    HELP! I’m new at this and opened the back of my camera outdoors before rewinding the film. It was during the day but I was standing in the shade. Does that mean the ENTIRE film got ruined? 🙁

    I’m worried about whether my film caught and was in fact taking photos. I do not remember feeding the leader into the slot on the right hand side! The counter was increasing in numbers as I putted the film advance and pressed the shutter…is that a sign that the film was definitely secured on the right of the camera and was successfully pulling the film form the camera. Please help!!

    they’re not gone, buddy–if you take the camera into the camera shop they can get the film out in a darkroom/box

    OMG, THANK YOU!!!
    I’m taking a photography class and this is the exact camera model we’re using, and I always hate the part where we have to load the film because for some reason I can never do it right!
    But this was definetely very useful 🙂

    This is a total life savor. I felt embarrassed every time I would ask my teacher to help me put the film in. In on my third month in college and should already know this stuff. I’m glad I don’t have to ask my teacher anymore lol. This vid is really helpful 🙂
