what's wrong with my camera?

One problem that film cameras have always had is a film jam. Depending on how you loaded the film, and sometimes the temperature, the film can jam in the camera. If you have the kind of camera that automatically advances the film it will stop working as a result of a jam.

Take the camera to bed, note the last picture taken, and put it under the blankets. In total darkness you can open the camera back without exposing the film. So open the back and remove the film. It's handy to wear some cotton gloves to do that so you won't put any finger prints on the film.

Once you've got the film out, while you're still under the blankets, feed the film back into the cartridge but remember to leave a bit sticking out. Once that's done you can come back into the daylight and reload the film, carefully this time. Now cover the lens with something and take a series of pictures to advance the film one exposure past your last pictrue and all should be well.

If the film jams again there's one of three possiblities. You may still not be loading it properly in which case return to your manual and see exactly how it's supposed to be loaded. It's also possible that the film is defective. In 35 years of shooting film I did once have a bad film. Also in a jam sometimes the filmcan be damaged which would affect its ability to feed through the camera too. In this case try another roll. If that doesn't work either your camera is defective.

There can be other issues too especially with a new camera but you're not specific on what "stopped working" means. If it turns on with no problem it is likely the film. But on the other hand if the film is ok, then you've got some other problem and the camera needs to go back for warranty repairs. My reason for responding to you is that the most common camera problems have always been film jams.

Try taking it to the storeu bought it from but hmy friends did the same thing once he bought it left it alone for about a weekand half and it only took 4pictures my friend said the store said it was sorta like a car; it get gummy if u dont use it often and once u buy it so thats wat im telling u

check the film on the camera may be there is problem with the film.

Yes, don't buy those throw away cameras Goodwill has good ones for less than $8.00.

You put a film in it?? try a digital camera with a xd picture card, its a more modern way to do it these days...

take it back from where you got it from... if it had any warrenty on it they should give you a brand new one.... or maybe they can tell you what's wrong with it and fix it.... GOOD LUCK!!!

try to return it
