Camera will not turn on
Dead batteries
The camera's batteries might be drained. Check the camera to make sure that there are 2xAA
batteries that are fully charged and in the correct orientation within the battery compartment.
This my be a simple solution but may be something that is easily overlooked.
Lens not functioning
The lens unit might be stuck. Use the lens release switch to extend the lens. Make sure there is an
opening through the lens when viewed from behind. Please refer to our Lens unit replacement
guide if the lens unit ceases to function.
General I/O board malfunctions
The camera lens should pop out once the lens release switch is triggered, and a light should
appear on the aperture ring to show that the camera is ready to shoot.
Film not developing/ejecting out of the camera
Film slot blocked
If the film does not come out of the camera, check the back cover and film ejection slot. Replace
the film cartridge with a new one, but if that does not solve the problem then check if there is
anything blocking the photo ejection slot.
Damaged film
The film may not eject properly or get stuck if it is damaged. Avoid bending, excessive pressure,
and direct sunlight once the self-developing process begins.
Film incorrectly loaded
If the film cartridge is not inserted properly, then the camera will not work properly. Check the
film holder to make sure that it is the correct film and that there is still remaining film in the
holder.
Film roller malfunctioning
There is also a mechanical roller in the camera which is used to eject the film from the camera.
Once the film is removed, release the shutter to determine if the roller is functioning properly.
