Hi all,
My beloved XA stopped working.
It started when I took it out on a cold day (approx 25°F). Every time I winded the film, it would take the picture by itself, before I touched the shutter release. Then I took it back indoors and it worked OK.
After a couple of weeks, the same problem occurred and then it got completely stuck. Now the situation is the following :
Apparently something prevents the shutter from firing... has anyone encountered this? Is there any known fix?
Thanks

After a couple of weeks, the same problem occurred and then it got completely stuck. Now the situation is the following :
- the film winder is stuck, the exposure counter is on "S".
- the rewind release button is stuck in "pressed" position.
- the battery is ok (light + continuous sound).
- self-timer works : when I press the shutter release, the timer fires (light + sound), but when it's complete, nothing happens.
- since self-timer works, I think shutter release is ok.
Apparently something prevents the shutter from firing... has anyone encountered this? Is there any known fix?
Thanks

Poor art student
Digging up an old thread, but I don't suppose anyone ever found a fix for this?
