What happens when you rewind a film without pressing the rewind release button?

Berrak G. asked:


I have a Nikkormat FT3, and I forgot to press the rewind release button before turning the rewind knob (yes, stupid, I know). There were some weird sounds coming – the forcing of the film I suppose – but after a very little while the knob felt loose. I think the time it took was too short for the whole roll to be rewinded. Any idea what happened? Should I open the camera? I really don’t want the film to be ruined.

    The camera in the film take it or try to attach or try to fix it repaired asap.
    Film advance is right you need to fix it dont force it does not moving easily or focus with ease dont force it or the future you need to know one thing about cameras are precision instruments and they can recover the back of the film take it yourself take it into camera to lab and process it dont force it dont force anything if it dont.
    Film take it repaired asap.
