I cannot get the shutter to assemble corrrectly, would love a picture or more detailed directions. Many have sid they have figured it out, but How ?

Hi! I'll look at mine again. I think the previous answer was right, I think I remember directions being in the wrong order. Sometimes, I don't know if this is helpful or not, the spring is the key to making it work right. If the spring isn't installed correctly it won't hold open or shut what it needs to. What is the exact problem you're having? Shutter won't close or open?

First off I did a search on the internet and found that two instructions were backward. I scanned the instructions and then looked at them zoom up on the computer. I went back and rechecked. My problem is advancing the film. What I discovered is that some kits are near perfect others are near trash. They are modeled like model cars etc so quality control is lacking. I also built lomography's DYI. I could not get it to take pictures. I sent it to New York and they examined it and sent me a new kit. I am currently painting it with model spray paint and will be building it. Again enlarge the instructions and do it slow. Oh the plastic on the Fotodiox can warp due to heat and due to storage it may not be light tight. Black electrical tape around the edges will fix that. Good luck. PS: go real slow if you take it apart to re-assimilable it!

Have you tried the manufacture of the camera? They were very responsive to a problem I have of my first camera. I think they can help you with replacement parts.

Hi, sorry to hear that, i have no idea if fixing is needed, but have you checked if it is locked? there is a wheel you can can turn near the shutter relese that might be set to lock and thus you can't use it.hope this is the only issue and that this will solve your problem.

We had the same problem and after hours of trying to figure it out, We finally did. Simply push and the center button in. The one you use to steer the camera.

Thank you for replying. I am having a photographer look at the camera today. Maybe he can point me in the right direction. I just havent been happy at all with the photos.

There are two allen wrench screws in the plastic you need to loosen. They are very tiny. I wound up just very carefully tilting the camera by grabbing it and slowly working it down. ( I didn't have aa small enough allen wrench!) Just turn it slow and it should move.

The top unscrews from the base. Then mount the base making sure the wire is run the way you need it to go. Put camera ball back in and screw top back on. Adjust view and the finish tighting the top. Took me a while to figure it out too.

Not sure if I can help you. I have no such issues with my camera. Did you order the item used? It sounds like it is not functioning correctly.

I don't know.. You should make a YouTube video asking the photog community on their to help you. I'm sure you'll get someone who knows what's the problem. I'm not their to see what's going on so its hard to assist you with out me seeing what your doing.

Check your owners manual for the specific shutter setting for remote. After you get the right setting, you may have to try different angles for pointing the remote at the "sweet spot" on the camera.

I wish I could answer that AlanM. I installed it however I was replacing an existing camera so everything was already in place. If you haven't already maybe contact the seller to see if they can help.

I think mine came with a few pictures, the peolpe who sold it should send some instructions. Good luck

Hi Marc,Sorry, I have not even been able to use mine since it arrived broken, andfotodiox was unable to help me.But, have you tried extra lighting fromdifferent angles? This usually helps.

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.
