How Do you open the film compartment on a 35mm camera?

Emily asked:


I have a photography assignment that is due, and I can’t open the film compartment of my camera, to insert the film. I know how to load the film, but I can’t manage to get the film compartment open on this camera (I can’t find any sort of release button). My camera is a Pentax, if that helps at all. Please help me!

Does anyone know how to pitch film ideas to producers?

    Take your Pentax to a camera store. Ask them to show you how to open it. They will be glad toso. Its is no sweat for them and even if you are not in there to buy , they will see it as good will when you do.
    Most people, like on this message board, WANT to help someone in need.
    It feels good , doesnt cost anything.

    The camera if you have an older pentax website have release lever on the rewind dial straight up until the left or right side of the camera if you have an older pentax pull the three newer cameras shown on the rewind dial straight up until the back pops open.
