yes it does matter what film is used, Film have different ISO ratings, ISO is the rating of how sensitive it is to light the higher the number the more sensitive the film is. most common is 400 ISO film for Indoor and Outdoor, 1600 ISO is for faster shutter speeds which is great for Action and fast moving Objects/ Subjects.
Taking the above into account, you also need the correct format. 35mm, 120, and the older 110, 126, 127 disc, etc.
While 35mm and 120 can still be obtained quite easily, most of the others are out of production now. A nasty one is Kodak instant film, after Polaroid sued Kodak for copyright infringement, all cameras and film stock had to be destroyed.
You might find a Kodak instant camera, but you'll never get film for it.
well you can use black and white film and develop them using a regular camera. basically just load your camera with black and white film if it is that kind of camera.
You would have to use a Minolta SLR digital camera with a Minolta lens. However, don't automatically assume an old Minolta lens will work on a digital camera. You need to determine whether the digital camera accepts interchangeable lenses and whether it accepts the specific Minolta SLR lens and mount you have. There is no real generic answer to this question.
To use exposures, it is best to know what they are. Exposures are combinations of film speed, shutter speed, and aperture. To use them best, a photographer should use the results (via the camera's light meter) to see if the combinations will create the desired light in camera's sensor (digital) or film.
Yes, there are disposable, one-time use digital cameras, however I doubt they are very popular since they tend to be expensive ($20 per camera) and you can get a reusable digital camera for around $50.
Until about ten years ago cameras used film -- clear plastic with a coating that is sensitive to light. The camera exposed light from the scene onto the film which was later removed from the camera and put in chemicals to cause the images to appear. This chemical process is called developing the film. Some professional photographers, serious amateurs, and people who have not yet bought a digital camera still use film cameras. I assume these film cameras are what you are calling 'normal.' Digital cameras create images by light from the scene onto electronic sensors which convert the light falling on them to signals that can be recorded in digital files the way computer data is recorded. These files can then be transferred to computers to be printed.
Film cameras
For a Canon digital camera, a 50mm camera lens is just about right. You can also use other lenses depending on what kind of digital camera you are using.
a digital camra uses a memory card.
The best feature of the digital camera is that you can view images instantly. They are also easier to use and you have more of a control over the film camera.
It's how sensitive the film is to the light. Which is measured in ISO. If you use a film camera. The film box should say what ISO it is. If you have a digital camera, you can adjust it in certain modes in the menu. For more details you can check out http://www.geofflawrence.com/photography_tutorial_ISO_film_speed.htm
It Depends what Kind Of Camera You Have
An actual camcorder or video camera should be used instead of a digital camera or web camera. Record a test video first and check to see if the resolution and contrast is appropriate to reveal the subtleties of the makeup.
Its just a digital camera they are easier to use, and they do not use film, they use a memory card instead. You wont have to buy film.
The Sony HVL-HL1 can be used with any Sony digital camera, not film.
what kind of battery does it use
Digital electronics in cameras have made film nearly obsolete. It is higher quality and has a lower chance of error.
It isn't broken, but it isn't a digital camera. It captures images on photographic film. Go left on Sunrise Street to the Wax Museum. Use the camera in front of the man with the gray hair, and he will give you some film. Use it to load the camera.
