How do I check the shutter mechanism of my LC-Wide?
To manually check the shutter mechanism of your LC-Wide, simply do the following:
- Open the rear door of your LC-Wide by pulling up on the rewind crank; this is situated on the top left of your camera (as seen from behind).
- Now slide the lens cover switch over to reveal the lens, turn the advance wheel to cock the shutter, and use the shutter release to fire a shot.
Looking through the lens, you should see the shutter open and close. If the shutter stops working after using your camera a lot, then simply change the batteries. You should check the shutter every time you remove a roll of film, just to be on the safe side.
