Great to hear that! Exploration and discovery is one of the things that are missing in most modern workflows. The idea is to try different things and have fun in the process, while hopefully learning a thing or two about the craft. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts as well, I really appreciate it 😁🙏🏼

Yeah it's just for reference only, obviously this process has to be completed in a film changing bag or darkroom, but since i was ruining that roll on purpose for demonstration purposes of the video, I figured might as well try to explain what would look like 😂 Thanks for watching and for sharing a comment as well, Cheers! 😁🙌🏼

Agreed! Basically, a pinhole camera but brought down to the lowest possible amount, these are useful for people just starting out or wanting to try something different. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! Cheers 😁✨

Thanks man! I hope it was useful in any way or entertaining, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! Cheers ✨🙌🏼

Yep, the Fuji camera can shock you hard a couple of time even after removing the battery. Something I know from experience. The magic of capacitors.

Haha now you know! 😂 this is precisely why I recommend the Kodak Funsaver instead, so easy to open up and reload as well, day and night difference. Let me know if you end up getting one of those and reloading it as well, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it 😁🙌🏼

That is awesome! Happy to hear people still shooting film and giving little cams like this a try! I hope the video was helpful! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment! Cheers man 🙌🏼😁

You're welcome! Looking forward to hear your experiences after you've reloaded and used it! Once you get into the rhythm of reloading the camera, then you'll keep going and never go back! 😂 Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts! I appreciate it 🙌🏼✨

Interesting to hear! Where do you get them by the bulk? I'm glad there's people out there still using the film from those cameras. I shoot mainly digital but still like to play with these every now and then, and show other's how to use and reload them in case they're on a really tight budget. Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences as well! I appreciate it 😁🙌🏼

@@Jorge-Perez I got them off of ebay, you have to be careful and check often, sometimes they are expired or stored in non optimum condition. Sometimes people have events or weddings and they never use them all, they sit around and they dump them on line. People however also want crazy prices, shop around often! Bargains are out there!

Mainly just loading the film. Let me clarify. The camera is safe to open when you completed the film roll that comes inside (meaning, you took all the photos that you had available and now the shot counter sits at 0). You can open the camera safely since all the exposed film sits inside the film canister. So daylight will not affect it. But when you are about to open a brand new film roll pack and reload the camera, all of that has to be done in a darkroom, a film changing bag from Amazon, or a closet with minimal light, etc. Hope that helps! Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well, and good luck, you can do this! 💪🏼🎉

I'm so glad! I have a couple other videos on disposable camera and new ways of reloading that might help you out as well! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts as well! I appreciate it! 🙌🏼✨

That's right, it's called darkroom for a reason. Alternatively you can get a film changing bag from amazon and do it there as well. Any sort of environment with no light will work. Hope that helps, and good luck! 🙌🏼

My pleasure! I hope it was useful or helpful, thanks for watching and good luck! 😁🙌🏼

As long as you keep reloading it, you can keep using it. Any 35mm film will work on this camera, retail rolls normally have 36 exposures, you can buy them in packs of multiple units as well. Long story short, you load it, take the 36 photos, reload it with a new film roll, take the 36mm, so on and so fort. Hope this was helpful and the video was useful as well. Thanks for watching and good luck! 🙌🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez thanks for the answer, it's really helpful!☺️

Yes, any 35mm film roll will work, most rolls come with 36 exposures. This will be specified on the product box of plastic wrapping, so it's easy to see. As long as you use 35mm film, it will fit and work regardless of the brand. I have a never video with a more simple way to reload the camera just in case you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bclllsKLuLeWep8.html Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts as well! Good luck and cheers! 🙌🏼✨

Thanks, Aina!, Correct, everything from 05:07 onward has to be done on a changing bag, or a dark room, or dark closet. This way lets you experience and understand the process of film reloading and what goes on inside the camera. However, this is just one method to reload the camera, I have made another video with a second method. A bit easier for some, and does not require a changing bag or darkroom. You can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bclllsKLuLeWep8.html I hope that was helpful to you, or useful, Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts as well! Good luck with the reloading part ✨🙌🏼 Cheers!

Hey there, the easiest way is to buy a film-changing bag, these help you get used to the process and go through the motions of it. Alternatively, you can also check out one of my updated videos where I replace a film roll with no darkroom or film changing bag needed, you can check that video out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bclllsKLuLeWep8.html Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and good luck with the process! Cheers 🙌🏼✨

The only reason you need the bag is to protect the stuff inside from light, a totally dark room is also ok if you're comfortable with it

It depends on the look that you want and what you're trying to achieve. Similar cameras like the Fujifilm Quicksnap 400 have almost identical settings in terms of aperture and shutter speed, but the ISO is lower. Higher ISO film stocks and often used for indoor shooting, portraits, close-ups, and that sort of photography. Not always, but it's worth keeping in mind. Lower ISO films like 200 are ideal for outdoor shooting, sunny days, and lots of light. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and for taking the time to watch and share a comment as well! Cheers ✨🙌🏼

The counter progresses with each shot, but it does not hinder the shooting mechanism. After your shot counter goes to 0, it will circle back to 27. So after your first 27 shots, it's your job to keep track of how many you have left, but you can still shoot with no issues. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it 🙏🏼✨

The original darkrooms used to have a really faint red light, I suggest you try to keep the environment as dark as possible, or ar the very least avoid direct light to the film roll. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! I appreciate it 🙏🏼✨

Red works for non-panchromatic black and white film. Panchromatic black and white, as well as color films, must be handled in complete darkness as they are sensitive to red light.

Try it! As long as the camera is reusable, then you can put any film you want inside. The film is watch determines the sensitivity, the Colour or B&W results. etc. If you're unsure and you're looking for cheap cameras that can be easily opened up and reloaded, then check the Kodak Funsaver camera. I've made a video about it, and you can watch it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bclllsKLuLeWep8.html Thanks for watching and taking the time to share a comment, I appreciate it! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Hey there, make sure you completed the previous roll before opening the camera, then you can install the new film roll in a dark room or a film changing bag like I mentioned in the video. And you should be good to go Thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! 🙌🏼

Hi Dana, It does not seem like the Kodak Advantix 3700IX uses regular 35mm film. It's a different type of format called APS, more info can be found here: processonephoto.com/mail-order-advantix-aps-film-developing.htm It's not a common format, and most places won't develop that type of film, I would suggest just getting Kodak FunSaver disposable camera and shooting regular 35mm film, that way you can reloaded often with no issues, and get it developed at local photo labs as well. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment, good luck! 🙌🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez okay thank you!

Maybe, although like I mentioned in this video, reloading the fuji is fairly complicated, not sure if it's worth the time and effort to try to reload it. But I'll see what I can do, stay tuned! Thanks for watching, and good luck! 😁🙌🏼

@@Jorge-Perez pls do it!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@Jorge-Perez please do this! I have a fuji disposable camera and i am willing to reuse it 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

I have tried it, the camera falls apart, it's not made to be open and try to reload it. More information in my latest video called: "Ultimate Disposable Camera Guide - Which to Buy? How To Reload?" Hope that helps everybody considering the Fujifilm QuickSnap400. Cheers! ✨🙌🏼

Most photolabs are relatively the same when it comes to disposable cameras and cheaper options. When you get better cameras and more expensive film then developing your own film is a good way to 1. Appreciate and control the entire process. 2. Do it right. Some people or labs might mess up your film if they don't know what they are doing. And in my experience, retail stores like walmart of photolabs are full of people that just don't give a damn. The advantages of using a lab is that you don't need to buy specialized equipment that can get pricey, like all the chemicals for developing film, a film negative scanner so you can get digital copies of your files, etc. But to get started, there's nothing wrong with a regular photolab, I've done it and it's just a fast way to get the job done, Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well! I appreciate it! 🙏🏼✨

The Fuji camera is fairly difficult to open and to try to reload, and most of the time people end up breaking parts of it. So if you want to reload a disposable camera, then choosing a camera that is easy to reload is fairly important. That's why I suggest using the Kodak FunSaver disposable camera, cheap, easy to use, and easy to reload as well. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and good luck! 😁🙌🏼

You have to get the film developed at a photo lab, there you can choose to either print the images or get the negatives scanned into digital files. Alternatively you can buy the necessary items and develop the film at home with a DIY dark room. Hope that was helpful, thanks for watching and good luck! 🙌🏼✨

@@Jorge-Perez omg thank u so much❤

Do you mean winding up the film before taking each individual shot? it will stop automatically and that is how you know that you are ready to take a shot. If you're referring to the actual film canister when you are reloading it, you will see the white strip on the film roll. Hope that helps, thanks for watching and commenting as well! And good luck! 🙏🏼😁

Yeah, these are so inexpensive that is probably not worth it for them to try to invest more and make them reusable. The plastic camera is just a way to sell you the actual film roll. Luckily for us, this camera is fairly easy to open up and reuse, so there's hope! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to share a comment as well! I appreciate it 😁🙌🏼

they do kodak makes the m35 which is reloadable, but it is a little more expensive than disposible cameras

Any 35mm film roll will work, these normally come with 36 exposures as well, so you get a little bit more than the preloaded film! Cheers! 🙌🏼

As I mentioned in the video, you could use a film-changing bag, a dark room or a closet, as long as you memorize the motion and the steps then you should be fine. I have an updated version of this video where you don't really need one, link here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bclllsKLuLeWep8.html Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment as well, cheers! 😁✨

There is a chance that some of the images are still there, but exposing the film to light ruins it. That's how they develop film at photo labs, So I would try to do it in a closet or dark area with barely any light at all. hope that helps, thanks for watching and good luck with the process!

I'm considering doing a video on that, but it's not a quick/easy process, you need some specialized equipment, so it might take some time. But if you're serious about photography and developing photos fairly frequently, then yeah, it makes total sense to develop it yourself. The process involves mixing chemistry, soaking the film in it for a specific amount of time to develop the negative, and then scan that if you want digital files. Hope that gives you a rough idea of what to expect. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment as well! I appreciate it! ✨🙏🏼

Yes you can! any 35mm film roll will work on this camera, just check that the film roll that you're planning to buy says "35mm film" these normally have 36 exposures or shots. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, and good luck! ✨🙌🏼

Yes, the film reel might feel a bit more snug, since there's more film rolled on it, but it will work for sure. Just make sure to readjust the shot counter from 27 to 36, that way you can accurately keep track of your shots. I hope that was helpful, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment as well! Cheers ✨🙏🏼

Use ilford ortho film so u can expose it to darkroom redlight and it will not affect it

Are you referring to the new film stock? any photo lab, any large superstore, and most online retailers: Costco, Walmart, Amazon, eBay, local camera stores, and local photo labs as well. I've seen it in best buy as well (at least here in Canada). Hope that helps, thanks for watching and for dropping a comment as well, cheers! 😁🙌🏼

Not sure which one are you using in particular, but the spool has to be accessible, the film has to go somewhere, it's normally from the film roll to the spool and vice versa. Try to see if there's a way to access or open the spool without breaking it. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and good luck! 🙌🏼

@@Jorge-Perez Thank you for replying so quickly and just replying in general(: I got it open! but the spool inside isn't "hollow" like yours if that makes sense? it just has indents sort of but there is no hole that goes all the way through like yours does. /:

You could probably either try to modify it or get one from elsewhere, maybe 3d printed? There's a chance your library has a 3d printer you could use for it, or if it doesn't then there's lots of businesses of varying sizes that can print it for you and especially since it's so small id expect it to be cheaper

As long as you don't break it or force it, then it should not be a problem for reusing permanently. I've reloaded this camera many times already, don't see any issues or problems. The camera is cheap plastic though, so make sure you don't break the plastic tabs, any pins etc and you should be good to go! Hope that helps! thanks for watching and for dropping a comment! and good luck! ✨😁

@@Jorge-Perez thanks best regards

Thanks for taking the time to watch! I hope it was helpful or entertaining, I appreciate the love 😁🙏🏼

@@Jorge-Perez helpful indeed thank you for sharing ✨❤️

Agreed! everyone should own an affordable film camera as well. But not everyone is starting out with the same technical knowledge, that's why I've suggested people to start with this if they have no experience at all, and then later move to another film camera. Thanks for watching and sharing a comment as well! Cheers 😁🙌🏼

@@Jorge-Perez Thank you for the great video. It made me decide to go out and use the point and shoots I acquired recently. All this advise on you tube gets people into film photography which is a good thing
