The film crank is wound. The shutter curtain is in the cocked position. But none of the 4 methods of triggering it (shutter button, electronic cable release, manual cable release, self time) works. The self timer flashes like it's going to trip the shutter, but doesn't. Batteries are fine. Any ideas how to get the shutter to fire? Thanks in advance. August
