Sure Shot 80 Tele manual film wind?

I've got an old Sure Shot 80 Tele that still has film in it, partially
used. I'd like to have the film developed but I no longer have a
battery for the camera and would prefer to not buy one, as I don't
intend to use the Sure Shot again. As I have no instruction manual
(and Canon's website was useless for support), can anyone please tell
me how to manually rewind the film that's in the camera?

Thank in advance,

Megan

 

1) Most 1 hour lab places will hapilly remove the film for you without
causing you to buy a battery. It goes without saying that you should
have the good grace to develop the film there.


2) Not sure for your model. In the absence of anyhing better:

-go into very dark room at night
-open the camera [some cameras have locked doors when film is loaded]
-gently remove the film cartridge (trailing some film behind for a short
distance)
-avoid touching the film
-hold the film cartridge in a way to block the spool from turning
-pull gently to remove the film from the camer body
... while occasionally winding the film into the cassette.

-until it's completely in the cassette


Hope that helps.

Thank you, Alan. I didn't know that a camera place would remove film;
I'll let them do the honors.

Being less of a "people person" than Alan, and (perhaps) more electronically
oriented, I would set one of my bench power supplies to the proper battery
voltage, and clip lead the power into the camera's battery compartment, and
then let the camera's circuitry do the rewinding for me. I post this here as
an alternative, in case Alan's suggestion doesn't work out......

 

I'm not accused of that very often!

DOH!!! I should have added that one too!

Cheers,
Alan

 

Oh come on, everybody has a variable DC power supply at home...don't they?

 

Of course they do, but few people have a custom wave generator. ;-)

Yep. Mine's a bit low powered, but...

 

I've a counter timer and a 'scope but I think you have me beat with the
waveform generator.

 

Goodness, I still think that letting the photo person do it for me
sounds a lot easier. It seems that I've misplaced both my bench power
supply AND waveform generator. Darn the luck. ;-)

Thanks much for all of the advice,

Megan
