First let me apologise for a question about an electronic camera, but it is a mechanical problem. The wind on lever works but it's very loose. It feels as if I need to remove it and tighten something underneath. The problem is the lever just seems to be a single piece of plastic with no obvious way of taking it off. Does anyone know if the circular top of the lever either just prises off say with a thin blade,or does it screw off, and if so is it a left hand thread?
Thanks in anticipation.

A thousand apologies! I've worked it out. The plastic part is just a cover, there are two screws underneath which attach it to the metal lever proper (which has been duly tightened up). Other cameras I've worked on are differenly assembled.

Thanks for looking anyway. John S
