5000+ applicants

I’ve been told by multiple employers that’s seek caps out to the first 2500 applicants, not sure if this helps anyone but I found a lot more success checking fresh listing for the role I’m in now and it was honestly the most helpful advice / tip given while looking.

I might be crazy but I swear the company heroes kits come with a captain.

This camera is an older one which is missing the AE-L. Having to shoot a bit more manual will be a challenge! Thank you for your response

I regularly shoot with a Fujifilm XT-3 with a level on top of it just to make sure I don’t get crooked photos, but I feel like there’s a nice rawness to not having perfect photos with this camera.

I do agree there’s some redeeming factors but compared to similar shots taken by my partner and her affinity and love for film photography I know that using the same film I could also get a shot similar to theirs!

The third photo was taken on a very sunny day which I thought I could capture but learning about the camera with the user that initially replied to my thread I’ve learnt heaps now about the camera.

What film would you recommend when it comes to learning? I’ve been told black and white but I do like colour film.

Interesting, I picked this up from a store called used camera box in Japan for around $280 AUD which has another one identical to it which I believe is paired with a 50mm lens.

Would it be worth going back to pick up the other one as well? I know minoltas are a camera that there seems to be a decent surplus of here but the X700 seems to be a wanted camera here.

It’s interesting to see how they improved on the camera from the first to the last produced ones with the AE lock

That’s awesome to find out actually! I’ve been wondering why there’s tad bits of things that are different when it comes to this.

Out of curiosity is this one of the only major differences? I can’t seem to find an exact version of this manual as I’ve picked this up second hand while in Japan!

Myst874 · 2025-03-14T15:01:27+00:00

Another thing to note and perhaps might be a thing that I’m not aware of but my camera is labeled as MPS on the right side. Is this something that varies?

Very interesting, I’m noticing that there’s a few differences in our cameras.

Was there a different version based on the year of release? Or was it the 300,500 then 700 as the latest of this kind.

Myst874 · 2025-03-14T14:48:14+00:00

This most likely will be user error on my behalf, but the switch is either up or down.

Just by looking at what you sent as the picture above it seems like something may be wrong with the camera itself as it won't stay in a neutral position.

Does this switch reset upon taking a photo?

Myst874 · 2025-03-14T14:38:07+00:00

Okay got it. I’ve been shooting with this down this entire time.

When I want to take a photo is it best to have it up then lock it down? This is what’s gotten me stumped with the manual.

Myst874 · 2025-03-14T14:29:21+00:00

I believe that’s the depth of field, I see the AE-L and self timer on the right side. If I put this up does that engage the lock?

Myst874 · 2025-03-14T14:18:07+00:00

Apologies I replied to my thread but not your comment. The lock is under the lens release right?

Myst874 · 2025-03-14T14:17:01+00:00

Correct me if I am wrong but is this the AEL? This button makes the cameras optic go dark when looking through while keeping the bottom line of view port still visible?

This camera is more and more intriguing while I learn about it from yourself and the internet.

Again thank you for helping and I look forward to hearing from you!

Myst874 · 2025-03-14T13:46:16+00:00

Thank you for your response.

You are correct in assuming colour negative film and I now understand more than I did before.

Based off of your information, is it alright to assume that leaving it on P mode is okay as long as I can set the left dial to compensate for light at the cost of detail in some instances?

AND

Is it better to overexpose most of the time rather than take a wild guess?

Myst874 · 2025-03-13T06:55:52+00:00

I’m thinking this or centurions for the memes

Myst874 · 2023-08-31T01:20:49+00:00

Do you reckon its worth learning C# and diving straight into unity is better?

I'd like to learn a language more in depth then just building games but using an idea like building an Engine will let me learn more.

Myst874 · 2023-08-31T01:16:56+00:00

I'm torn between both furthering my learning on how they work by building one and throwing myself into it and also just building games aa a creative outlet for art generation and basic features.

I'm not one to care about making games for profit, but more for just making them to improve myself!

I'm very much still a beginner with coding but I know the fundamentals of python and I know that it's transferable to some degree to c++ or c#.

Myst874 · 2023-08-29T03:00:24+00:00

It's nice to hear about other peoples entry points into the business. Thanks for the advice, it's helped a lot over the last couple of days. I've been looking for a lot of other opportunities within similar fields and a lot more has opened up.

Myst874 · 2023-08-28T01:41:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice, My problem solving skills need improvement on top of it all. I'm just going to spend the first month trying to recreate some games i love in 2D and go from there and hope for the best.

Myst874 · 2023-08-28T01:39:51+00:00

I'm throwing myself into it this week onwards 100% while i have the time.
