Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The Mamiya 7 is a 6x7 medium format rangefinder camera that uses 120 or 220 film, providing 10 exposures per roll.0:59 The system features an off-center viewfinder, which requires manual focus and compensation for parallax error.1:07 When shooting distant subjects with the 80mm lens, the user must adjust the composition slightly up and to the left to account for the viewfinder offset.5:53 The camera’s shutter speed ranges from four seconds to 1/500th of a second, and the 80mm lens offers apertures from f/4 to f/22.1:20 Because the camera lacks a built-in neutral density filter, shooting in bright conditions at f/22 may still result in overexposed images if the light exceeds the 1/500th shutter limit.8:20 Loading the film requires precise alignment of the plus and minus signs on the spool.2:54 The rangefinder mechanism provides a quieter shutter release than traditional SLR cameras.6:55 Using a medium format rangefinder forces a slower, more intentional approach to composition compared to digital photography.8:49
