Nikon 3 F - One of the cameras that adopt the programmed and manual system at the same time.
The system programmed at position - A - gives priority to the shutter speed, ie the camera determines the shutter speed based on the location of the lens aperture that you have chosen and according to the subject and its importance in relation to the aperture.
It is not possible in this system to adopt the lens aperture automatically, and the numbers that I talked about +2 and -2 are for adjusting the exposure.
Please review the photos posted in this section for more details.
1- An automatic imaging device that gives a red light when shooting.

With this information, we hope that we have provided you and the readers interested in this camera with the full and necessary details, and we are ready to answer any other question about any unclear point in this field⏹

⏺ Do you recommend a Zen 11 camera? .

After I found that the camera I had, which is an Olympus (EE-2), would not help me get what I wanted from the pictures because of its modest capabilities, a friend advised me to get a Zenit camera - 11 or 16 - but he warned me that the latter - Zenit 16 - needed for developing techniques. Of course, it is not available here in Syria.
What do you think of choosing “Zenith 11” and does it really allow me the capabilities that I miss in Olympus? Especially for the (B) pause and the presence
A reflex mirror (SLR), and is the meter in the aforementioned camera sufficient for proper calibration? Otherwise, I hope you can advise me of another model.

Suleiman al-Jijkli

Camera - Zenit - 11, there is nothing wrong with it and it has the technical specifications that you are looking for and which you mentioned in your message... However, you must first make sure that the agent of this type of cameras has actually secured the accessories and spare parts with the possibility of repairing them in the event of any malfunction, otherwise, We advise you to choose another type of camera, Pantex, for example, or Chinon, or others ⏹

⏺ Photography for magazines

Please advise me of a method by which I can photograph for magazines. Is there a special camera or a special way for the camera, or does it require accessories for the camera?

Khaled Abdullah Al-Hafir
Khobar - Saudi Arabia

For close-up photography or transportation - transferring images from magazines or other images - it is preferable to use a lens Macro and make sure when photographing that the lens aperture is closed - f / 16 - or f / 22 if possible, to ensure sufficient clarity and be sure to use films with a low sensitivity of 100 aza or less, to obtain color saturation and apparent softness, and if you use a lot of these For business, you should adopt a tripod for the camera, especially for transportation operations. This is the only necessary accessory⏹

⏺Information about Canon 1 - A

Please provide me with information about the Canon camera (A-1), with a detailed explanation of how the (TV) and (AV) sites work, and what is the function of the numbers corresponding to the film sensitivity numbers, because I own one of them and do not know how to use it.
And Thank you very much

Abboud Abdel-Masih

The camera (1 - Canon A) works according to a programmed system - with preference for choosing the shutter speed automatically, or for choosing the lens aperture.
This naturally means securing the electrical power that the camera feeds through a battery....
We must pay attention to the scarcity of this energy or its cessation, as this means that the machine has stopped working.
Automatic Exposure (AE) means here that you can set a pause in Q, which is appropriate to the subject, provided that the camera depends on the location of the TV (Time Value), i.e. the shutter speed, the exposure, and 87 (Aperture Value) means the possibility of setting the appropriate shutter speed manually, and it will choose Camera pause. F, in this case automatically.

Noting that if you use the TV site and in the case of weak or scarce excitement, you will get low speeds that can only be dealt with with a tripod, and here it is preferable - that is, in the case of scarce lighting - to use the AV site. It means the process of paying double the exposure so that the image comes in full color or vice versa.
1 + means to multiply once.
1 - It means the process of light reduction once. This site is used especially at sunset, side and background lighting, cold places, or snowy scenes, and it is used many times to obtain an effect that falls in the field of prior artistic vision ⏹

⏺More clarification on two things (CP - 5T.P), please provide detailed explanation about your response, which was mentioned in Issue 23 for the Shenon camera (CP - ST.P). Especially for the three situations: for the programmed work of the site (p), and is it meant for automatic work. Does the adoption of one of the modes (P1) and (P2) mean that the disk should be placed on the (P) website? Walid Ali Muhammad, Syria, is a website (P1) or (P2), one of the sites programmed in the Shenon camera (5 - CP), and accordingly it is assumed that it will be used with the (P) website - programmed exposure. (P1) website, as mentioned earlier, is dedicated to the active movements and their freeze. It requires you to adopt a lens slot P/16 or F/22... and this site is often used with sports activities. The site (P2) works to freeze the overall movement in the scene to give high clarity to the field of view, that is, with the use of this site to see and fully clearly see the image, with the observation that when using this site, it is also assumed that the pause/22 or p/16 will be used, as these two systems will work on The aperture is preferred, and the slide is acidified. Is it true that if the images are reprinted for the slides, the colors will become relatively darker than 15-20%, and I also want to learn more about “slide and its acidification, note” I do not have any previous idea about acidification.. I also need information about the equipment needed for that. Were any numbers of acidification previously issued? And how can I get it Sami Rashid Marjan, an architect Abu Dhabi. It is normal when doing any transfers from - positiv, to the negative, the decline is from 10 - 20 percent of the value of the basic edition. As for the acidification of the slides, you must first, my friend, master the black and white acidification, and then move on to the slide. We, in turn, still offer black and white, and then we will present the colored one. At a later stage, the acidification of the slides, and if you want to do the processing process yourself, you can do this by getting Kodak Ektachrome - E - 6- Kit. Within these solutions, you will find sufficient information for the process of preparing the solution and the method of acidification. And you only need a (Tank) = Tank to develop movies. And if you don't want to do the experiment on your own, you have to follow the lessons we give to do step by step together. In the first numbers, we published a lot about black and white operations, if you wish.
