Leofuh Posted January 24, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I found an old Leica AF-C1 from my father in the basement and put in new film and a new battery. Now the camera doesn't want to trigger. But the telefunction works and you can see something on the top of the screen. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about analogue cameras. Can someone help me there? Thank you very much and much greetings:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please use the default. It sometimes happens if you copy paste from another source, rather than writing directly - one has to remember to remove the inherited formatting.

You'd be best advised to take it to a camera shop, or find someone near you with good experience of film cameras. This is essentially a 30 year old Minolta camera, reengineered by Leica.

Thank you:) Does the shutter fire with the 'flash off' button held down? This guy hacked his camera to set this permanently, so the camera now works but the flash still doesn't: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobitybob Posted January 28, 2023 Share #7 Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Don't know if it will help but you can get a copy of the instructions here, https://www.butkus.org/chinon/leica/leica_af-c1/leica_af-c1.htm, it has a section at the end for trouble shooting problems. The other thing to check, is if the film loaded properly as it won't fire if it isn't but all the other functions will work, at least it doesn't on mine anyway.
