I just found out I might have a problem with my LX timer function. I sincerely don't recall ever using it before so I don't know weather it worked one year ago when I got the camera.
I follow the procedure correctly: I cock the shutter, press the multi-function lever button, wind the lever either halfway or full wind, then i press the shutter button.
What happens is: the shutter fires right away, bypassing the timer. As I continue pressing down on the button it eventually activates the timer mechanism which works as it should.
It seems as the tripping sequence is wrong. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
I must also specify that I have no batteries loaded in the camera at this time, but I doubt thay have anny effect.
Thank you in advance for your input!
Is the shutter actuating or the mirror just locking up? The mirror should lock up as soon as you hit the shutter release, but the shutter will actuate once the timer goes off.
