Nick Mulder Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 righto: nit-pick #2 How do we finish the sentence ? You already have by putting a full stop there and the sentence is written as if it has ended already anyway. Not saying I'm the master of grammar or anything, just wondering what your point is ?

Premium Member Alessandro Machi Posted June 20, 2007 Author Premium Member Share Posted June 20, 2007 When in doubt, change the batteries out. (these don't have to rhyme). I had an older Super-8 camera that appeared to be dead even when I put duracells in. I changed out the duracells with another brand of batteries, (Kodak actually) and the camera started working. ALWAYS try more than one set of batteries before declaring a camera non-functional, and the second set of batteries should be from a different battery manufacturer.

Nate Downes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 When in doubt, change the batteries out. (these don't have to rhyme). I had an older Super-8 camera that appeared to be dead even when I put duracells in. I changed out the duracells with another brand of batteries, (Kodak actually) and the camera started working. ALWAYS try more than one set of batteries before declaring a camera non-functional, and the second set of batteries should be from a different battery manufacturer. Indeed. When I bought my Chinon 200/12XL, it would not budge for anything. I thought it completely a waste of money, especially since it shipped from down under. It sat with fresh batteries in it for 8 hours, yet when I took out the batteries, they tested flat, dead. I was puzzled, so in went new batteries again. A few hours later, I was chatting with someone, griping about my dead camera, when I pressed the shutter. Suddenly, it roared to life! Turns out, the 200/12 has a rechargeable internal battery, and that had run out. It drained the first batteries to recharge it. It's run without issue ever since.

Mark Williams Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 the autoexposure meter is better than just guessing, unless there is a big bright light or sun shining onto the lens. Film it both ways Get some cutaway footage Put a new Battery in record a few seconds then play it back before filming all day and finding the whole thing was wrong You think there is a little itty bitty bit of film caught in the rollers on your mag it means undoing the screws and physically checking. DO IT because there is. Is there a hole in the changing bag? Check it. The camera door might not be closed properly meaning your sixth sense is working. Ill get by. I wont need spare bulbs for my lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
