Bunny Snow		Question about Elan 7E I understand how to take a roll of film OUT of the Elan 7E when the roll is half used. But, I don't understand how to replace a half used roll into this automatic camera, so that the roll can be finished off. Yes, I can insert the film, but that's not the problem. When I tried to shoot with the cap on, the camera said I did not have enough light, understandably, and would not allow pictures to be taken. Is there anyway I can advance the roll past #15, so as to continue shooting without making double exposures. Hence, can anyone explain to me how I can salvage a half exposed roll of film? Thanks.

Andy		Susan, after you inserted the roll, set the camera's exposure mode to M and the lens to manual focus. Then you just press the shutter release until you reach the number of frame you desire. Hope this helps. To love this comment, log in above January 18, 2005

Bunny Snow		Thanks, Andy. That worked perfectly! I really appreciate your help. With you and others at BetterPhoto.com, I don't need to have a camera store selling Canon product in my community in order to better understand Canon, or other problems that come up. You all are great! Bunny To love this comment, log in above January 18, 2005
