What a great non-verbal instruction. Id watch it just for the music. Thanks
Having had auto exposure minolta cameras since the late 70s, I found my recent purchase of a SRT 200 an enjoyable exercise in rediscovering film photography. The basics of the SRT200 are straight forward, it was the battery and battery check I had litte knowledge of. I'm using the 675 hearing aid battery with a small plastic sleeve in the battery compartment. It's 1.45 volts instead of 1.35 volts. Haven't developed any film yet to see how accurate the meter is.
Just got one from a film shop near me for free. The owner owed me a few bucks and just gave me what sat on his shelf and said it'd be better off being used. Can't wait to try it out
Amazing video. Very detailed regarding the camera's features. I just purchased this model at goodwill. Man, I am lucky.
Hello Matthew,
Thank you for your comments!
That is a great camera good luck with your pics!
Me too.. $3 dollars
I bought a mint srt303 for $90
I purchased this camera when I was 14 or 15. Bought it on layaway at Tootons. $165 maybe? I was making $2.15/hr. 1982?
Anyhow, loved it. Was stolen in '90.
Life was never the same...
Hello Darryl,
Thank you for sharing this story with the community, it makes us think about the effort we must make to enjoy our passion for photography.
It is a shame to know that your equipment was stolen, but surely you will keep in your memory and in photos good memories of those times.
So just to clarify... Does the camera even need to be switched to on if you don't use the light meter when you shoot?
No, The battery is just for the meter.
Thanks for this! I just got my dads 201 and this helped a lot. The only issue is that the depth button doesn't show the blades opening or closing at all. It feels like it's not fully compressing into the body at all D:
I have the same issue
My favorite SRT!
Hello ghw7192,
A great camera!
Thanks for your comments!
Fiddling with the shutter speed after loading the film is confusing
Bonjour, au moment de charger mon film, le compteur de pose reste entre 20 et 25? Que dois-je faire pour le ramener su depart?
Merci je suis débutant
Very helpful video! Thank you!
so what if you accidently push the rewind button, but you don't crank it back? is the film still good to use?
(1.5V) LR or SR 44 cell work?
Hi does this mean this camera is only manual and not semi auto?
Hi Herdiana,
It is correct, it can only be used in manual mode.
The switch on my battery check fell off at some point, so there's no way for me to move between BC, off, and on. Any ideas on how to get around this?
This was extremely helpful thank you so much
I have a SRT 101 does it work the same and um I can't see out of the hole to take pictures sooo…what do I do????
Hello Teresa,
I invite you to watch the video I have for the Minolta SRT 101 to learn more about how it works.

My minolta has a wokring battery (i did the battery check, the needle moves to the center and looks good) however, when i switch it to on, the needle does not move, and is stuck at the top. what does this mean/ how do i fix this?
Should I meter when the depth of field preview is on or off.?
Hi Emptyelephants,
When the depth of field preview is off.
Hi I just bought an old srt303 and I don't see anything in the viewfinder. Is the camera defective? Or do I need to insert a battery first.
Never mind it was the mirror lock button. I had to switch it on. It was on lock.
mine has a different battery chamber door i can’t open it with a coin, what do i do?
Mind doesn't either but it has a rough surface and you can twist it with your thumb
amazing!!!
What does the B.C. mean?
Hello Shouko,
Means battery check.
@@photographyandmore oh so does that mean i should check the battery or? when i got the camera it was switched on B.C. i turned it to on but the line didnt move i guess the battery is dead?
@@incredevey571 It is very likely that the battery is already exhausted.
You can see in this part of the video 0:52 how the battery check works.
the manuel said to load it 4-5 sprocket holes and you just did 1
Hello Sabio,
Sorry! Sometimes I get excited and I forget to follow the instructions, of course you are right in making this observation, it will always be better to ensure that the film was loaded correctly.
@@photographyandmore No sweat! Good tutorial btw!
Do you know any good camera technicians? I just bought one of these but need it checked out.
Good video but man I wish there’s was someone speaking
