My N65 film won't rewind! VERY IMPORTANT pictures to develop.

[jessica_mcdonald]

I have a Nikon N65 and can't seem to get my film to rewind. Is there

a manual rewind somewhere on the camera? I am a beginner and don't

know all of the camera "lingo" yet, so walk me through it if you can.

The film is very important. Thanks so much!!!!

Jessica,

 

<p>Are your batteries dead? Are you getting an "err" on the LCD? If swaping out the batteries doesn't do it, take the whole body to a pro film lab and have them remove the film from the body and process it. There is no manual crank on the N65.

 

<p>Regards,

As I understand it the film will rewind when you have shot the last ftame.

 

There should also be a rewind button (or two buttons used together) to rewind the film prematurely. Read the manual - it is there for you.

If all else fails take take your camera t oa professional lab or professional camera store and have them unload your camera in a darkroom or possibly a darkbox.

Read the manual... If you've lost it or can't find it:

<p>

The film will rewind automagically when you reach the end of the roll. The frame number will count down from your last exposure (12, 24, 36, etc) down to "E" for empty. If your LCD shows a number, you've still got film left to shoot. If it shows "E", could it be possible the film rewound and you didn't know it? Maybe you could take it into an absolutely light-tight room and open the back to check. If there's an "Err", there's something else going on - take it somewhere that a lab tech can stick it in a changing bag or something to see what's up. And, as always, it could be that your batteries are dead and just need changing.

<p>

Otherwise, if you're mid-roll and NEED to rewind NOW, you can hit the "BKT" button next to the command dial and the "+/-" to the right of the LCD simultaneously to start a midroll rewind (note that you'll lose any unused frames). Both buttons have a small red 'film' icon above them noting this feature.

I've got an N80, not sure the similiarities by on mine you can turn off automatic film rewind through a custom setting... perhaps that should be checked? If you take it to a camera store they should be able to check it out, hopefully for free.
