I recently was given a Minolta Maxxum 7000 and am trying to learn to use it. I have been using the automated shutter settings, but adjusting the aperture for Depth of Field stuff. Well out of 2 rolls of film I've taken, one was completely blank, and the other had 8 pictures out of 24, with the other 16 completely blank.
I assume this is an issue of over exposure, since the negatives look clear (with two exceptions that look black which i assume were underexposed). I have READ alot about photography, but have had maybe 100 pictures of real experience with a SLR.
The 8 pictures that came out fine I assume are because I left the default camera settings for aperture and shutter speed.
If im making the aperture larger, should I be setting the camera to -.5 or -1 adjustment when using a larger aperture in order to adjust for the ammount of light (as opposed to allowing the camera's chip to do so)?
These may be basic questions, or I may have answered them myself, but I'd appreciate any input you guys could give.
Thanks,
RickyG
