Question: How do I take film out of my 35 mm camera!?

I have a Canon AE-1 35 mm camera and i have some film i would like to get developed, but I have no idea how to take the used film out of the camera!. I know there's something to do with winding it, but I'm not positive about the whole process!. Please help, thanks =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Looking on the bottom of your camera, you will be seeing a shiny little button that is about 4mm around!. Push that button in until it is make a clicking sound!. There is a wheel on top of your camera that has a secret hidden winding lever that you must be pulling into the outward position!. When the lever is out so that it is looking like a tiny little crank and the button is pushed in so that it is make the little click sound, you are ready to be winding your film back into the film can!. Are you doing what I am telling you!? It should be working for you now!.

When your film is always into the can, you will be feeling a different amount of tugging on the crank so you will be knowing that you are done!.

I am so saddened that some people are feeling the necessity to make rudest remarks about a camera that is so old you are no longer holding the manual in your possession!. Please to forgive them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a button on the bottom of the camera you have to push to called the film release button!. Push it and then you will be able to rewind the film back into the canister!. You may have to hold the button down to make sure it is rewinding properly otherwise you will tear the film!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
