Hi, that's what happens with the MX winder too.
I've wondered before why it is that the camera makers don't provide a switch which lets the photographer decide when to wind the film. I moaned about this after taking a photo with my Contax RX in a church, and finding that the winder noise (quiet though it is) made the people I was photographing aware of my presence. On something like the RX this could be done with one of the PF settings so that one of the existing buttons could be overloaded as a winder button. The functionality should be relatively easy on any electronic camera that has multiple exposure capability because it obviously already has the shutter mechanism and the wind-on motor decoupled and under software control. --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Saturday, October 20, 2001, 4:29:49 PM, you wrote: > Hi Mike ... > You have a lot of favorite cameras, Mike ;-)) > What you've described sounds like a kludge, although I'm sure it has its place > and > value.
