My camera is ill...help

[minolta]

Hi there,

i've got a problem with my camera. It's a minolta dynax 4. I got her years ago and now, for first time, something goes wrong. I can't explain that to me.
Everything is running fine: no problem with the film, no problem to take pictures, no problem of rewinding and so on. The matter is that there's no result, that means, the negatives are empty. I'd be very glad if anybody could help me! Thanks guys.

oh, sorry to hear that! one little question: are the negative strips black or clear? or in other words: is there too much or no light coming in, is your "blende" (sorry, don't know the english word right know but you'll know what i mean)broken or does your camera let light in in the back...

@ Stine, "blende" = Aperture ;)

@ Minolta, be sure to sett your film speed correctly,
if you are using a film with a speed rating of ISO 100
and your camera is sett to ISO 400 your negatives will be under exposed.

Thanks guys for answering...
The negative stripes are clear @ stine. The assistent said, that they are looking like an empty film. But I'm absolutely sure, that there were pictures on it.
@ barret, thanks for the advice, but I think I took the film with the right speed rating for my camera. But, to be sure, I'll look it up.
Hope for some other opinions about my problem.

The problem is solved. It had something to do with the aperture, like stine thought. Don't know how to say...it didn't worked because, it was kind of wrong situated.
Thanks for your help.
