That´s not entirely correct either. My winder ME II works like this: in single shot mode when you press the winder release the shutter will fire and film is wound on immediately. If you press the camera release the shutter will fire but the winder will not wind. If you now press the winder release the winder will wind but not fire the shutter. All the best!
