Thanks for all the advices. I think getting a new one is the option .

Hey guys. I've got my girlfriend into film photography so far, we had been enjoying taking pics all good it was perfectly working camera, but one day I suddenly dropped bag where the camera was from like 40cm height and since then we have hard time functioning of his camera. The issue is that shutter release button is unresponsive 90% of the time, it just won't take picture and only 1 out of 10 press on it would take a picture. Also sometimes when it does the mirror stuck (only sometimes) and it only release when some time goes or I just have to restart the camera. It's not a battery issue for sure, cause we tried few new batteries and no luck. Also in addition the red display in viewfinder is also messy and shows wrong information and it almost can't be read. Also that display sometimes shows up sometimes not . I am pretty confused and not sure what to do. Please help. Thank you

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=9997432">Charles Rice</a><br> which part exactly do you think needs repairment or someting?</p>

<p>Update for my topic after reviewing results from the third film for this camera. <br> Terrible result!! Some of the pictures are very dark (it was pretty sunlight and light meter in the center always!!), which i don't understand. Also i got one red photo :( i saved all the options so i will try now to give you the results so some of you may know what happened. <p> 1. http://s31.postimg.org/hsph57vhn/r001_001.jpg<br> ISO 400 SHUTTER 60 F STOP 4 (it's on balcony, almost sunset time = not direct sun)<p> 2. http://s31.postimg.org/uhqfhtkxn/r001_003.jpg<br> ISO 400 SHUTTER 60 F 1/8 (photo was taken at home with good house light)<p> 3. http://s31.postimg.org/ek03axmwb/r001_004.jpg<br> F STOP 11 SHUTTER 500 ISO 400 (it's midday, not direct sun overall good lighting condition)<p> 4. http://s31.postimg.org/z7u5bvlaz/r001_005.jpg<br> F stop 16 shutter 1000 ISO 200 (maybe it's ISO problem because it's probably 400 ISO film - same lighting as previous)<p> 5. http://s32.postimg.org/n9p8kgjk5/r001_007.jpg<br> F STOP 11 shutter 500 ISO 400 (good lighting, not direct sun)<p> 6. http://s31.postimg.org/8awdyit97/r001_010.jpg<br> F 3.5 shutter 1000 don't rember ISO + it's taken with 200mm Zoom lens</p> <p>P.S : there was more photos, but laboratory guys told me that was all, so probably others were totally dark or something. On the negative as i see there are many empty spaces on film so that should be those which never came out. So right now i am looking all of this pictures and wondering if i should think this as a camera problem, cause as i said it's totally different film from previous ones. Please help me as much as possible. I appreciate ur effort. <3</p> <p> </p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=2386329">Doug Armstrong</a><br> Thank you so much for detailed explanation, there are so many reasons i see, and now i am only hoping it was not a camera problem. For this moment as i say i am trying different Film and writing down the options i use for every single shot, i need about 2-3 days to see the result. If problem will still the same, after that i think it's time to think about this as a camera problem. Because functionally i try everything, i take shot with different options for same things to be sure that it's not me who make silly mistakes on shooting process. </p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=423911">James Dainis</a></p> <p>Yes exactly!! Some of the pictures on the same roll was just fine, some were red, but most of them were red!! it was not exactly like first 3 was red other 3 good it was really mixed and sometimes yes 2 was red another 2 was good.</p>

<p>Yes some pictures were okay. Like this one https://s32.postimg.org/jv9cahsqd/AA020.jpg</p> <p>Well then i try another roll of film different from this one and will see what the result will be. :P</p>

<p>+ one more detail = automatic timer button is broken so is there a way this can cause any additional light inside camera?</p>

<p>Update : i tried another roll of film (same kodak gold 200 ) and i received worse effect, all red and this time ISO was correctly set, now i am wondering if light meter is working correctly, will test it out and this time i will try same roll and will be more focused on each shoot with it's settings. Can it be a camera problem? </p>

<p>Thanks for all the answers. I was not involved in scanning process and not any process in dark room i handle it all to specialist in local film laboratory and when he saw those red pictures he almost laughed and said that it was my fault. I used Nikon GOLD 200 (not slide film) , which is not expired yet! Also i remember that the iso was different that 200 on the pictures at the beginning, but when i read that changing ISO is not good ( i am talking about the situation when film iso is 200 and u change to 100 and you have no idea if it's possible for that film) , then i changed it to 200 but i see some of the latest photos was also red. they used automatic scanner and some of the pictures were normal in color . I am uploading normal example. </p> <p> </p>

<p>Hey, today i was in local laboratory which produced my first negatives of my just bought olympus om-1, but now i am little confused, i got pictures wit too much red on them?? can you tell what can be the problem behind this? i was trying to shoot when my light meter was in the middle.</p> <p>Here is one example</p> <p><img src="https://s32.postimg.org/l8ut2zmud/AA018.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=5994753">BeBu Lamar</a> can you explain it further? </p>

<p><a href="/photodb/user?user_id=8221446">JayDann Walker</a> <br> <br> Thanks for suggesting that one as well. I will do my research and will probably decide which camera to buy between Nikon Fm, Pentax k1000 and Nikkormat (FT2 or EL). </p>

<p><strong>David </strong>thanks for your advice, it makes me think to get DSLR faster. </p>

David, my came is only automatic camera which have few options for flash and some landscape option, it's all automatic otherwise. Uses battery. P.S : I forgot to mention that i process all of my films to local film laboratory and costs me around 4$ to scan pictures and then turn them to digital pics ( prices depends how much pictures i have), scanning alone costs only 1.2$, we have different currency so it's very hard to calculate. It's still is not very cheap, but i can afford somehow.

Oh guys i am hooked with all of your answers, really didn't expected so much good advices for this thing. It is really honor for me to get all of your thoughts and piece of experience. Matthew Currie, after your and others advice my sympathy went to Nikon F series, but i am seeing that Spencer Lange has given me some ideas about cheap and same quality camera as Pentax k-1000, so now i am really messed it up. Jochen Schrey, you are just amazing ! thanks for giving me lots of perspective from where to start, well i am now going to buy both DSLR and Film SLR as well, that's because i really love the process of taking picture and not knowing what to expect before it's processed in some kind of Lab, it's very special feeling also it might not sound professional at all. Also from your post some of the things were unclear for me because i am not really good at lenses and that kind of things yet. So i believe i should start with something to be good enough to understand camera and after that i can really choose the one i want. Right now i really don't have an idea which DSLR will be good for me because i am really newbie with those different cameras and additional lenses. I just understand it really simply but not in depth. Sorry my english might suck, but that's all i got. The only thing i want to do (i think everyone wants that) is to make some kind of beautiful art and i understand DSLR is cheaper to practice and immediate feedback is also big thing for sure. Now i will just read all of your kind advices once again to understand more clearly what i am facing. Thank you so much again and i will do my best to know about important details for photography basics as soon as i can. :X

<p>Yeah <strong>David </strong>i read about Nikon FM2 and there was told that modern lenses also go for those models, i don't know if i am saying it in a correct way. Also i prefer to pay good price for camera if it will guid me trough beginner days and after that will be a good camera for a bit serious shoots. If you have idea about that kind of one please let me know. </p> <p>P.S : THANKS FOR THE REPLY<3</p>

<p>Hi, i am new in photography, had been taking photos with my phone from the beginning, but after that i had my dad's pretty normal NIKON ZOOM 310 in my hand and i am shooting with this one. But the problem is that it's fully automatic and i think it's not good for learning at all. I need some very manual camera and for this time i am really keen on Film photography so for a while i am not thinking about DSLR camera. <br> Before i posted here i had made a good research on internet and found Nikon FM2, Cannon AE-1, Pentax k1000, <strong>YASHICA FX-3 really interesting. But from this list for me Pentax and Yashica is really good. But before i buy any of those i really need some more camera advices to buy the one which will be really cool for me i think there could be more cameras that i had not reviewed. Any advice would be awesome <3</strong></p>
