I have an old Canon Eos 500 film camera which has a film in it.
The camera has no power though, even with new batteries.
The film is partially used, and I want to manually rewind it to get it out.
If there is no manual rewind on the bottom you will need to bring it to the chemist where they should be able to remove the film in blackout situation(in a black bag perhaps). Slim
I wouldn't bring it to a chemist these days. If the new batteries aren't doing anything, then bring it to a specialist camera shop.
There's usually a small pen sized button on the bottom/back of the canon slr's for rewinding film mid-roll, have you tried that? It has a circle with 2 arrows next to it.
The difficulty is that the EOS 500 (a very fine camera!) has an automatic rewind. Rewind in mid-roll should be possible, though, IIRC. Are you sure the batteries are making good contact inside the chamber?
As myate says, a "proper" camera shop should be able to sort you out in a minute or two. Go to the oldest looking person in the shop.
I have an Eos3-HS which is a bit different, but according to this link to the manual, same procedure applies, just that the buttons are in different place - page 50 is what you need, but I think you do still need power.
