Quit That loud Music . Did you have to use a loud ass music up and down . Take that out .

[jcotteri]

Good video but that music blows and your music editing is atrocious!

[ducklandwikeno]

Hey ,You Think you can get ride of that Ghetto music from this video .

[LadyVngnz]

Thanks! :)

Instead of turning that white wheel with your finger, turn the film advance lever. That way you won't get that rewind effect.

[haasy2]

I cant figure out how to open the back...

[MyNamesEman]

@haasy2 on the top left of the camera (the knob with the arrow the flips open), pull that knob until the back opens

Thank you for saving me from certain doom in my photo course! I just switched to this camera a few days before a critique from my professor and couldn't manage to get film loaded till this video. THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER.

Also I loved the music. :D

[delonge5000]

FUCK your music.

[panzarw]

I'VE GOT THE POWAH!

[FutureLaugh]

guys if you dont like the music hit mute or go find another video on how to load your Minolta x-700... oh wait there is none.

[hardboiled89]

song is annoying

[4DIZZYGIRL]

I read in the manual that u shouldn't rewind the film but this did help me have the power to my camera thanks... now you should do an unloading the film video cause there is none. nowhere!! Just a thought

[Emoboylovergirl]

i always do it reverse way

[Madds13VU]

this helped! i have a minolta x700 and I've loaded it a few times, but since I'm new at it, I wanted to make sure I had it right..and i do!! yay!!

[TheHolyheadshot]

Does Walmart still develop these kinds of films? Or at least sell them? Because I found 2 old cameras. a Minolta XD-11 and an Olympus OM-10 as well as some cool lenses, zoom lenses and filters.

[italobambino43]

Ah, my X-700, the fourth camera I progressed to after the Kodak Ektramax (#3) and the Vivitar pocket tele (#2). I still have all of them, except the Vivitar, it fell overboard during a school trip to New York, I was on my way to the Statue of Liberty. I loved my original 1975 brown Kodak pocket Instamatic with the flash bar(#1).

[earpie909090]

great song! I love me some BUSCEMI

[Pyrofries]

I have this same camera. I don't think I'm ever getting another manual focus camera, this one is the ultimate.

[hoomaniac1]

you know what's cool? i was searching through my dad's stuff and i saw his really old Minolta XE-1. is this a nice camera? im thinking if i should have this repaired since its really really old. any comments?

[rorrt]

i bought the X-300, and have a 700 on the way.

They shure know how to make a mean camera...

PS do you know where you can get reasonably priced MD lenses?

a company, or URL if you know of a good site

[cabroncochito]

hey man this music is very strong

[ECproductions91]

my advancing lever is jammed, film is loaded correctly, camera's on, but still the lever wont pull forward

[smushieness]

this is a lot of help! i was trying to load a xg7 and i was figuring out how to catch the film and make it stay. the manual is so gosh darn old. thanks!

[MRO062289]

you sound like Jeff Goldblum haha but great how-to! thanks a ton, this is a huge help.

[TeamEdward2010]

WTF I can't get my film to catch

[jordyboy321]

[davidtheguitarman]

are you 90 years old?

[TheDarkLeoplurodon]

lol we watched this on an iphone in a restraunt so when the "IVE GOT THE POWAH" blasted we got a few wierd looks...

[1PAcouchpotato]

Did you need to blair music??? I was using headphone and god did that hurt.

[FutureLaugh]

hahaha sorry mate!

[1PAcouchpotato]

Its fine now, but you could have added a annotation at teh beggining. Oh well.

[Individuell83]

so did I gosh xD I got a shock

[Declethor]

I understand that the B is for the shutter to open as long as the button is pressed, but what is A and P for?

[1PAcouchpotato]

OK. The A stand for auto-program. Set it to that and all you have to do is compose,focus and shoot. Thats what is says in the manuel. I dont know what the P is for I didnt bother to read that.

[gyuhyung]

A stands for Aperture priority mode.

and P stands for auto-program. : )

[1PAcouchpotato]

Yep, I didnt read the manual at that time.

[dragonwars2]

so you know how to take away the s on the minotla x-700 because for some reason my camera lever won't move at all?

[MintySpunkBubble]

Oops, I haven't been doing it that way. Instead of attaching it underneath I slide the film on top in until it's secure then wind it on a few times until I know it's fastened. I've shot off about 6 rolls of film that way which have yet to be developed, including some expensive T-Max black and white film (well, to develop anyway). Should be ok right? I mean there's only one way the film can get exposed in the end. I have the Minolta X-300 model. Sod digital, it has such little character.

Cheers
