I just randomly got a point and shoot from my grandma and I knew basically nothing, this was a good place to start. I'm currently reading and rereading the manual and will hopefully buy film and batteries soon. Thank you for making this video it was very helpful :)

Point and shoots are amazing! I think every photographer should have one. It's great for traveling and can also act as a secondary camera.

The first tip about backing up a little with loading the film was perfect. I couldn’t get my KB28 to load for so long until I tried that!!

[InstantAnalogAdventures]

Thanks for all this info! I've used my point and shoot maybe once when I was barely getting into film photography and never visited it again because I still had no idea how it worked. After watching this, I can gladly say I am now loading it up with Portra and ready to go out!

wow oh my god I thought the camera I just bought was broken but it turns out I wasn't loading it properly lmaooo thank YOU

Wow! The DX code thing is something I wanna try but actually scared to try! But it's absolutely amazing to have a hack !! This is the actual " film camera life hacks " that no one knows they need it !

[drtyler]

Just bought a Point and Shoot a few days ago. Perfect timing with this video. Many thanks!

[julianwelter]

I'm watching this for an EAST project and this helped so much. Thank you so much. I love the videos too

[sshadmani]

So informative Hashem 😊 I didn't know about modifying the DX code that's so cool! Great production value, and fantastic explanations. You're amazing babe ❤️

[Geoanna]

you genius! My point and shoot wasnt taking two new rolls and you said to clean the battery compartment because of battery corrosion.. and boom! its took the new film right away! Thanks so much!!

[padmarai]

I have learnt so much from this video than any other videos out there about film cameras. I really appreciate it. Thank you

[Mmxxaamm]

Wow! I was blown away by the quality of your video, for many reasons stated by everyone on this comment section, but for me, mainly because of the photos, there are some great shots in there!

If you could make a video on how to use some of the manual controls this cameras have that'll be amazing. I have a Contax T2 and I really want to make the most out of her while she's alive, so it'd be cool if you can explain a little bit about the aperture ring, exposure compensation and focal distance for certain situations. Subscribed!

This i such a helpful video! I have a bunch of point and shoots and also rolling 35mm film into empty canisters, so this is huge.
