Some more from the Nikon Zoom 500AF

Some more samples from the Nikon Zoom 500 AF. The camera is not very big for a zoom film camera. It is fully automatic with small apertures so needs good light.

 

 There are some opptions for the flash (Auto, anti-red eye, forced on and off) a self timer and a landscape setting.

 I used a cheap film that expired in 2004

Nikon Zoom 500AF

Here are some more photos from the compact Nikon Zoom 500Af

 

The camera is relatively small, with a zoom range from 38 to 105mm
Aperture are rather small, so the camera needs good light. I got some shaken photos as there is no low light warning. There is no focus lock either. The main subject must be around the center of the frame.

  The lens door was not opening fully

 

 

Nikon Zoom 500Af, simple compact zoom camera

I found a Nikon Zoom 500 Af camera. It is a compact point'n'shoot with a 38-105mm lens. Aperture seems to be rather small around f5.6 (wide) to 9(tele)

There is an LCD display to change some settings like flash options, self timer and infinity setting.
The autofocus works only in the center of the frame and can not be memorized by half clicking the shutter. I also did not find a low light warning. There is a red led that lights up when a picture is focus and can be recorded.

I used an old 100 ASA film that expired in 2005. The negatives were very weak and needed some extra PP.
At wide aperture images look softer, at smaller apertures, in good light, images are sharper.

 I used the Tele end here

 Some candids
