Look at what video cam I found;)

Looking through my parents cabinet, I found a very old video cam! The sharp viewcam hi fi monaural vl e71. I found out that it is only $50 australian dollars., but it doesn’t really matter as this is a great opportunity to get into some old school cameras! This uses 8mm film apparently, I’m not so good with film, I switched it on and it has very close focusing. And very quick focusing too. Apparently you can take pictures with this, can someone help me on how to take a picture with this(I’m not so good with old cams).

It uses tape not film.

We'd normally call that tape, or video tape - it's not 'film' it's an 8 mm video cassette tape. That's an analogue video camera. Here is a link to the manual. I can't see anything about taking stills. Not many analogue video cameras took stills.

As I said, I’m bad with old cameras. ANd thx for the link, this will really help

We used to rely on cassettes for quite a while. I have an old Canon video camera that uses them. It's pretty bulky compared to this though.
