my winding knob gets loose after taking one picture - is it me or the camera that's wrong?

It must be the lever film advance, it may be that you're not putting well when you change the film, otherwise I think it may be fault of the camera, if so you should take her to a specialist for repair workshop.

That's the camera's issue. They sometimes have technical difficulties like that, and they will repair themselves most of the time if you turn it off and let it sit for a little. If it doesn't fix itself try taking it into a camera store that knows about film cameras and they'll help ya!

Do you mean the film rewind knob? Or the film advance lever? The rewind knob shouldn't really be used until you're at the end of your roll, so I wouldn't worry if its that, however if that doesn't turn as you advance the film then something is wrong. If it's your film advance lever - that's probably not good - could be the film isn't loaded correctly or the lever is coming loose.

Have you gently touched while it is facing the ground to see if you can get it to close? have you checked to see if something is between the very fragile shutter flaps?

Hi, sorry to hear that, i have no idea if fixing is needed, but have you checked if it is locked? there is a wheel you can can turn near the shutter relese that might be set to lock and thus you can't use it.hope this is the only issue and that this will solve your problem.

I would go with the other comment by EDay. I usually have found if my camera is not performing a certain function it is probably a setting has accidently been changed. Sometimes an employee at a local camera shop can help you out-they like to show al they know. Good Luck!

Just open the transparent done cover and gently turn the black lens hood. One of my cameras was fixed did way. However don't force it if it does turn freely as you may damage the camera. Loosen the small screw first. Good luck

Hi! I'll look at mine again. I think the previous answer was right, I think I remember directions being in the wrong order. Sometimes, I don't know if this is helpful or not, the spring is the key to making it work right. If the spring isn't installed correctly it won't hold open or shut what it needs to. What is the exact problem you're having? Shutter won't close or open?

It is dust. I have had two cameras do this... same model. If you carry the camera in your pocket dust eventually gets inside. If it is under warranty send it back. Otjerwise buy a new camera. Not a Canon.

I found that to only happen occasionally and mainly if I didn't pull it a little tighter and with the camera in front. When having it around back I locked it for more security. Hope this helps.

I haven't had anything like that happen to mine. I was just looking at the lens and honestly I can't see what might fall off in the way of a thin, plastic circle or ring. If the camera is still operating properly then I'd say keep taking pictures. With hope the now-missing circle/ring hasn't left an opening where dust and dirt can get into the lens or the camera itself. Keep us posted.

I'm guessing it's the lens, since the motor is built-in and not in the camera. Easiest way to find out is for her to stop by a camera store and try a different lens on it.

Well thanks a whole lot. I was having the same problem and was prepared to buy another camera since I have had mine for a few years and read how much it was going to cost to evaluate the problem. I smacked mine as well and it works. Will blow out with a can of air as well.

Hi there,I wish I knew why. Mine is acting the same way. Both times I've tried to use my camera I lost radio control as well. I was so freaked out by crashing it, I never thought to check the GPS signal indicator light. I got my repair parts Friday, and it's pretty windy today, but I'll be checking this out later in the week.

There are two allen wrench screws in the plastic you need to loosen. They are very tiny. I wound up just very carefully tilting the camera by grabbing it and slowly working it down. ( I didn't have aa small enough allen wrench!) Just turn it slow and it should move.

Recently returned one because the shutter would seize half way when the battery inside the grip went low. Instead of switching to use the battery inside the body, it didn't seem to do so, and I had a lot of problems. Missed a few shots during a wedding reception because of it.

Not sure if I can help you. I have no such issues with my camera. Did you order the item used? It sounds like it is not functioning correctly.

I found the same to be the issue I had as well as the charging connect becoming loose. If you just received the camera I would try to return it. The one I had worked for two months then it stopped. I caulked it up to lesson leaned
