In the meantime I was able to get another F90X which does work at a very reasonble price and look forward to trying it out in the near future. However I have had success in taking a cameras top plate off and cleaning the circuit boards located there, so I may well try that. I’m not sure my “change a fuse” level of electronic understanding will help me discover what the problem is with this camera. I was able to locate a service manual for the F90X at the excellent. The only suggestion I found on the web was to make sure to rewind the film when opening the film door, which I did before taking the video. It’s only when the film is placed on the film advance spool it stops working properly? It’s rather strange that when the film cassette is inserted into the camera it works.

The DX coding on the film appears to be read by the camera. Sadly I never got that far, as you will see if you click on image below.Īs you will see the film is advanced randomly out of its cassette without a photo being taken. Not having used Fujicolor Super HG 200 before I was keen to see what it was like. So when it did come to using it, I did my usual tests to check its working condition and it passed. I’ve had this camera for a while but like all good cameras it has had to wait in line.
