Film auto loading?

[brokenarrow]

Hello Everybody,

I got a question about my film... Anyone with the Canon Owl PF and AF....

I made my first homebrew game cam with the Canon Owl PF... I set it up at a

party to test it out and it worked beautifully... It took lots of good pictures...

Then I took it to the woods... Turned it on and left it... I walked in front of it a

couple times and I seen the flash... a week later I went to swap out the film... and

the picture counter was on Zero.... and it appeared that the film did not advance

after each picture.. Because the whole roll was unexposed... Thats what they said

at the photo lab...Do you think that I loaded the film wrong? It's a brand new

camera... Surely the Auto winder thingy motor hasn't burned up yet... At a loss?

Broken Arrow in MO.....

If I remember right when you load the owl and the film advances it should change from 0 to a 1 meaning you are about to take your first pic. If it doesn't change the film didn't load. I had the same thing happen to me. I check now each time Iload the film to make sure it gives me a 1. Hope this helps Thanks
