How do I get the film out of a minolta maxxum 430si rz?

I recently got a minolta maxxum to borrow from a friend and I used the last of the film and it won't auto rewind how do i get the film out?|||Three steps..


One, find the round indent on the bottom of the camera with a round release in the center, you push it in.


Do not open the back yet...





Look at the rewind knob.. see the arrow.. only go in that direction or you will unscrew the top..go slow until you feel the pressure go very light, often with a bit of a pop like noise as the film lets go of the take up spool.





Then, wind a few more times just to make sure the film is back in the film can.





Then and only then do you open the back of the camera.





If you are unsure take it to a one hour film developer what has ppl who use film cameras to do it for you.
