533/16 shutter operation


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

It seems I remember there is a trick to get the shutter on a 533/16 to work properly using the release ¡®button¡¯ on the body. I have 2 old ones that I am putting on EBAY and both can be tripped by flipping the release lever on the lens housing, but the release buttons on the body are not working. Anyone know the trick? (or do I have 2 cameras with bad linkages?)

?


 

Ted,

You need to use the camera as though it had a film in it. Open the back and nclosemit. Then advance the "film" and set
the counter to "!". Cock the shutter and release with the body release. Continue by advancing the "film", cocking the
shutter and firing the body release until you reach the end of "exposure" 11 where you have to change "films".
