Of course they're not manipulating pixels, because pixels don't exist on film....the microprocessor(s) are controlling only the duration of the exposure and the aperture.
The processors aren't doing anything to the latent film image at any lower granularity - certainly not at the equivalent level of a pixel.
RTFMThe F5 and F6 have the appearance and handling of a digital camera, but they are film cameras - there is no digital (algorithmic) manipulation or interpretation of individual image elements.
Suggesting that today's micro control systems are the same as those of 40 years ago indicates you have absolutely no clue what the micro does nor how it's used in a modern camera.
The algorithms and sensors in common use today had not been invented 40 years ago, nor had processors with sufficient power to implement them.

No problem. I also appreciate gold contacts in electronic circuits.
Most of us will disagree. One camera, one lens, one film, one developer, one stop bath, one fixer, a good book and a friend. One step at a time. The C330 may be too much camera to start from. Find a simpler camera in the beginning.
Was it a "Porrofinder" or the prism finder?even with a Porroflex prism
Of course they're not manipulating pixels, because pixels don't exist on film.
But they are adjusting the exposure based on what they think is significant.
the F6 is not a film camera.
It's a digital camera with a film transport in place of the LCD display.
If a microprocessor adjusts the exposure of that image, it's a digital camera.If a camera records an image on film, it's a film camera.
If a microprocessor adjusts the exposure of that image, it's a digital camera.

Unfortunately, that's true.I do understand your point. However, people are going to use 'digital' to refer to cameras with an electronic sensor to record the image and 'analog' to refer to cameras that use film to record the image.
Was it a "Porrofinder" or the prism finder?
The Porrofinder uses a mirror rather than a prism, is larger and relatively light and gives a latterly (left-right) reversed image.
The prism finder is smaller, quite heavy, and gives a latterly correct image.
There ae two types of shooters... those who understand how cameras work and those who don't.There are 2 types of cameras, film and digital.

Obviously you are one of the later.If I use a electronic pocket calculator to formulate the exposure I'm sure you would say that its digital,if I use my fingers to adjust a Nikon F does that make it digital? lets face it you got a burr under your saddle about electronic camera controls, that is your problem.There ae two types of shooters... those who understand how cameras work and those who don't.

Pehaps you meant "one of the latter".Obviously you are one of the later.
And some people ignore definitions, because it makes proving their point easier.Some people just make up definitions. It makes "proving" your point easier.
