What skills do beginners of film photography have?

There are many kinds of film machines, both fully automatic and fully automatic, but fully automatic is not fun. What's interesting is the pure manual film machine, that is, the kind of manual focusing and manual film winding, but this kind of camera is generally equipped with an exposure meter (it is estimated that some machines are not accurate in metering after a long time).

There are too many things to do, play with a film camera. The ISO value of the camera is consistent with the ISO value of the film. Besides metering, focusing is more difficult. Generally, film cameras are equipped with large-area ground glass focusing screens such as central image splitting and peripheral prism rings. The highest focusing accuracy is the central image focusing, but the slowest speed needs to be carefully adjusted. The fastest is ground glass with poor precision, and the D prism ring is in the middle.

Film cameras usually focus first and then view, that is, focus successfully with the central split image and then re-compose. When composing music, don't move back and forth (otherwise you will focus in vain). You can rotate the camera up and down from the origin to the left and right.

These are the main skills of film cameras, and the rest are basically the same as the current digital SLR.
