    Hi, thank you. Exposure compensation can be accomplished by changing the ISO setting. Best wishes, Ralf

    Use the iso settings to compensate your exposures. You don't need a separate exposure compensation dial. Just remember to return the iso setting when you're finished. You can shoot all the slide film your heart desires.

      Would you use a seperate meter for that and then match the settings on the AV1?

      @@flowermaze___ if you have a separate meter, you can use it to help get yourself in tune with the internal camera meter. Otherwise, just remember the internal camera meter is center-weighted, but the background in the frame can still throw your exposure way off. For example, in snow I have been increasing exposure up to 1 2/3 stops.

      I think it’s a Canon standard one. To be honest, it’s really annoying, as it makes it difficult to open and close the back. I removed it.

    Dear sir ..
    if I have a Nikon FG20 and a Nikon Fe, what is the third Nikon camera that you recommend for me like (Fm or Fm2 or Fe2 .....), in terms of accepting all lenses such as Ai-s ais and nikkor s auto and non ai-s and DC lenses.
    There will also be a diversity between electronic and mechanical cameras.
    and the same thing on canon camera، Note that I have a Canon AV1 now.
    Thanks

    • @threeminutepro
      @threeminutepro  Рік тому

      If you need to use non-AI lenses, then you need a camera that will flip the coupling prong out of the way. So that’s Nikon FM and FE, or some models of the F2.

    Hello! I purchased an AV-1 a few days ago, and everything was working fine until it came time for me to rewind the film. I pressed in the button on the bottom, but it stuck. Now, I can't take any pictures. Nothing happens when I press the shutter button or any other buttons, except for the battery button which confirms the battery is working.
    Please, if you have any clue as to why my camera is not working, tell me! Any help is appreciated!

    I got my fathers AV-1, I am not sure whether I can actually use it or not. This mainly because of the film that's required and I have no clue whether anyone still has the skills to develop it. Aside from being used to a Nikon D5200 myself and the film not being digital. What would you advice me to do? I am from the Netherlands and I am thinking whether to keep it or sell it. I do have a few lenses for it as I got all of his equipment after he passed away. The selling reason would be that I am looking at a possible upgrade for my own camera, I would like to get to a D750 or D850 if possible financially. I'm not rich at all, so I really do wish to ask for honest and fair opinions and advice only.

    • @threeminutepro
      @threeminutepro  3 роки тому +2

      I used the D5100 for years. Then I upgraded to a full frame digital, and didn’t enjoy photography so much because of the size of the camera.
      Now moved to Micro 4/3 digital and film.
      You can buy plenty of film for the AV1

      @@threeminutepro I sure should look around locally to see whether I can indeed get that film in and if someone can teach me how to use it properly. I just checked out the camera and it looks a little dirty but aside from that it looks like a brand new camera. Not sure, but there might be a film roll in it. Ill ask a specialist as I rather not touch it as it is. No idea what might be on it either.
      I just noticed as well that the D780 was released, so I am looking into reviews to see whether I should throw in extra money to get that one instead. After seeing 1 video I must say I am already pleasantly surprised. But 1 video doesn't finish my research of course.
      Thank you for your comment, much appreciated!

    I have a chrome version - the black version was not rare but was not common and cost a little more. NOTE - sticky shutters can be an issue with A, T and early EOS cameras - so check carefully before purchase.
