Cory, I highly recommend Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure." One thing he will tell you to do is to get out of the auto mode to have more control over the outcome. I don'r understand what would cause the entire roll to be blank unless you didn't fully feed the film leader into the takeup spindle.

Was the last roll Blank or BLACK? Look at the negatives. Are they all dark or are they all light? If the negatives are all light and you can easily see through them, there might be a problem with the shutter and they might not have been exposed. On the other hand, if it's hard for you to look through th negatives and they appear black, then something happened and your film was exposed to way too much light. Possibly the camera was opened and the film was all exposed. Be sure to check the negatives. If ALL of the negative, is dark including between where exposures would be and on the edges where the camera advances the film (top and bottom of the film) then the film was overexposed by something other than clicking the shutter like opening the back, or the technician messing up or something like that. Something that you can try is to take pictures in M or total manual mode. If you don't know much about metering, here's what to do. -Load 100 speed film(ISO100). Again, look at the negatives and make a very VERY detailed description of EXACTLY what you see. I'm referring to your "blank" roll.
