Problems with film loading/rewinding


I have an older Canon Rebel. I removed a roll of film and developed it two weeks ago with no problem. Now when I load film, instead of winding them film so I can take pictures it rewinds it up into the canister! I have lost four new rolls of film this way and I can't take any pictures. Is there any way to fix this?

  The camera may need to get serviced by a professional. Try removing and replacing the batteries to see if that helps to reset the camera.

Go to a camera store and look for or ask for a film leader retriever tool. You can use it to pull the leaders back out of the new rolls so that they can be used.
