Need more information on camera settings. I have has no issues at all and there were no firmware updates to lens to add variable except camera.

I haven't had this for some time as I switched to Nikon, but the lock should enable you to keep the shutter open for extended periods such as the old manual ones which had a screw lock you could use when you set the camera on bulb and shot star trails. Haven't done this since I was a boy. This one being electronic might work differently. Sorry I can't be more specific. I imagine you could Google it and find whatever information you need.

I had the same problem so I called Bell and Howell and reached a tech person who said the door is very tight to keep water out. To open, hold the camera bottom facing up, in your left hand with your left thumb over the upside down letters "CEPC' and next to the release lever. With your right hand slide the small release lever down and at the same time using a lot of force press down hard with your left thumb and sliding the battery door to the left. It's not easy and may take you several attempts before you are successful.

There is a lock/button on the side of the barrel. Don't push or press in this button. Instead, push it along the barrel, i.e. the direction along the lens.

i had the same problem it's a little push lever just push it towards the camera and it will come off.

I truly don't know, that's a shame. Have you tried tricking it by turning it on WITH the lens cover still on, like it's saying, and then removing it to see if the message goes away? Then see if it functions normally after that. Other than that, I have no ideas or suggestions, sorry. I haven't had this problem. I'm sure a local camera shop could help you troubleshoot, possibly even for free if it doesn't require a repair. :)

Thankyou! I haven't used my camera in several months because of this same problem. I followed your suggestions. It took a few tries, but it is now working!! Just in time for Christmas!

It depends on the camera. I am using a 7D and I don't think it trips it as a shutter release. I have a dedicated wireless release for those needs.

I have an A99 but I think the menu is similar. You have to go to menu, settings (looks like a spoked wheel), 1, and you should have an option that says "release w/o lens". You need to enable this option which allows the shutter to be fired without a supported lens attached. Hope this helps. Rob

I think I solved the problem by moving the camera lens away from being over the sensor. I found that I had this issue when the lens was over the sensor but not if I adjusted it. Not sure if this helps anyone else.

Yeah I know....I hate that too. That's a real problem. You can try leaving the door open, a trick I used to use with my camcorder, but I bet the mzm200 is too "smart" for that. Have you tried leaving it in pause mode? Check the manual and give Sony a call and see if they have a solution.

Hold the button down and it will lock in place. Release lock by repressing button

These may seem obvious but first check to make sure you have the right key for the lock and then make sure the key is all the way into the lock. It is a Master Lock and my code starts with a P. Then turn it 1/4 turn clockwise. It may take a little force to turn it. If that doesn't work, try releasing some of the tension on the cable by lifting the camera up some. If all else fails, get out the bolt cutters and cut the cable and return it as defective. Good Luck

Have you tried shooting with Manual focus? (will the button release the shutter at all?) If the shutter still wont release i'd contact the seller.

According to the manual, you can use cable shutter release. This item is also sold on the Panasonic website (DMW-RSL1E), on B&H;, and on Amazon. So once again the "Panasonic Team" failed to deliver. (Great cameras, hopeless customer support.)

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!
