Hi! About two or three years ago, my dad gave me his old Canon Sure Shot Autofocus 38mm film camera. I got the right film for it, and my brother tried to put the film in, and it took him a couple tries to figure how to load the film(resulting in a wasted two rolls of film,lol). Well, it worked fine for about ten pictures, and then it wouldn't take anymore pictures. I was 12 at the time, and so I started messing around with it, and the batteries weren't dead, and I opened the back of the camera to see if something was up with the film, but I didn't see anything wrong(but I think I exposed the rest of the film!). So I finally put it away, and I was cleaning out my junk drawer and found it again. I put some new batteries in it to see if what I think is the "on" light would come on, and it didn't. Sooo,long story short, could you maybe walk me through on what to do to find out what is wrong with this camera? Thank you so much!

It sounds like your camera is having problems advancing your film, which could mean it is jammed inside the camera. The other thing you should check is to see if the battery is weak & doesn't have enough power to advance the film (and thus the beeping). If it is not the battery, then go in a darkroom (completely dark) and take out the film (if you're unable to rewind it inside the camera). Look at the transport rollers (in the back for the camera) and make sure they're clean (sometimes film chips get jammed in there) Let me know if this helps you. Thanks.

Camera will not fire with dead battery so you will not be able to advance film to #1.......ck out www.flcamerarepair.com for help

Took out the battery, then put it back in. The film then loaded properly.

Not necessarily. The EM has an M90 setting which will fire the shutter at 1/90th of a second. The meter is inactive on this setting. It was put on the EM so that if the batteries fail, you can shoot at 1/90th and take a guess at the exposure. There is also a small button (blue or chrome, depending on the production run) which lights up a red LED if the batteries are good. The light meter doesn't work until the frame counter is at 1 or higher. Before the #1, the shutter will always fire at 1/2000th of a second to speed up the film loading process. You can tell that the meter is working by observing the meter's scale/needle on the inside of the viewfinder. If it is pointing out of the red zone, it's OK to shoot (proper exposure). If the needle is in the red zone (indicating under or over exposure) the camera will "beep" as an audible warning. Check the battery condition first.
