I have a second-hand Canon T50 camera. When I first got it, it took amazing pictures. But now, I have no image in the view-finder and if I try to take a picture, the only thing it will do is an error beep. I am a complete noob when it comes to cameras, so can anyone help me? Thanks.

Sorry to repost on my own post, but I noticed someone else having the same problem in another post. The post said to reset the film sprocket inside the camera. Can someone tell me where this sprocket is? maybe that would help.

The sproket engages with the perforations on the film. It is immediately to the left of the film take-up spool.

Thanks for the help. I tried that and it spins freely. Just wonder if that's a problem.

The rewind button is still engaged, release it, and try again.

Are you talking about the rewind button that's on top of the film speed button? Doesn't the T50 automatically rewind? It's been so long since I used it, I've already forgotten.

I have a Canon T50 but I can't get the film to load.
When I press the shutter button nothing happens. Can
anyone tell me what to do?
