I just bought this camera used today, and Im so perplexed as to the shutter speed. Like how does it know what shutter speed to use? And also, what if I want to shoot something a little blurry intentional? Or Im taking a picture of something in motion.
This is a very simple point and shoot from the early 80s. You do not have any control over the aperture to get the background blurry or over the shutter system to freeze something in motion. You have to rely on the internal automatics of this model :D If you want more control, these little gems are not the right tool. Look for a Ricoh 500 G or an Olympus 35 RC. Or step up to an SLR like the Olympus OM-10, Pentax ME or Nikon FG/FG-20.
I have one of these. I haven't used it yet. Will this drain the batteries if the lens cap is missing? There seems to be a button under the lens Barrel that is designed to shut off power to the camera when the lens cap is on.
I do not know the detailed price because I do not sell the product. However, on eBay, it is trading between $50 and $100 depending on the camera condition.
Price can vary wildly on this camera depending on where you get it. I got mine at a Thrift Shop I don't think I paid more than $5 for it. But when the recent Resurgence in film even the most basic point and shoot cameras and getting expensive especially online.
life saver for this thank you I just got this camera today
The Ricoh AF-5 is a convenient and decent camera to use. Make good memories with this camera...
very nice camera but be cautious with the shutter release button that could shoot anytime coz there is no on-off button....
Good example
Thank you for watching my video^^

Does it do black and white or colored pictures ? Thank you
depends on what film you buy. It's takes 35mm film which you can easily find in black and white or color.
The reason I watched this videó is. What kind of film is usable in it? 35mm or..... 120mm......
35mm
