Question: Opening the back of a Nikon film camera!?

I have in my possession a 35mm Nikon FA camera that a friend of mine lent to me!. I have no idea how to open the back to load film in and she doesn't remember how to do it either!. Can somebody tell me how to do it!? Please respond ASAP, I need to do a project due Friday!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lensmen2 is right!.

That is a very nice camera for you friend not to know how to open its back !.!.!. whoosh!.

If you are taking a class, the instructor should have shown you how to load all your cameras and if nothing else, a camera store can show you how to load it and make sure the film is advancing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a lil lever next to the re-wind knob!. Push the lever over and the knob will pull up releasing the door catch!.!.
