Hello,
I recently bought a Minolta XG9, and I'm quite an amateur in the world of photography. I know very little, but I would love to explore this field. I'll get straight to the point: I've checked the basics to see if my camera works (battery, lever, diaphragm, shutter opening when taking a photo, etc.). When I load a roll of film, it runs smoothly when I advance and take a picture. However, I've noticed that when this roll was finished and I rewound it, it was blank, as if no photos had been taken. I'm not sure what to do; I can't find anything online. If anyone knows how to help me (I'm just a beginner; this is my first film camera), thank you for your responses.
PS: Yes, I removed the lens cap before taking photos.

Hello,
A film in analog format needs to be processed in chemical baths to obtain the negative film used for printing photos.
The fact that it was taken out of its reel in light has completely erased the photos, and with the naked eye, it is impossible to see if the film has been exposed or not.
