If not you may not be loading it correctly. If it is an automat you must feed the film under the thin chrom roller. When the film is loaded correctly you do not line up arrows, just close the back and the film should stop at number one automatically. If you do not feed the film under this roller the film will just wind right through the whole roll without stoping. Hope this helps. John Shick
