Hello everybody,
I just unloaded my M5 and the counter did not reset completely. It remains at about 9 shoots. I would like to fix it by myself. Any advice (direct advice or links or sources of good repair manuals)?
Thanks in advance for any help

Replace bottom plate. Wind the shutter on gently to about 36, remove bottom plate, or push on the finger which resets the counter, or ignore the problem, most people only discover they are at 36 when the winder stops...

Early M4-2 failed real frequently...

My M5 does the same - the counter only returns to "5".
To fix this properly requires removing the top plate, and getting doing the repair at the counter dial.

Thank you all very much.
I really appreciate your help.
The good news are that I can keep using it. The bad are that eventually I will have to try a repair. I foresee gallons of sweat
