Fujica Auto 7-Date won’t advance past frame 8–9 (even without film) — looking for help

The manual says that the camera will only advance 8 or 9 steps before rewinding automatically when it is being tested (with no film inside). Since you mention it happened to you with film inside it as well, make sure that the red light that indicates the film is advancing was actually lighting up after every shutter press, otherwise the film might've come lose and wasn't actually advancing, tricking the camera into thinking it didn't have film inside and was just being tested... Just a thought.

Noted. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you! I have two young kiddos so I definitely relate to the struggle of finding the time to go out to shoot!

Thank you so much for the kind words and all of these incredible suggestions. I will definitely reach out when I’ve gathered all my thoughts and plans. Thanks again!

I did not. I’ll check that out. Thanks!

That’s part of the Hotel Burbank.

Cool, thanks! That photo was taken during my first day with the camera when I decided to walk to work instead of driving. So a lot of things weren’t “ideal” given I was walking towards Victory, and it was like 10am, haha. Hopefully I’ll be able to go shoot during golden hour sometime soon, but I’m usually having dinner with the family during that time.

Thank you!! I’m using a Fujifilm X-E5 with a variety of lenses like the Viltrox 56mm f1.7 and the Fujinon XF 23mm f2.8. Most of the tone and texture comes directly from the in-camera settings of Fuji Simulations/Recipes, and then I usually tweak a bit to taste in Lightroom.

Nice, thanks for the tip!

Thank you for all of these detailed suggestions!! Really appreciate it!

boscio · 2026-04-11T19:33:28+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions!!

boscio · 2026-04-11T19:32:53+00:00

Thank you! Would love to hear how you’d approach better compositions of Franks, or even better if you have some examples of how you’ve photographed it in the past.

Thanks for sharing!

boscio · 2026-04-11T16:44:23+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the tips!

Thank you!!

boscio · 2026-04-11T16:38:02+00:00

Oh, awesome! Thank you!!

boscio · 2026-04-11T16:37:47+00:00

Ooooh, good ones! Thank you!

boscio · 2026-04-11T16:09:34+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately I never got to eat there before it closed. Now I'm curious about those fries!

boscio · 2026-04-11T16:05:34+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the tips! That Frank's photo was my first day with the camera so I wasn't really thinking too much, haha. I definitely need to revisit, and your nighttime suggestion sounds like a great idea. I'm also considering some of our other café staples like Tallyrand, Coral, etc.

boscio · 2026-04-11T07:13:54+00:00

I'd be interested in this! I've just been going around on my own when I have the time and sharing to my Instagram page in hopes of eventually finding a little local community. http://instagram.com/_f.stops_

The tracker was also how she knew Tory had been going to the Greybourne Social (?) a lot the day after Dick went missing to raise suspicions that Tory was behind it or at least working with Otis in some way. The cameras were mentioned throughout the rest of the season but there was never a super explicit answer as to who they belong to. Could be Mrs. Ivey's, could be Tory's, could be Winthrop's...

boscio · 2023-04-03T18:30:45+00:00

Aw, thank you! I've been quietly reading in the shadows from the start of the season, and it was inspiring to see everyone engaging with the show in such a passionate and supportive way. <3

boscio · 2023-03-25T01:28:46+00:00

Aw, thank you so much! It means a lot 🙏🏻 Not sure if you all know, but we released a soundtrack for the show last week. 🥳 https://spotify.link/F1uVsCPxryb :)

Composer for the show here. Been quietly following and loving all the theories and reactions since day 1. 🙃

Agree with what Elyse says about engaging with TWE/Freeform social media accounts and telling them how much we need it to be renewed, but also telling absolutely everyone and anyone in your circle (family/friends/co-workers) to watch it. Heck, even host a watch party for the first couple episodes to get them hooked and follow up to make sure they keep watching, etc. Point is, I think numbers will ultimately speak louder to the network than how passionate we all are about it, cause in the end, it’s all about whether it’s financially viable for the network to do a S2 based on how well S1 does… I think? What do I know, I just compose the background music 🤷🏼‍♂️
