What s it like to use a mechanical film camera?

Actually, I'm also a novice photographer, and I haven't been particularly experienced in taking pictures on film, but I think my experience should still be helpful to you.

I shoot film, probably up to now, a total of three rolls of film, before that, in fact, I have always used a digital camera to take pictures, but I think it is too expensive, because the digital camera I use is a residual frame, I always feel that the hand is not very good, so I want to try the kind of full-frame camera, after buying it, I found that there are still some problems in many places.

First of all, the problem of metering, because the camera I bought back is too old, so basically the metering is not very easy to use, I later thought of a way, on the mobile phone under an app, that app can be metered, maybe the two are used together, in addition, I also bought a focusing eyepiece on the Internet, every time I take a picture, I have to bring a lot of equipment, but in fact, the effect is still very good.

When I was shooting before, I may have felt that it would be a little slowEspecially when taking portraits, it will appearLots of questionsBut this is still a lot different from a digital camera, especially when you want to develop it after you finish shooting, it looks very good, and the photos after coming out are not only different in color, but I don't know how to describe the effect after it comes out, but it has a very retro feeling.

And I think it's very good that when I shoot with film, in terms of composition, I think it's a little easier than using a digital camera before, it seems to automatically adjust it for you**, or maybe I have experience after using it for a long time, and now I basically won't use the metering app on the phone to take pictures, you can measure it yourself in a scene, estimate it's**, so the quality of the shot is still pretty good.

Summary

In short, taking pictures with this film camera is a very magical feeling, and the sense of accomplishment it brings is incomparable to that of digital cameras.

Film cameras are also used by people, film cameras, that is, traditional cameras, film cameras are divided into monocular cameras and binocular cameras, film cameras are a type of modern cameras, and all the principles of today's digital cameras are derived from film cameras.

A camera is an optical device used in photography that uses the principle of optical imaging to form an image and record images with a negative. In modern social life, there are many devices that can record images, and they all have the characteristics of photographing reed cameras, such as medical imaging equipment, astronomical observation equipment, and rock shooting.

There is a line where the aperture value shows the following words: 2,

The other revolution is the speed value of the shutter: b 300

The last infinity sign (the one that is the 8 that goes sideways, I don't know how to type that symbol) is focused.

In fact, you just need to determine the specifications of the film used, find someone else who knows photography, teach you, or find an older book on photography knowledge, and you're good to go.

1. Holding posture: The camera is held in the palm of the left hand, the fingers are fixed next to the lens, and the thumb is holding the back cover of the camera, because it is more convenient to control the back cover and film.

2. Check whether there is a roll in the machine. Before opening the back of the machine, turn the return rod in the direction indicated by the arrow above a few times to determine whether there is a negative in the machine. Even if there is a negative, it has been returned properly.

3. Open the back cover of the fuselage, the general way to open the back cover of the manual film SLR is to directly pull the rewind turntable up to open the back cover, but a more advanced machine, such as this FM2, will also add a small mechanism (that is, the position of the index finger of the sister paper), in case of accidental opening due to accidentally touching the switch, first dial the small buckle, and the brother plate can be pulled up after the rewind is turned.

4. Insert the film. Take out the film, to the left is the film chamber, and note that the protruding end of the film is facing down. Once the film is placed, remember to press down the rewind dial.

After getting stuck, press the film with the thumb of the left hand, and slowly rotate the film passer with the right hand to make the film taut, and try to make the film conform to the film track.

5. Check whether it is successful. After the negative is tightened and attached to the track, you can cover the back cover, and pay attention to whether the reversing turntable is followed by the rotation while passing the film, if it does not follow the rotation, it means that it is not on the roll! It is necessary to re-close the lid and install it.

Because the nostalgia complex has been cultivated, the current digital technology is too advanced, it is all lossless, the photos are perfectly realistic, there is no appreciation, and there are materials and accidents (no way to control the light) when film photography shoots things

Don't look at the upstairs, it's all nonsense, irresponsible, I'll tell you.

1.Film cameras record images captured by film, while digital cameras use CCD (and rarely CMOS) to capture images, and the information of the images is recorded in digital form (electronic files) on a memory card. CCDs and memory cards replace traditional film, which is why digital cameras are "digital" cameras.

This is where the advantages and disadvantages of digital cameras arise.

That eye-catching LCD viewfinder behind the digital camera. This is a selling point of digital cameras. In fact, using the LCD viewfinder is only an additional function of the digital camera, its main function is not framing, and if you change it to a monochrome menu display, the digital camera is still a true "digital" camera.

Whether it is a digital camera or a film camera, whether it is a photosensitive element on a CCD or a silver salt on film, they all have one common characteristic: the larger the area of a single pixel, the greater the dynamic range of the image, and the less noise. In this regard, many professional photography magazines provide detailed data.

2.From**Say, you use film, how expensive it is, and you can't see it after taking pictures How good is the digital camera, just see it after shooting, and then shoot if you are not satisfied with it, the film camera is up to 36 shots, and the digital camera can take hundreds of photos What do you say, right, The economic cost is of course a digital camera.

Film imaging is good, but it is expensive and troublesome, and the digital is more convenient The digital imaging system has CCD and CMOS CCD imaging is better, and the cost is higher, and the CMOS is relatively poor in imaging, but it saves power.

Film camera has its benefits, but also has its inconveniences, now there are many people like to use it because it has a lot of benefits, although the camera is very troublesome, every ** needs to be washed out, not so convenient, but its advantage is to make every **, every memory become cherished, you will not shoot so many **, not so much, so you will see each ** so precious, you will treasure it well. <>

Now in many cases, we shoot it with a digital camera, or directly with a mobile phone**, we have a lot, but we will not be so real, we are all casually shot, or stored in the mobile phone forever. There is no longer the joy we felt when we got a ** when we were children. In the past, when we were poorer and didn't have so much money, we were finally able to eat the meal we liked once, and the delicious food was very happy, but now for example, we are much more delicious, there are more delicacies from the mountains and seas, and we can afford to eat anything, but we are not so happy, and we feel that things are not so delicious.

**The camera may give us this kind of thing! What the film camera brings us are childhood memories, memories of the past, memories that we are reluctant to forget when we were children, and what it brings us are those precious bits and pieces of the past. Just like film cameras and digital cameras, they both have their pros and cons.

What you like to use depends on your personal choice, some people like film cameras, and many people like digital cameras or things or directly use mobile phones to take pictures, because mobile phones are very convenient and convenient to take pictures.

Film cameras are actually not very familiar to many people now, as Kodak slowly introduces the market, there are not many families who can have a darkroom at home. It's too much trouble, and I think there are fewer and fewer people using film cameras these days. Even if someone buys it, it's because of its low price.

But I do love film cameras, maybe because of the unforgettable memories. I remember when I was a child, I had a film camera at home, and my mother called it a "point-and-shoot camera" at that time, because it opened the door to my photography. When I was young, I didn't really understand the composition or anything, it was all based on my feelings, and I thought it looked good and liked it, so I slowly shot more and had my own feelings.

As I grew older and communicated with more people, I gradually learned to grow up and step into the door of photography. When I got my first DSLR, I was using film cameras less and less. But one day I found out that it was broken, and it couldn't be repaired.

However, this camera is still in my home today, after all, it is not just a camera, but a memory of my childhood, and it is also the opportunity for me to get into photography.

When you ask someone why they like to hold a film camera, some people may think before pressing the shutter because of the color and graininess of the shot. Maybe you will tell you that film cameras look better than DSLRs. Sometimes when shooting a vintage subject, a film camera is always included in the lens.

Nowadays, although there are fewer and fewer film cameras, there are still people who love it, and perhaps some are simply appearance associations and like its appearance; But I think more people should be like me because it means different things to us.

There is a feeling called "nostalgia", now that digital cameras are becoming more and more common, it has reached the era of "national photography", everyone can afford to buy a camera, can take pictures, and the threshold for becoming a photographer is getting lower and lower. At this time, people who had a little idea, or who had been exposed to film as a child, picked up the film again, and the film began to rejuvenate.

Shoot film because it's good-looking, because of the process, because of joy. I chose my favorite film camera on the Internet, looked up information on the Internet, learned about the camera, learned to load the camera, bought film, picked a good day, and set off with the camera on my back. The process of waiting for the film to be developed is long and joyful, and it is even better to have your own darkroom and be able to develop it yourself.

The film is a "girl" at this moment, and it is up to you to unveil her with your own hands. The graininess and delicacy of the film are not something that can be achieved by today's digital. <>

There are also some people who shoot film for the sake of a different mentality, digital shooting is too common, and it is good to play a little and be maverick.

Not many people actually like to use a film camera! This is a false proposition. 1. 36 pieces of film (38 shots) 3,4 yuan for the color 2o multi-black and white in the film era, and the colors are sent to the store to be processed (expensive to get the potion yourself) and the black and white are more processed by themselves.

Nowadays, people have less spare time, unlike the old era of big pot rice. And digital unlimited shooting, no money, post-processing, computer viewing and selection, absolute advantage!

I sold all my digital cameras and replaced them with film cameras, because digital cameras lose detail and have no better color reproduction than film cameras.
