• Fuzzy background and subject could be caused by:  Camera movement or a dirty lens.
• Fuzzy subject only could be caused by:  Subject motion or improper focusing.

• Darker bands across the width of 35mm film are usually caused by stress when the film is wound in the wrong direction. Always turn the rewind knob in the direction indicated by the arrow.

• Load and unload film only in subdued light.
• Check to make sure camera back closes tightly.
• Make sure film is fully rewound before opening camera back.

If frame numbers are visible on the "blank" films, then both the film and processing were all right.

• Unexposed film accidentally sent in for processing.
• Camera shutter failed to open.
• Lens cap left on.
• Film failed to advance.  Could be caused by improper loading. Make sure both rows of holes are engaged in winding sprocket.

• Part of 35mm picture is properly exposed, the rest is dark. The flash is not properly synchronized with the shutter speed, probably because the shutter speed setting was too fast. Check camera manual for proper setting.

• Not enough light for simple camera.
• Wrong shutter speed, film speed, or lens opening. Check camera settings.
• Exposure meter not working. Check battery.
• Too far from subject for flash to give enough light.
• Electronic flash wasn't fully recharged.

• Shutter speed too slow, wrong film speed or lens opening. Check camera settings; if OK, camera may need service.
• Flash too close to subject. Check your camera or flash manual for proper distances.
