Samsung Film In A Samsung Camera

I had this brilliant idea to shoot some old Samsung Prime Color 400 film in one of my Samsung point and shoot 35mm film cameras. The only problem I could foresee having was that said film was long-expired and you can't adjust the film speed setting on the camera to compensate for this. It can only sense the film speed by reading the DX code on the film cannister and setting the camera's sensor for only that speed. But, I found out that you can "fool" the camera into thinking the film is whatever speed you want to shoot it at by changing the DX code on the film cartridge. So, that's what I did. I made the camera think it was shooting 50 ISO speed film instead of the 400 film it actually was. The expirement was a success and here are a few shots from that roll:

 

Here's when the pictures were taken:

 

Camera:  Samsung Maxima Zoom 105 Ti
Lens:  Samsung SHD Zoom Lens 38-105mm
Film: Samsung Prime Color 400 (expired 05/2013, shot @50 ISO)
Date:  October 31st, 2020
Location:  Norris City, Illinois, U.S.A.

 

And then I developed the film and here's that process:

Developing Chemicals:  Unicolor C-41
Water pre-soak:  1 minute at 102 degrees
Developer:  3 mins. and 30 secs. at 102 degrees
Water rinse:  2 minutes (to keep chemicals clean)
Blix:  6 ½ minutes at 102 degrees
Water rinse:  2 minutes at approx. 102 degrees
Stabilizer:  1 minute at room temperature
Water rinse:  2 minutes
Kodak Photo-Flo 200:  1 minute

Fifteenth Annual Ten Commandments Post

 

 Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments will be back in the theaters for it's 65th anniversary.  It will be showing on Sunday, March 28th, Wednesday, March 31st and Sunday, April 4, 2021.  I remember seeing it in the theaters for it's 10th anniversary re-release, back in 1966.  And of course it became my favorite movie of all time.  I will again be watching it here at home on Easter Sunday night, like I always do.  And I'm looking forward to it once again for yet another year.

My family watched it every Easter when it was broadcast on ABC television and we always had ham for that holiday.  I am keeping that tradition alive and will have ham again while I watch the movie.  It's an exciting time for me because I've done it for so many years.  So, grab yourself some pork and be sure to watch it, too!

Here is a multiple-exposure picture I took of the television screen when I watched it back on Sunday, April 6th, 1980:
