I recently picked up another XG-7 for a really good price (free!) and after cleaning it up it seemed to work perfectly. Since it looked like it had never had an autowinder attached, I decided to test it with one of my winders. It seemed to work at first, but then I noticed that the shutter speed never changed even under different lighting conditions. Removing the back revealed that the shutter curtains were never opening. They were apparently both being tripped at the same time and travelling closed. I can turn the winder off and wind manually and the shutter works fine. My other Winder G has the same effect. Both winders work perfectly on both my X-700's and my first XG-7, so it's definitely the camera. What I can't figure out is how the winder is affecting the shutter on this body. There are only 2 connections, ground and a single pin near the tripod socket. The winder and body seem to be communicating, it winds when it's supposed to and the red LED doesn't stay on. Any ideas?
