pack. If the film cover doesn't

camera may need repair. See the

when you release
If the camera stops during a cycle
ln rare cases, the camera may
stop in the middle of an operating
cycle. When this happens, you may
not be able to close the camera
fully. Never try to force it shut.
There are Iwo reasons why the
camera may stop. One is jabbing
at the shutter button instead of
holding it until the film comes out.
The remedy is simple-squeeze
the button again and hold it. If the
camera still doesn't complete its
cycle, open the film door in dim
1 ight, pull the pack out about an
inch, push it in again and close
the door. The counter will reset to
10. The camera should complete
its cycle, ejecting the top piece of
film, which will have been exposed.
The other reason is that the battery
in the fi lm pack is weak. Test this by
inserting an empty pack if possible,
ora new one.
If you insert a fresh pack, the film
cover may be partly ejected pre-
venting the door from closing. Re-
move it and close the door. If you
can close the door but the cover is
ejected part way, open the door and
remove the cover by turning the
rollers forward. Never try to force
the cover through the rollers without
first opening the door.
