How do you remove film from Canon FT without removing the pictures on the film?

I know it's a stupid question, but it's my question. I believe this Canon FT is from 1970, and obviously it's not mine but my dad's. He tought me how to do just about everything except remove the film.


Right now I'm using FujiFilm #24 to take photographs, but I've taken more than that, 34 to be exact. I'm also wondering if that will make my oldest photos a double exposure?


The camera hasn't stalled when trying to take pictures so I'm wondering when it'll stall because it's only supposed to be able to take 24.|||Try rewinding the film. The knob on the top left of the camera has a little crank that folds out. Wind it clockwise. If it spins freely, you didn't load it properly and took no photos. If it stalls, push in the little button on the bottom of the camera and try again.


Or, you wound it too hard, ripped the film out of the cassette, and now must open the camera in total, absolute darkness and pull the film out by hand (don't forget the rewind button), roll it up into an opaque film can, and make sure the lab knows that there's raw film in the can.


Good luck.|||I don't know much about film, but perhaps it's the case that the "#24" refers to some aspect other than exposures? I do know that a lot of film now commonly comes with 36 exposures.





To get the film out you need to roll it back up. This varies with the model and your film drive. Once you've rolled it back up you can safely open the camera to take the film out.|||First, to check whether the film is loaded properly, take a picture, look at the rewind spool (the knob on the left of the camera), and wind the film. If the spool moves, you still have a few more pictures left on the roll. Go until shot 36, or the winding mechanism stops. Once that's done, push the small button on the bottom, and wind the winding knob (the same knob as before) clockwise about 30 times (more is fine). Then open the back, and take the film out.





If the film didn't load properly, follow the instructions on the link below to load the film. The FT does not load like normal SLRs, so loading can be a bit tricky.
