Can the camera controls like zoom be tested without placing film in it? I have a 3.0 ad 4.0 and while the camera turns on, the zoom buttons on both are unreactive. So I am doubting whether it requires film to be loaded.
Hello, the zoom should work when the camera is on. But please ensure that you’ve got the battery installed. The display will function without the main battery installed, which may make an impression as if the camera has power (this is because a small internal battery powers the screen).
Thank you. Yes, new 2CR5 battery was placed im both cams yet zoom buttons don’t work. I guess I will bit my lip and place a roll of film and test it myself if it then works. Will update the result here.
