Hello all!

 

i just recently purchased a Leica C1 vario-elmar film camera from a camera show for $180. i am having problems with shooting in different modes. I talked to Leica techs and unfortunately they were unable to help and reffered me here to the forums. I understand that this camera is now pretty much obsolete, parts and repair are pretty much unavailable.

 

My problem is this..

 

If i scroll/navigate through different modes the shutter will not go off. I can only shoot when the flash is off. Any other mode is not accessible and a red light near viewer will flash (usually red lights is not good). BUT, when i shoot with the flash off, i am able to take a picture. So basically, i can only use the camera if there is sufficient light.. what a BUMMER!! any help or information would be of great help. Does anyone here have any experience with this model? i tried searching the web, but came up with no information. please help.
