    Kyocera/Yashica Samurai x3.0 Film Camera Review

    Thanks for the article, had one delivered yesterday.

    You can set the date to 2024.

    Just tell the camera it is one minute before midnight on 31st December 2019 and wait until it ticks over past that minute. The 2020s then become available and you can set the correct date.

    Thanks so much for this, Andrew! I wonder what kind of engineering at Kyocera made this hack possible (and if it works on other cameras).

    Oh wow — thank you so much Andrew! I was so disappointed I couldn’t set the date on this camera. I love everything about it and now that I can bi-pass that I’m even more thrilled about it. Just ordered the Z to compliment the x3.0
