yes! The Ubuntu Memory Maker is a reusable film camera, just swap out your used roll of film once it’s finished for a fresh one and start from scratch ;)

Yes! You will need 1x brand new AA battery to power the flash on your camera.

Once you have used up the film in your camera, you will have to go to your nearest film processing lab to get your photos developed. Your local processing lab can develop your photos as physical prints or digital scans, which will be emailed directly to your phone. Processing times will vary from lab to lab, but should take approximately 7-14 days to be fully developed. 

There are a number of film processing labs in South Africa that accept film via mail or drop off. You can easily find these labs by searching “Film processing near me” on google. If you are having any troubles finding a lab to process your film, please reach out to us at ubuntufilmco@gmail.com so that we can recommend labs in your local area. :)

Yes! The Ubuntu Memory Maker reusable camera is compatible with any brand of 35mm film. Either 24 or 36 exposure film can be used in the camera - that just tells you how many photos there are per roll of film.

We recommend always using the flash when taking photos - unless you are shooting in direct sunlight. We recommend changing the flash battery every 7-8 weeks, but leaving the flash on for extended periods of time will drain the battery life quicker - in which case you load a new battery and you’re good to go.

If your flash isn’t turning on then it’s likely that the battery powering the flash has died. We recommend changing the battery every 7-8 weeks, however, leaving the flash “on” for extended periods of time can drain the battery life quicker - no need to panic though - just load a new AAA battery into your camera and you can go straight back to taking stunning pictures!

Depending on the brand of film you buy, you can get either 24 or 36 photos per roll of film.

Always travel with your memory maker in your hand luggage - the X-ray machines at customs used to inspect hand luggage use low levels of radiation that won’t cause visible damage to your film or your photos.
