How Do You Change The Film On A Nikon Slr Camera?
Rewinding the Film
When the film reaches its end, the film-advance lever will not rotate further. That is the end of the roll, so rewind the film.
1). Return the film-advance lever to Its folded position.
2). Press the film-rewind button. Just press the button once. You don’t have to hold it pressed.3). Rewind the film. Pull out the film-rewind crank and turn it in the direction of the arrow. Approaching the end of film rewind, you will feel a slight resistance in the crank. Continue turning and stop when resistance to the crank falls to zero.
4). Open the camera back and remove the film cartridge. Pull up the film-rewind knob to open the camera back, and take out the film cartridge.
Caution: DO NOT open the camera back unless you are sure rewinding is complete.
Controls in DetailThe above procedures are pretty straight forward to setup the camera. To use the camera skillfully, you need to understand its mechanisms, functions and features.

Since I don’t know which Nikon you have, I’ll have to answer this generically.
Look on the bottom of the camera. There should be a small, recessed button. Press it. Lift the rewind crank & turn until the film comes off the spool. (You may need to hold the button down with doing this.) After you’re doing rewinding, lift the rewind crank straight up. This will open the back & you can remove the film.
