frko Posted February 4, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey there, Sometimes my M7 strikes. It won't fire, it's like the curtains are stuck. I have to set the shutter speed to 60 or 125 and then it gets released. Anyone had the same problems? Is it possible cold is making this?

el.nino Posted February 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2010 Is it possible cold is making this? pretty much sounds like a low battery. try a fresh one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangur Ban Posted February 4, 2010 Share #5 Posted February 4, 2010 It's easy to mistake a simple battery failure for something more serious. Just this last weekend I was concerned my R3A had developed a major shutter fault as I could not get the shutter to fire when I pressed the button. A fresh set of batteries neatly solved the problem as I remembered it's an electronic shutter after all. A useful lesson - the first battery replacement in over two years since purchase.

menos I M6 Posted February 5, 2010 Share #6 Posted February 5, 2010 Had a similar issue, when I bought my used M7. A few rolls in, it refused to fire. I was not experienced with the brightness of a "full battery M7" vs. a "low battery M7" either so, I feared the worst. Switched to fresh batteries and the camera runs. I have now "low battery phobia" and always carry 4 cells in my bag, 4 cells in my office and 4 cells at home. You never know, right ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted February 5, 2010 Share #8 Posted February 5, 2010 You're welcome. I too carry a lot of spare batteries for my M7 and its winder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
