How do i set camera to super fine

This is a known fault with this retro model, I'm afraid - over time, the plastic gears get worn, and eventually fail. Solutions are mentioned on the Pentax Forums.

i am an train picture guy but neverthe less u cant take anything for granted put cam on "P" and see whad happens and check your manual

Please set the quality to SUPER FINE on your camera
This will solve your problem

It also better to clean the lens softly using a soft cloth

Thanx and i hope this helps

Try going into the cameras menu setting and see if you can change the picture quality settings to the best setting! (the more mega pixals the better the picture when you blow it up or crop it!
If you cant figure out the menu come back and see us we will be glad to help!
Please rate my response to your question!
Thank You!

Hi Pete,

Say you're using ASA/ISO 100 film:
Photos come out overexposed and you were shooting in A or S or P modes.
Just set your ASA/ISO to 200: this will gives one stop less and images will be correct.

Informatica

The "magic needles" while making the camera easy to load are about as intuitive as a dead skunk, I had a similar confusion when I got an ME Super. Put the film can in the left side of the camera back (the side with the little thing sticking out is the bottom, it looks upside down this way, but that is correct). Next push the film winder down, this will semi-lock the can into place. Now pull the film-lead across the camera and push it down between some of the white "magic needles on the opposite spool(push it in a bit so that it will stay). Next advance the lever; release the shutter. If the spool starts to turn you are doing it right. Now close the door and continue advancing and clicking until the little frame number window on top reads 1.

I think you need to Reset the camera. On the menu select reset.

Pick up an old Polaroid camera that took 100-series film. The back will contain the film rollers, which are pretty much swappable. Something like a Polaroid Super Swinger III should be cheap and easy to find on ebay.

Your camera is cocked but since the shutter is not working you cannot release it and hence your film advance mechanism does not work. ME-super will work without batteries in full manual mode so set your shutter to B and try to release it. If the shutter will not release in B mode then the shutter/mirror box will need servicing : rubber components in the mirror box mechanism have perished and need replacing. After that your camera will be fine for another couple of years.
