Efina APS film repairs

PPawel · 07-12-2022, 02:55 PM

Hello for the first time. I just got an APS Efina which behaves quite normally except for lack of reaction on shutter button. Quite spoils the pleasure, doesn't it? Is there any chance someone knows how to disassemble it? There must be a hidden screw somewhere. Maybe service manual is available?

The other option would be to use remote control, but the user manual does not name the IR control type. Does it make a difference, or are all controls compatible?

Do you actually have some APS film and means to process it? … just thinking the camera may not operate with no film loaded!

I thought about it and tried with the film, no difference. It would be strange anyway, after all "empty" operation is needed sometimes, but yes, I tried.
