- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi,
I’ve been trying to test out my newly acquired Minolta autocord and have run into a maybe major problem and am really unsure what the problem is.
basically, I go to take a photo: compose, focus, click the shutter. Because the noise is different to other cameras I’ve used I think there’s something wrong and try to press again but it doesn’t fire (obviously). Then I go to wind on the frame but the lever WILL NOT BUDGE! it just won’t move at all.
I start thinking something’s wrong.
Then I stupidly change the speed and try again...same issue.
It will not move on. It’s stuck at 1.
After googling I learnt that trying to change the speed while shutter is cocked messes up the camera badly but that’s all i can find out.
can anyone help me? So disappointed and think I may have wrecked the camera after just getting it.
after opening up the back, can see that the taking lens is not open.
