Cannot open film door - Minolta Freedom Zoom 160 Date 35mm Point and Shoot Camera

Sorry to hear about this issue. If you have a change bag, I would put a few jewelers screwdrivers in it then put the camera in it. With the bag closed up I would attempt to forcibly open the back. With the camera in the bag there is not any chance to expose the film. After the film is removed wind it back into the cartridge. Now send it off for developing.

Good luck,
Cordially,

Confirm tht DX shows in LCD. If not then press and hold shift button then press ISO so "DX" appears.Open Camera Back. Insert film cartridge, pull film leader out to right and align with red index mark (inside film chamber on right). Make sure there is no slack in leader.Close camera back until lock release snaps closed. Fully depress shutter until film advances to first frame.
Confirm " 1" and film transport show in LCD. If Film is not loaded correctly, "ERR" show on LCD. Open cack and reload film.

After rewinding the film using the little crank on the knob on the left side of the camera, pull up gently until the door opens. this is the lock.

Have you tried rewinding the film? I believe the 5 has a lock that prevents door opening until film is rewound. Check your manual.

You need the camera powered up and all the film used to activate the release mechanism for the lock to release the film door, the Elph film door will not open until all the pictures have been taken. It uses A CR2 Lithium battery

The F2 has a door knob on the bottom cover. Flip out the handle and rotate it counter clockwise to open.

sounds like the door latch broke. (tape) Canon will only replace/upgrade not repair.
ours cracked after a drop then broke replacing the film.

mystroae,
you mean camera, right?
open the film door insert the film pull the film over to the take-up spool. attach it to the spool and close the film door. be sure the batteries are good.

trentshoffne,

bottom of camera open battery cover with a pen point, insert one AA battery close cover.
film door is opened with pen point left side of film door. load film & bring film leader to take up spool, close film door. rotate advance to # 1 counter on bottom.
turn camera on with sliding switch on front of camera, this opens lens cover and turns on flash .( if wanted ) second click.
at end of film roll pull rewind lever up and rotate clock-wise to rewind film.
open film door and remove film.
remember to turn camera off when not using.

does anybody know a freakin solution????
