What film do i use for my camera and where do i get it from?

i have a nikon fm10 film camera. its been in my moms closet for about 10 years and she claims it takes "blank" pictures. i havent taken a pic. yet but i was wondering if its broken or i dont know how to use it!


also, i dont know what film to buy for it. i want to take black %26amp; white pics and regular. i dont really want to develope them on my own so where do i go to develop and buy the film??


thank you!|||You could simply google Nikon FM 10 for some leads to a manual.


The 'blank' photo bit is a bit of a worry. May only need a new battery which would effect the light meter and settings would off from that. Might be recommended to take it to a good camera shop for a little tune-up.


It's a 35 mm camera, film is available|||I would ask her about the camera before you buy the film. It is possible it is broken. It may not be economical to fix it. If you are wanting to start a hobby have her help you find what you need.|||Take the lens off and operate the camera.





Make sure that the mirror goes up and down. Also make sure the shutter is opening and closing. If it is doing both then you will not get "blank" pictures.|||take it to a camera store and ask emm to look at it, if it works buy fuji film, 400 speed, for color. its the best and its cheaper. if you want black and white , ask for something that can be developed with regular color pics, then you wont have to send it out|||Yea, it is definitely a 35mm SLR. Any 35mm film will work, but the better film can only be bought through a camera store either online or in store. B%26amp;H and Adorama sell quality film at a good price.





Google the name of your city with 'film processing' to find some local labs. I found a lab locally that is actually less expensive than a department store lab.





For B%26amp;W, make sure you get true B%26amp;W film. Like T-Max 400.





Like someone else said, with the lens off, see that the mirror moves and the shutter opens before loading film. If the shutter release button works, the mirror moves and the shutter opens and closes there shouldn't be any problems. You could ask someone at a camera store just to take a quick look at it for you explaining what your mother said. If it seems to be fine, why not run a roll of film through it?





Here is a link to what I believe is a .pdf copy of the manual in case you don't have one:
