Hello, I recently came into possession of a Nikon n8008, it works seamlessly except for the actual film loading and usage. When I load film into it the sprockets grab and it advances and the camera recognizes the iso, it however will keep pulling the film forward claiming it's empty without going to the first frame and therefore takes no pictures and takes the entire roll if I keep pressing the shutter. Any tips?

How do you know the film is advancing? How can you tell the sprockets are grabbing? If it's not loaded correctly, it'll try to advance/load every time you press the shutter, but the film won't be moving.

I'm having trouble picturing what's going on. Do you have a copy of the manual? I'll post a copy here, if it'll let me...
