And that my friends is why when you inherit cameras you take them to a shop and have them checked out in case anything is wrong with them.

How did they come out? Were they all white or all black?

Did you put a battery in the camera so the light meter would work?

Did you use the light meter to make sure the pictures you took were properly exposed?

Did you take the lens cap off?

Well seeing as it's an SLR it'd be pretty hard to think you were taking pics with the lens cap on, since the viewfinder looks through the lens.

But hey, ya never know.

Depends on reference actually.

There are many times I refer to it as curtain especially when dealing with flash timing and synch speeds it is more accurate to call it a curtain.

well what ever you call it... if a SLR check if mirror goes up too! you should be able to see right tru. If you can, try changing the speed to like 1 sec and see if you cant spot the difference.
