It fixed it self i just had to be a bit voilent hahha

Hello i think i have the same problem have you found a solution yet ?

@@reginabernhart2681 no chance i bought new camera instead

Did it work??

A flashing H refers to a motor issue with this camera. It would need to be serviced. However, you'll probably never find a technician for this camera. Easier to buy a new one.

The brand doesn't matter so much, just the type. You want a CR2 battery. Any brand will be fine.

Yes, this is normal.

35mm film. I'd recommend 400 ISO film.

Hey i have the same question have you found a solution yet?

It sounds to me like a motor issue, which is very common on these film cameras unfortunately. People didn't expect anyone to be using them 20-30 years later and they weren't constructed with longevity in mind. Plastic parts often break and cause the camera to cease operation. Ate you able to turn the camera on and take any more images or does it just refuse? If it's the latter, definitely a motor issue. Otherwise, could be a power issue, still an internal issue. And nobody really fixes these. I dabble in fixing them but I don't get lucky half the time.

I mean there's a way to fix almost anything, but it's probably not worth it for these point and shoots. I personally repair a bunch of point and shoots but the work is long and laborious and these cameras weren't built to last any way. No one really expected them to be in use for 40 years so the plastic is brittle and a part of the internal motor is the first thing to go. Usually with the flash its a capacitor issue, electronic issue or burnt out bulb. But nah, probably not worth it for the average person to get fixed. If you're a nut like me, open it up but just realize that there's a potential for electric shock unless you know what you're doing. So if you're willing to deal with some electric shock, give it a go but I can speak from experience that it's not fun.

You're absolutely right, no battery needed if you don't need flash. There's a small geared internal motor but its powered by the thumb wheel so this one is a good one to keep in the bag for everyday use.

This camera takes a CR2 battery.

You can definitely shoot your film with the camera set to a different ISO, depending which you do you're either pulling or pushing your film. But you'll have best results when shot at box speed. When your camera is set to a different ISO from your film it will expose improperly and it will affect your images, though some people like that look so it can be worth experimenting, but I wouldn't try it on anything I really care about.

which button do u hold down?

the one on the bottom right. its directly down from the film advance on the bottom of the camera.

It sounds like a bad connection somewhere. I've opened these cameras up before and they are almost impossible to repair easily. If you can still take photos without the LCD screen (which I don't see why you wouldn't be able to unless there's a film loading issue) then go for it.

Unfortunately it's not really something most people would be able to pull off themselves. The people that would've repaired this camera are either dead or retired. You're better off getting a new camera altogether

You should be able to pull it open with very little effort. Pull in the direction of the arrow on the battery compartment. If you struggle with opening the battery door and you've never used the camera before, there may be a corroded battery in there holding it closed

Yes, any 35mm film is fine. If the box says "135" that just means it's a 35mm film. 36 is the number of exposures and 200 is the ISO/ASA. Just make sure to set the ISO properly. Good luck

@@ClickHere4AGoodTime thank you!!!!

I'm not 100% sure what you mean but no it doesn't sound normal. Are you sure the film has been loaded correctly?

@@ClickHere4AGoodTime when i took the photo and after i turned the film advance, the number is changing (1 to 4) so i assumed that the film have been loaded correctly ☺️. I couldnt figure it out why i need to push shutter button again to take a new one after every photo.

Not a problem. Glad I could help!

35mm film

If you take a photo with it, does the film counter change? Should go from 0 (or S) to 1.

@@ClickHere4AGoodTime Yep the film counter does change

@@sunshine44428 interesting. Hard to say without seeing the camera myself. You're sure the rewind knob isn't moving as you shoot photos? Its possible your film may have become dislocated and isn't loaded properly. I usually have a darkroom to check this in, but most people don't have that available. Is there a local camera store close to you? Or maybe an older person with experience with film?

@@ClickHere4AGoodTime I'm sure. The closest camera store is quite far away from me and no one I know has experience with film. Do you think it would be worth it to risk a few shots on the film and open it to see if it is loaded properly? I have only really taken 3 test shots.

@@sunshine44428 yeah...I might take a few more shots and actually make it worth it...but speaking from experience, you're gonna ruin a few rolls of film before you figure out this film thing. But hopefully something good comes from this and you at least learn to load film. If you accidentally expose your film, you at least have a roll to try again on. Sorry bud, wish I could help more

You mean film?

Try going to this website. Here is the instruction manual. www.manualslib.com/manual/420853/Canon-Sure-Shot-150u-Date.html#manual

I have the same camera. Go to this website, there is an instruction manual to help your problem. www.manualslib.com/manual/420853/Canon-Sure-Shot-150u-Date.html#manual

Thanks for the assist Deanna!

Flashes on these old cameras may need to charge before they can focus. It may take up to 10-15 seconds to charge the flash capacitor so it pays to be patient. If that doesn't work, it may be an issue with your camera itself.

@@ClickHere4AGoodTime thank you sooo much! I will try that :)

A test roll or dummy roll is just a film roll that you dont get developed and reuse. So these rolls are usually either expired film or rolls i find in old cameras. Since I've exposed them I just reuse them to test cameras. You just have to open the camera before rewinding all the way to be able to reuse them. You can also pull them after the fact, but it takes additional tools.

@@ClickHere4AGoodTime can you make tutorial video?

This takes any 35mm film. No specific brand or film necessary.

You're very welcome!

Unfortunately this camera probably won't be able to be repaired at this point. Will have to track down a replacement. These cameras are over 30 years old at this point. Mechanical issues are to be expected.

Hey. I got my moms 30 year old camera (Kodak s100ef) a few weeks ago and had the same problem. I took all the screws out, and cleand the inside well. There were loads of dirt in it.

hi! i had the same problem and solved it by maintaining the metal piece on the right side of the lens (right under the lid that reads "Kodak") open. To see it, you should open the lid a little more than intended. I put a little piece of rubber in there to stop the that metal piece from traveling fully to the left. that allowed me to advance the film and pull the shutter button. hope it helps.

Sorry, I'm late. Did you manage to finish the roll? Does it appear to have loaded properly? Did the film counter advance?
