ZI zm problem

[Huan]

hi, i am new with the zi zm, and just got a brand new one from BH.
here is the problem: i put in the batteries correctly , then turn Main Switch on, wind the advanced film lever, at every first time i can normally take a shoot, but when i wind again, nothing shows in the viewfinder, i mean the LED something, and nothing happened when press the shutter button.......

help! am i setting something wrong?

thanks anyway...

you're sure (A)... the switch is "on" e.g. red dot visible. (2) you have fully advanced the frame (III) you're looking at a really bright scene... can be hard to see sometimes in bright light. I've also had once or twice the issue where the advance lever jams and doesn't advance all the way. When that happened I just clicked the release button in the bottom and just slightly rewound the film a fraction of a turn to engages everything.. and then continued on without a problem. I'm not sure what other options I can think of as causing this problem. When all else fails, perhaps try another battery.

This is most likely caused by an incomplete lever advance, follow the advice from above and wind the lever fully, then see what happens.

thank you , what's the "fully" mean? i try to wind it to the very end, and the problem still there. also the battery, i changed to a brand new one, but, still not working...........

And when i returned the switch on, i mean on-off-on, it works......

Take the camera back to the store. It should be under warranty, and if it's broken, it can be repaired or replaced. And if you aren't operating it correctly, then can show you how.
