I checked and it seemed operable. I went to the freezer and got out a roll of my sisters film. It being frozen, I microwaved it for 10-15 secondes to defrost. Being that this was an old camera, I tried it with and without a flash. Because of its age can I expect good pictures. I have given the film to K-Mart and await the results. What is your guess. If this is a joke, let me follow up by suggesting that next time you microwave the camera as well, so it can be more sensitive to what the film just went through. Or, since it's an old camera, it might not be microwave-safe; you could try poaching it lightly in water with a little bit of vinegar for a minute or two.
