Use a film roll in the Canon Sure Shot camera.
The Canon Sure Shot camera is a film-based still camera designed to look and feel just like a digital camera (with the built-in LCD screen on the back of the camera) but provide the image on film for film lovers. However, when using the Canon Sure Shot you can run into a few issues, such as the flash not functioning or the film returning overexposed after processing.
Instructions
1. Replace the batteries in the Canon Sure Shot. If the flash is not going off or if the lens automatically closes when you attempt to take a picture it is due to the batteries beginning to fail.
2. Open the film chamber on the back of the camera if the film did not catch. This is a common issue and is due to the exposed film not touching the rotating spindle (the film canister is inserted onto the right with the rotating spindle located on the left). Pull the film to the spindle and close the camera again. This time the film should catch and wind onto the spindle.
3. Remove your finger from the flash of the camera. A blocked (or partially blocked) flash results in an unevenly lit image.
4. Clean the dust off the camera lens cleaning cloth. This is the same cloth you use for cleaning eye glasses. Dust on the lens appears as large black dots in pictures you take. Removing the dust corrects the issue of black dots on your developed images.
