ABSTRACT:
A method of recycling a single-use camera after a function of the camera has been purposefully disabled to prevent unauthorized reuse of the camera, comprising inputting a reset code to the camera to re-enable the function that has been disabled to permit authorized reuse of the camera, is characterized further by inputting a start code to the camera before the reset code is to be inputted to the camera to condition the camera for testing, testing the camera to determine whether the camera is reusable, and preventing the reset code from being inputted to the camera when testing the camera indicates the camera is not reusable.
