Normally you won’t see the film if you just turn in the camera to your developer however, if you take the film out of the camera yourself this is what you’ll see. The additive type shot counter is dead center, and the oval gray button on the right actuates the shutter. The red flash ready light is on top and to the left of the viewfinder. The sticker on the back of the camera shows you how to use it. Packaging includes a cardboard sleeve that fits over the camera, which goes inside the sealed wrapper. Viewfinder: bright and easy to see through.Ĭost between $10 and $12 for singles, and less if you buy them in multi packs.Įnough of the intro, let’s check out some product shots of the Kodak FunSaver Single Use Camera. I take these out before putting the camera in the recycle bin because they still have a lot of use left in them this one still had 1.6 volts on the test meter (fully charged)after about a dozen flashes. This battery will last a lot longer than the camera, even if you use the flash on all 27 pictures. You press the flash button on the front until the red light on top of the camera comes on, then take your shot.īatteries: one Chinese SafeEnergy Alkaline AA battery installed. Color and contrast are actually quite good considering how tiny and cheap the lens is.įlash: 4′ to 11.5′ (1.2m to 3.5m). Lens and focal length: approximately 31mm, plastic single meniscus type projecting an image onto curved film-via a curved film gate. Shutter speed: my test device measured the shutter speed at about 1/90s.Īperture: I’m guessing the aperture is near F/9.5-10 as it is on other similar cameras. You can get 27 images on any roll of 24 as long as you can load the camera yourself in the dark and do not have to advance it to the first shot mark however, with motorized auto loading cameras, you probably won’t get any more than 25. These little cameras are popular at weddings where the guests are encouraged to pick them up and start shooting, especially after the liquor starts to flow, then turn them in to the hosts before going home so the newlywed couple can get them developed and have some laughs later on.įilm type and exposures: I think Kodak uses 24 exposure 800 ‘max’ type, which is no longer available as a stand alone film, however, when loading in a darkroom as they do when making the camera yields 27 images. If you want to use the flash, just push the button on the front of the camera until the red dot on the top turns red, which means the flash is ready. The film is already loaded, all you do is advance the film via thumb wheel until it won’t turn anymore, then simple look through the viewfinder and take a snap. This model comes with a flash, and apparently replaced the Kodak HD Power Flash model a few years ago, so I’m updating Kodak’s primary single use camera. Like nearly all single use cameras, it has a very simple plastic lens, manual film advance, and 27 exposures. The Kodak FunSaver, B&H, Amazon, eBay, is a ‘single use,’ ‘throw-away’ or ‘disposable’ camera, whichever term you prefer. Note on this review: it reads very similar to the HD power flash because I used that review for much of the text as the cameras are nearly the same.
