karlitos Posted February 9, 2007 Share #1 Posted February 9, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, Could someone tell me how long the VF LED's/meter should be active after I have taken my finger off the release? At present they go straight out but I was under the impression they should stay on a while. Many thanks to anyone who can help. Karlitos.

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted February 9, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 9, 2007 It should be on (for about 10 sec.) in case the shutter is cocked. When you try to measure with your camera before a filmtransport has been done, it goes off, IMO. I do not have the R4 but a later model. With the R4 it should be the same...

fernando_b Posted February 9, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 9, 2007 Karlitos, I'll check this evening and tomorrow will answer you if you can wait. Fernando. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimF Posted February 9, 2007 Share #4 Posted February 9, 2007 Yes, I think Karl is right. The diodes should stay on for 8-10 secs if the shutter is cocked, but go off immediately if it hasn't been. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlitos Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks very much, i suspected that it should stay on a while, any confirmation would be good though Thanks Karlitos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernando_b Posted February 10, 2007 Share #6 Posted February 10, 2007 Karlitos, I've checked on my R4 and instruction manual: no problem for yours, the led's go off immediately after you release the finger from the button. Tim and others are right but only for models after the R5, from that model (I also checked on my R6) the leds stay lighted for about ten seconds if the shutter is cocked. But this is not true for the models R4 and R4s, so don't worry about it, your R4 is functioning well. Fernando. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlitos Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted February 12, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Fernando, Thanks very much for your help. It has been a while since they were used and I wasn't sure. I thought I had two faulty cameras Thanks Karlitos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimF Posted February 12, 2007 Share #9 Posted February 12, 2007 Thanks for clarifying Fernando. I'd only had experience with an R6.2 before, so made an assumption. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
