The camera is a MINOLTA Freedom Zoom 140 EX. I bought it used. After inserting the 2 batteries I opened the back to insert the film. I got an electric Shock. Removing the 2 batteries did not solve the problem, still got a shock, when touching the film. Can someone help? Thanks

If it has a built in flash there may be a stored charge. Try to fire the flash.
