Nikon n75 problem loading film

I have (had) the same problem. I came onto this site to find out what I can do to fix it. It didn't help. I got pissed and almost threw the camera away. So I decided to get a little rough with the camera, (i normally wouldn't do this but i was going to throw it away).

I loaded the film like normal but before I closed the back I manually wound the film around the opposite spool. I guess I fooled the camera into thinking it had already wound the film.

When I closed the back of the camera everything worked fine.

I then snapped off the pics the camera said were left.

After this first role, I loaded the next role like normal. The camera worked like a charm!

By the way...the mirror dropped back down when I manually wound the film around the spool.

I hope this works...if it doesn't make any sense feel free to email me with any questions..

GOOD LUCK.

This is a known problem with this camera (and not the only one..). The fix is easier but ammaseur was close enough.. The fix is to manually force a film rewind by pressing at the same time the two rewind buttons (marked) as described in the manual. Then it should work fine until it happens again & you'll have to repeat. Hope this helps, otherwise an ok camera for the price.
