Lens Loaded
Posted on Sunday, December 5, 2010 in Photography
I loaded film in my Minolta camera, and now the shutter curtain is off. What do I do?
I figured out how to load film in my Minolta, but now it won't take pictures. I took the film out, and the black fabric curtain behind the lens has a plastic line down it. I'm wondering if this may be the problem. It looks like where the fabric is seamed together. I'm not sure what to do.
your shutter sounds normal, those lines control the width of the slit of light at shutter speeds above 1/60th (flash synch speed)
I take it you are using an x-300 or something similar.
Check you have wound on properly (there should be a safe load check on the frame counter - you need to wind the spool on a couple of frames during loading)
If this doesnt help and the batterries are good then it sounds like the capacitor near the battery has failed. This was a common problem. Not economic to fix.
