How do I unload the film? - Nikon FM10 35mm SLR Camera

You can download the manual from
http://butkus.org/chinon/minolta/minolta_x-700/minolta_x-700.htm

There are illustrated instructions for loading/unloading film beginning on page 17.

Slide the camera back lock release down, open the back, and pull out the film cartridge. Full instructions are in the manual. "LOADING FILM" is on page 16, "REWINDING FILM" is on page 24, and page 25 shows how to remove the film.

I have had the same problem with unloading film, i had to take the whole camera in to the shop to have them open it in a darkroom and develop the film. Seems will have to do that from now on but at least got film back.

The cartridge will only go in one way. install and pull film to marked line (should have a few notches in the film strip past gear) close camera and either wind until it stops or if batt powered it will load itself then ready to roll

anniehongx,

open the film door and charge the shutter. are the drive and take up sprockets turning? if they are then the film was not loaded properly. be sure to push enough film leader into the take up spool bars.
if the spools are not turning then a gear or spring ( advance lever return lock ) is broken.
there are no new parts for the ME Super however some camera repair shops have good used parts that can be used. get an estimate first.

sounds like the door latch broke. (tape) Canon will only replace/upgrade not repair.
ours cracked after a drop then broke replacing the film.

Unless you are sure it is broken, it may not need repair. Have you looked in the manual ? Should repair be necessary, the price will probably be more than the cost of a more up-to-date replacement

If i remember correctly there should be a button on the bottom of the camera opposite side of the film winder if you press that button it will release the tension on the film and allow you to reel the film back into the film canistor.BE CAREFUL when reeling it back in because you can reel the whole roll back into the film canistor, when you think your getting towards the end go SLOW you will feal the reel loosen up alot.that means that the film has let go of the other side STOP and you can open the case without exposong your film.GOOD LUCK if this helps rate me or leave some more info.Thanks.

Did you mean you wanted to unload the unfinished film?
What you did then? be more clear and specific about the procedures before I can give you suggestions.
