is finished? Also, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t have all the numbers, mine went from 1 to 3! Is it normal or is my camera faulty?
the counter is just an indicator to know an estimate of how many shots u have left. you can continue to shoot beyond '36' until you cant advance anymore.
hi! quick question: every-time i take a picture i need to rewind or it goes automatically as i push the trigger button?
ty for the video it helped a lot 🤜🏻🤛🏻
@@brunocorrea7366 u'd need to advance manually after every shot.
Hello! The rewind knob doesnt move when I'm trying to advance the film. Any idea why?
Thank you
it's usually the case of film not loaded properly, or loose film in the canister. sometimes, the initial free rounds, the film in the canister is loose. therefore it doesnt move the knob. eg. of 'loose film' ua-cam.com/video/ahm-Y3XcvKY/v-deo.html . hope it helps.
Could you show us some pictures, so we can see the quality of the photos?
we share our photos on instagram. instagram.com/8storeytree/
just google it lad
Thank you very much for this video! I just have one question tho, when I changed the battery the "counter" went back to 1 (so first photo I guess), are the previous ones I took lost ? Thank you😀
changing battery shdnt reset the counter, only opening the film door will reset it.
Hi! Nice video and very helpful! I have a question though...How does the counter work? Because I'm getting crazy over this. My counter was on S then a middle point (let's call it .) and then 1, but I was expecting a number 2, instead I got another point and then 3, then two more points (. .) and I didn't take more pictures but I'm guessing next number is 6? Why this? Any reason why? Is everything correct even if I don't have all numbers?
film counters are just to estimate how many shot you've taken.
hi the video was very helpful. It is my first roll and I noticed that activating the flash took me only the first shot, while the others did not. What's the problem?
Thank u
make sure the batteries are placed in correctly, flash takes a while to charge, u shd hear a faint humming sound when charging. if it still doesn't work, we would assume there's an issue with the flash / camera.
Have you already developed a film? How is the quality?
And which ISO-film do you use (100/200/400)?
Thank you so much for this video!
We post some photos on our instagram, though dun recall this specific camera. 😅 too many cameras to play around with. For this camera, we'd recommend using 400, as it's fixed shutter spd and apertures. 100,200 is fine too, jsut remember to use outdoors in the sun or with flash when indoors.
Hello friend! Thanks for the time you dedicate to make these videos and solve our doubs :) I have a question, if I charge a 25 takes film, the cámara will stop rolling if I want to take more photos once the film is over? So I could know that the film is really over... Or It only happens with 36 films? Thanks :)
if your film is 24 exposures, you shd not be able to wind more than ~24.
Hello i would like to ask a question.All the process of loading and unloading has to be done in dark or is it ok to do it with normal daylight?
the film canister is the protection from light for the negatives, as long as the film is not pulled out of it.
How can you tell/know when the film is finished and it's time to remove it and replace? Thank you great video!

Thank you so much
glad it helps.
Hello few questions here,
Im a newbie in the analog photocamera bussiness. I just bought an agfa photo camera 35 mm
Does de back flap needs to be closed at all times when taking pictures?
Do I need to rewind everytime before I take a photo?
Thanks in advance!
yes, if you open the back flap your piece of roll will be exposed to light which will ruin your roll & pictures (they will turn black due to light exposure).
and yes also, after every picture you take, you have use the top right roller thing (the one next to the strap holder) to wind your film further. you'll notice when to stop, just keep it rolling until u hear a click and can't scroll any more. then u take your next picture and proceed that process until your whole roll is used :)
hope that helps !
thanks!
Hi quick question, I accidently pressed the button on the bottom before you rewind
Since the roll is not completely advanced I want to finish it first but did I ruin it by pressing the bottom?
it shd be fine, just that some photos may have overlap (double exposures). u shd be able to continue winding and shooting.
My flash doesn't work on my camera even with a fresh new battery in, any suggestions as to why?
make sure the batteries are placed in correctly, flash takes a while to charge, u shd hear a faint humming sound when charging. if it still doesn't work, we would assume there's an issue with the flash / camera.
The camera only have one use? Or the camera can be use the times that you like ? Solo se puede utilizar una vez o tiene más vida útil?
It is Reloadable.
incr, thank you
Cool
what battery does this camera use, and do you need the battery to enable flash
yep. u'd need a AAA battery for the flash.
Wanna ask 🙋
So when we take a picture then want take a picture again we must to scroll the film camera, right?
yes. u'd have to advance the film to the next frame before u can take another picture.
@@8storeytree How would you know when it's advanced enough? Is that what the counter on top tells you (btw thanks so much for answering all these questions).
@@arnorbenjaminsson3394 u wont be able to advance further once it reaches the next frame.
I did everything as told and even checked and the film had moved forwards but my rewind knob isn’t moving, what could’ve gone wrong? And how do i fix it without ruining the film inside . Thanks.
Nevermind ruined a few shots but figured it out and now its moving hahah
@@AliceEinDreamland the film may just be slightly loose in the canister. shd turn after a few more rounds. ua-cam.com/users/shortsahm-Y3XcvKY
@@AliceEinDreamlandhey, how did you solve the problem pls ?
Hello, I put in my film and took pictures, the number is going up but the rewind knob does not rotate or rotates slightly when i roll. Is this a problem? I also opened the door to the film whilst I had taken a couple of pictures and noticed that the counter returned to 0. Is the film ruined now that I have opened the door?
sometimes, the film in the canister is loose, therefore, the rewind will only move after a few turns / shots. opening the door will reset the counter, and yes, it will expose the film to light.
Can the camera work without battery if you choose not to use flash?
Yep.
@@8storeytree is it recommended to use the flash or not?
@@clarissahaxhi5181 really depends on the lighting conditions and wat u wanna achieve.
Hey there! I accidentally opened the lid before I rewound the film. Is it true that if the roll gets "exposed" the film is damaged?
if the film is out of the canister and is exposed to light, yes.
Hi there. I just shot my first roll on this camera (i'm a newbie to 35mm film) and i noticed that the viewfinder doesn't do anything at all when I try to compose a shot. The lens doesn't reflect on anything the viewfinder does.
i.e. I tried pressing my whole finger on my lens and on the viewfinder, you can't see any bit of my finger
Does this usually apply for all of the point and shoot cameras (disposable ore reusable) or is my lens not working at all? I dont quiet understand what the viewfinder does at all
becos of the different position of the viewfinder and the lens, there will be a parallax error depending on the distance of your subject.
Hi! After you put in the film en closed the camera I saw you scrolling and then pressing de red photo button 1 time. Were you just showing us how to take a picture, or do you have to do this before you can start with taking pictures. (I hope this made sense haha)
usually we'd advance once or twice before we start taking photos as the first part of the negatives have already exposed to light.
@@8storeytree ok thank you! And does that mean that you have 2 photos less? So if you have 24 photos on your roll, you will have 22 because of this?
@@Myrthe_vdb it also depends on how much is 'pulled out' during the loading process. so cant really tell u the actual numbers. it is possible to get 38+ exposures as well from a negatives.
What if my film sprocket is clasped into all of the nibs, and everything is done the same like on this video but my rewind knob is not turning while I'm advancing my film? And also my counter is still on the dot between S and 1, even if I took like 5 test photos i don’t know what can be wrong
1) if you're able to advance and trigger the shutter, it means that the film is advancing. the negative in the canister may just be loose and it doesnt turn as much. though it shd still move after a few advances.
2) film counter is just indicative, it gets reset when film door is opened. so if it's stuck at S, it may be a case of a loose film door or some internal camera issue. (assuming #1 is ok)
@@8storeytree thank you very much for the help!! I thought that I broke something already hahah
hello! My AGFA film camera shutter is not working - despite putting a 36exp roll of film, the film advance lever has stopped at 24. The battery is not the issue - the flash is turning on and off.
My feeling is that this has to do with me accidentally pressing the rewind release button, but I am not sure. The rewind release button popped out, so afterwards, I was able to roll a little but it doesn't advance any further now. Do you have any idea on how I can fix this??
as in u're unable to advance further? jst to note, if the film door was opened or 'loose' , the film counter may reset. film counter is mainly for estimate of how many shots u've taken. if you can't advance further at 24 (film counter), maybe u've shot 36 already unknowingly. or the film is somehow stuck in the camera.
Is this the orange or the brown one?
Brown
@@Abdulxziz thanks
Hi Thanks for this helpful video! I am completely new in this type of camera,so how do I know that I don't shoot a picture on the same part of the film twice?😁
the shutter will not open if the film is not advanced. so no worries on that.
@@8storeytree Alright thank you!😊
Okay so I unloaded already my film, what happens to the rewind button at the bottom? It was still pressed. Will it be unpressed when i load a new film?
turn the advance wheel. it shd pop back out.
@@8storeytree okay, will do it. Thanks!!
And if the film is already placed we can put the battery or it will ruin the photos?
u can change the battery, it won't ruin the film as long as the film back is not opened.
Hi, I have a question. So i have a new film on this new agfa camera and i took a photo and it was ok but when i turned the flash on, the red light is there but it won't click to take another picture. Have any idea why it doesn't work?
Is ur film loaded?
Hello, if I advanced film all the way in, got 1 on the film counter but the rewind knob wasn't turning as I was doing all of that, will it still be okay or it is loaded wrongly?
update! I took some photots and it started turning 😆
@@ronniepepperoni4993 sometimes the film in canister is just loose, and may not immediately turn with the rewind knob. like this. ua-cam.com/users/shortsahm-Y3XcvKY
hi! do you know how to turn this camera off haha :o
U can only turn the flash off.
Does anyone know which aperture it gets when switching on the flash?
Hello! I forgot that whether I pressed the rewind release button when I rewind my film but it still finished the rewind.Will it affect the result of film?
Also, I want to ask that if I rewind the head of the film into the film roll, will it also affect the result of film? Thank you!
pressing the rewind button releases the gears so that u can rewind smoothly. forcefully rewinding without pressing the rewind button may damage them. It's fine for the film leader to be wind back completely, most people do that.
@@8storeytree thanks a lot😊
Hi the rewind knob doesn't turn at all but i have already taken 4 photos so is that bad ?
the film may be loose in the canister thus the rewind knob doesnt turn immediately in the few initial shots.
this camera can be use again and again after a complete photo roll?
It is reusable.
hi! i reloaded my agfa but the counter did not restart. i still continued shooting with my new roll though, would that be safe?
Shd be OK if you can advance and the shutter can be clicked.
ahh help !! my camera was winding properly, but i think the roll became stuck after a few shots, because when i wind the film to take the next photo, the rewind knob barely moves
the film may be loose in the film canister. can view this video to understand more. ua-cam.com/video/ahm-Y3XcvKY/v-deo.html If you're able to wind and reach the next frame, it shd be fine.
@@8storeytree i already took a few shots... is there a way to fix it without opening up the camera?
@@chaewonpark4755 nothing to fix if it's just loose film in the canister. Just continue shooting. It will be fine.
Did you solve the problem?
when I took a photo, how do I know how far I have to advance the film until I can take a new photo?
Til you can't advance further, that's the next frame.
is this the same camera as kodak ultra f9, filmneverdie niji and ilford one ?
They are similiar.
why does my rewind knob does not turn when i advance the film???
sometimes the film in the canister is loose. if u're able to advance and trigger the shutter, it shd be fine. after a few turns, when the film tightens, it will move.
Ive taken so many pictures and now it says S !! Why is it saying this? Have i not loaded the film properly and now lost everything??
Pls someone help thank you
The film counter will reset if the film door was open or maybe loose.
my flash is charging up and the light turns on but when I take a shot it doesn't flash, any suggestions?
Sadly, it seems the flash is spoilt or there are circuit issues.
Hey! I just purchased this camera and I have a couple of questions.
Do you have to develop the pictures when taken? And if so, how?
How do you digitalise the pictures?
Thank you!
yes. u'd have to develop the film at the lab and have them scanned.
Hi! The wind button keeps turning, instead of clicking and stopping like it usually should when you want to take a picture and bc of this it doesnt shoot, what could this mean?
Is ur film loaded in properly?
@@8storeytree Someone at the camera store loaded it for me so I assumed it was, but I’m suspecting that the film might have shot loose from the rolling thingy… But one picture has already been taken so I probably can’t open it to check now right?
@@yerba2299 opening the film door will expose the film that is out of the canister. when advancing, is the rewind knob turning as well?
@@8storeytree No the discard knob doesnt turn…
@@yerba2299 probably the film wasn't loaded properly.
i accidentally put the flim thing all the way into the thing it comes out on.. can i even fix that?
not sure what u mean.
@@8storeytree like the little roll w the film u put in the camera, i somehow put it pack in the roll alll the way in and i cant get it out no more
@@ingaa5849 ah as in accidentally rewound the film al lthe way in. u can visit a photolab to help retrieve the film leader out. or if u can find something like this. ua-cam.com/video/_kR3UnHL0LM/v-deo.html
Is a brand new film camera?
This is a new camera that's still in the market. If that's what ure asking. 😁
@@8storeytree thank you!!
@@8storeytree how's the durability so far? thanks!
@@pedrorei1829 so far, so good.
I just got a new camera and I don’t believe the wheel showing the amount of pictures is working. It stays around s and 1, could i be doing something wrong?
It also takes me a long time turning the wheel until its ready for the picture. Sometimes it turns very smoothly and than a second later its very hard to turn and makes a little noise
@@annevisker4033 probably means the film wasnt loaded properly or that the back film door is loose.
@@8storeytree hello! my camera also does this where the advance lever will keep spinning (i can sometimes be spinning it for 5 minutes before it eventually stops) I’m just wondering how could the film have not been loaded properly as I believe I did everything that was on the video, any help on this please? 😊
@@shannonanderson8030 it's probably that the sprockets of the film ain't engaging on the gear properly. a few reasons that may cause this, film door loose, gears worn out, film sprockets wear etc.
@@8storeytree thank you so much that’s really helpful! Are these easy fixes do you know or will I have to replace the camera?
Can i use kodak portra 800 for this camera?
yes u can.
How do you know if the film is full?
ua-cam.com/video/Jq_AEQpYhS0/v-deo.html
Does it come with film?
nope
what should you do if you load the film wrong?
u can rewind back the film and reload it. though u need to visit a lab for assistance to retrieve the film leader if u accidently rewound too much.
how to set up ISO ?
there's no iso setting for this camera.
Every time i load it and start to scroll i hear a click, I am unable to take a picture
sorry. not easy to assist without more info. not too sure what 'click' sound u mean.
I just bought this exact camera, what film would be best to use for it? I notice on the front of the camera it says 31mm but the film you’re using is 35mm. Can I use 35mm or does it have to specifically be 31mm?
31mm is the focal length of lens, not about the film. the camera used 35mm(135) film. u can check out 8storeytree.com/ishootfilm/ , click on 'shopping guide' for an FAQ guide. hope it helps.
Hey, how do you digitalise the photos ? Thanks :)
u'd have to develop the film in a photo lab and request them to be scanned instead of them being printed.
What is that red light at the top of my camera that’s always on?
Did u try using the flash?
Is it a problem if I roll up my film too much when pulling it out? Thank you!
as in rewinding too much? nope, there wont be an issue.
OK, thanks a lot!!
Is it half frame
this is. ua-cam.com/video/SGwrtnWb0tA/v-deo.html
Hey, how to transfer the pictures on the phone?
Films will have to be sent to a photo lab, developed, to get the pictures. They can provide you the softcopies. .
What film do you use for this?
it can fit any 35mm film.
How can i transfer the photos to my phone?
u'd have to develop the film at the lab and have the negatives scanned.
i cant get the film counter to go from S to 1. Do you have any suggestions as to why this could be?
1) Film is not loaded.
2) Film is not loaded properly.
3) Film door is still open.
4) Faulty camera.
Hi, i would like to ask, is it possible to zoom on this camera?
nope
Hey :) we do have a Kodak gold film 200 in the camera right now. It’s 36 pictures, but the camera is just for 27?
Can we take 36 pictures or will that destroy the film ?
it's fine to use 36 exp as well.
@@8storeytree So once it has reached frame 27, it's time to replace it, correct?
@@tonysoprano4883 the camera is not just for 27 exposures. it can shoot up to 36+
@@8storeytree ok, how do I go pass 27? I can't take more pictures and the film does not advance more than 27.
@@tonysoprano4883 it shd not be stuck. probably some film or initial loading error. or that the counter was reset halfway while you were shooting.
Hi, what happens if I press the release button by mistake? Thank u in advance
If the film is not advanced yet, the shutter will not open. So it's safe. 😁
@@8storeytree I did 3 photos before that, but now it gives me the letter "S" and no more numbers... I tried again now and it seems to work again, but i hope that the others photos are still in the film
@@serena5474 did u open the film back cover?
@@8storeytree nop
@@serena5474 the film counter will only reset if the film cover was opened. Though sometimes it's just slightly loose, causing the counter to reset. Anyway, it shd be fine if the film cover is not opened.
Hi! Thanks for the tutorial but how do I know if I’ve taken the picture or not?😁
Film has to be developed for the pictures.
