Question

Can I convert my K1000 to digital?

Community Answer

When you take your film to be developed at a large company (Walgreens, Walmart, etc.) they send it away. You will get back physical photos and your pictures will be copied onto a CD, giving you a digital copy.

Question

Can I remove the lens while the film is in the camera?

Community Answer

Yes, the mirror inside the camera is down normally and that will block light from hitting the film. The mirror flips up during the exposure when you press the release button and take the picture. Lenses can be switched while film is loaded with no problem.

Question

What settings do I use to capture fast moving objects clearly?

Community Answer

You generally want a high shutter speed (like 1/1000 or 1/500) with a wide aperture. Doing this should stop motion blur for most things.

Anything that can go through the lens. If you're talking about IR, UV and visible light, that depends on the type of film that you get.
