You can check this by looking through the lens from the back of the camera and releasing the shutter several times to see if it is opening each time. When I first used the camera I <em>sometimes</em> thought I had released the shutter but hadn't pushed the release down fully. Good luck!

They were so convincing that I recently bought one myself and absolutely enjoyed taking photos with it and having strangers come and ask me what was dangling around my neck. However, when I processed the film, all I got was blanks with three sporadic "decent" photos. Do you have any ideas? Thank you in advance and I hope to hear from you soon. PS: I used 400iso film and the lens cap was off. I changed settings to suit the conditions (sunny/cloudy). Hi there Cameron,

After the Queen opened it, it stayed open for an hour while people were falling about because of way too much movement, then it was closed for rebuilding. The designer blamed the droll London people and their slow methodical steps.... Did you know about the “Millenium Bridge” in London Cam?
