How to advance film in a manual/automatic 35mm Nikon N60?

I'm on spring break in Colorado and I brought my Nikon N60 to take pictures for school, but I had to take the lens off to fix something. When I put the lens back on the film reeled in so that the roll restarted to picture 1. I tried to see if I could advance the film but the scroll to advance it didn't seem to be working. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if its just broken. I would really love to take more quality pictures rather than using my phone or cheap digital camera, as my vacation has just started.

I looked at my N60 and remembered that it would automatically rewind at the end of the film. You could also press the rewind button on the camera's bottom if you wanted to rewind the film in mid-roll.

Most likely, the film is completely rewound into the protective canister. If you've not taken any shots of value, simply open the back. If you have, then I'd suggest taking it to a local camera shop (not a walmart or such) and they should have a "darkbag" to safely remove the film.

Then, simply buy some more film and you should be good to go. The camera isn't winding because the film is no longer attached to the take-up reel. Remember, the "scroll" is not a film winder, but the command wheel for the camera's settings.

Here's a link to the manual (two parts) for your reference.

Hope this helps. Enjoy your Spring Break!

Enjoy your vacation.

Open the back and see if the film indeed rewinded to the start. If you see a frame of film over the shutter curtain, those few frames are destroyed. If you see a short film tab out of the film canister, you could reload the film and shoot blanks (with the lens covered) until you reach the count before the trouble started (add one more just to be sure you don't double expose the last frame). If the film went back inside the can completely, you can try fishing it out, reload and shoot blanks like the previous option. If you can't fish out the film, you might as well buy a new roll and start all over again. Whatever pictures you took in the first film can still be developed and printed.
