MY PROBLEM IS THAT WHENEVER I LOAD A FILM INTO THE DYNAX 700SI AFTER I TAKE THE FIRST PHOTO THE FILM REWINDS INTO THE CARTRIDGE.THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THREE FILMS CAN YOU HELP

Michael Hohner answers:
This can happen if the film is tight in the can, or the camera has to be re-adjusted for the film tension.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE, HOW DO I RE-ADJUST THE CAMERA FOR FILM TENSION

Michael Hohner answers:
That's something a repair shop would have to do.

Do you know if the case for the 700si, the CH-700si with the CB-700si base, will fit the 800si camera?

Michael Hohner answers:
The 800si appears to be bigger, so I don't think it will fit.

I bought a used camera and it will not load film and in the window it is flashing help. Just trying to figure out what it all means.

Michael Hohner answers:
This is a general error message. Try taking out the battery for a minute. If the error message reappears the camera needs repairs. In your case I'd return it to the seller.
