Timeline for How can you tell if the shots were taken or not? And is it okay to leave an unfinished roll film in the camera for a long time?

As each frame is exposed the film is wound back into the film capsule. This has the advantage of storing all but the last couple of exposed frames inside the film holder where they are protected from being ruined if the back of the camera is accidentally opened before the roll is completely shot. | |

As I said, I'm not familiar with your camera. Does it have manual film advance? When the roll is finished, you will probably just not be able to advance the lever any further. If it has automatic advance, the camera will probably automatically detect when the roll is finished and rewind it for you. Check your manual. Actually, I just googled it - the Ricoh YF-20 detects the end of the roll and rewinds it for you. | |
