Earl Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Love the film! Especially the first shot of the M3. Thank you=) I love film. I didn't edit any of these. They're all natural pictures. Are you familiar with ISO settings for film? I have been using the 200 speed FujiFilm film, with a 175 ISO setting. It seems to work well in some situations, but not in others. I would love to really dive in and learn how to use my camera properly. The thing that usually doesn't work so well for me is the auto focus. I am not sure how it works. I thought that if I depress the button slightly, it'll focus on whatever is in the middle of the focal range, and then I can move the camera while keeping it depressed to have that range in focus. Sometimes that works, others it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 iso with film is a pretty simple concept. lower iso film is less sensitive to light, higher iso is more sensitive to light. shooting in daylight requires 100 iso, cloudy/sun is more like 400 iso and night shots are 1600 iso, as an example. of course, no matter which you pick, it has to be balance with your shutter/aperture to get the right amount of light and using higher iso results in more grainy images, so its a balancing act. if you've worked with a digital camera and its ISO, its really the same except with film you obviously can't change it for every shot, you have to shoot a whole roll of it.

Earl Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ah now I get it. Now when I turn the wheel do I want to set that at what ISO film I am using, or is it alright to set it slightly higher/lower like I have been doing? Any recommendations on what I could have done better in my pictures above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 the wheel should be set to match whatever film you are using so the sensor on the camera knows what film you've loaded. you can set it differently, but its meant to be set to match. some deeper research would probably reveal some artistic reason for mismatching, but I dont know what it is. as far as autofocus goes, i would guess that its like most cameras that when you're in auto it focuses on whatever the camera guesses is best, or on some point (such as the center). consult your manual or the internets.

I told myself to never use auto when I bought this camera, and so far it's worked out great. I haven't shot one picture in auto, all have been manual or on aperture priority. Practice makes perfect... if there is such a thing. You got me to take my Cyber-Shot off of easy mode. It takes pretty good pictures without me knowing anything. I am starting to play with the options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E36M3#215 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Finally got my pictures developed from memorial weekend in Door County. There are also a few from a roll I took hanging out with TJ sometime last year. They'r not the best, but they were all taken with my 1981 Minolta Hi Matic AF2. I need to learn more about ISO settings (instagram shot of the camera) My cottage is right by that boat in door county that's really funny you took pics of that I have pics of my e60 and M3 on the pier next to that boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
