Hi again, I have a friend who is helping me with this and he said that the problem doesn't seems to be in that switch. I'm trying to explain what he is experiencing: When the camera has power the shutter opens but, when he tries to take a picture, the camera doesn't make the regular sequence of taki...

Hi babas92,

Thank you! I'll try that

I was enjoying my "new" SX-70 when, after a few shots, I took a picture. The camera ejected that frame but also all the film in the pack. After ejecting all the film, the motor keeps running. It just stops when I open the film door. Every time I insert one package (with exposed film, of co...

Well, something weird happened to my camera. Suddenly, the camera (the flash part) became hard to close (Polaroid 600 Sun LMS). I was in a hot room, and I opened and closed the camera, everything was normal. Then, I went outside and it was cold (well, maybe 14ºC)... I took a picture and, after that,...

Just an update: yes, it was a defective pack. I've been shooting with the camera and no problem with film ejection

Thanks! I was able to remove the picture by forcing the door to open a little bit

With a new film cartridge, the camera ejected the darkslide without any problem!

Thanks for the answers! Do you mean, trying to roll the sprockets, in order to make the rollers work? If I force the film door to open a little, I won't end up with any broken piece? I tried to pull the film off with a tweezer but I'm having some troubles because the film is only a few mm out of the...

Hum, the problem is, I can't open the film door. It seems that it is blocked somehow...
Should I try to pull the film that is stucked?

So I just got an SX-70. I didn't know if the seller sent to me an empty cartridge, so I opened the film door to see it. I took it off and inserted it again... The cartridge is old and it seems that it doesn't have enough battery by the slow noises that the camera made. Now I think the mirror is stuc...

I know that, but the only diference between both types of film is their ISO. For the ejection test, it works! But, if you want to shoot, you can also use 600 type film on a SX-70 type camera, using a ND filter. It's nice, this way you can use all that kinds of film that impossible produces for 600 t...

Yes, that part seems a little damaged :roll: I tried to slide the pack manually and I was able to do it... So, after that, I tried it on the second camera and nothing happens. Motor working, no ejection. Then I tried to take a photo and it came out! :D I already took a picture, and it came out at th...

Well, I'm back, and at this point I don't really know what causes the problem. I bought a new camera, sold as tested. Well, you never know, but buyer says that it is working. Curiously, the exact same thing happened: I insert the film, I hear the motor working, but the dark slide doesn't come out. :...

Thanks!

Well, the document isn't clear about the issue of not ejecting the dark slide, but from what I understand, it seems that the camera isn't able to pick to move the film?

Hum, no, the film doesn't seem to move...

Thanks for the documentation, but I can't open the link. It says 404 Not Found...

So... I bought this camera on ebay... I pretty much found it no so expensive and in pretty good cosmetic shape, with the original box and some cool manuals and brochures. Buyer said that when he inserts an old cartridge, the camera makes noise and the light was on, so I thought it will work. When it...
