1)When I rotate the winding lever to the end, it cocks the shutter. Once removing my thumb, winding lever return back and immediately the winding mechanism triggers the shutter. I need to press the shutter button to release the winder lock before I can rotate the winding lever again. I believe there is a screw to be adjusted so that the winding mechanism and shutter release work properly. I attach the photo of the winding lever and someone please show me which screw needs to be adjusted.

I have encountered this problem with other cameras and it usually indicates that the shutter cannot be fully cocked, i.e. the levers/gear racks cannot fully travel their ways, because they are bent or warped when someone used brutal force to make a camera "work". I strongly suspect the cocking gear under the bottom cover or - which is a bit more problematic - the turning pivot that cocks the shutter cannot rotate enough, so the shutter fires before it snaps to its ready-to-be-released position.
Your problem may result from a shutter that needs cleaning even if it looks fine. |

In a similiar case I had everything was fine after a good shutter cleaning. I did not expect it but I saw that the shutter had to be cleaned anyway and I knew how to do it and I did not know how to fix the the imediate firing. So I cleaned the shutter at first and ... voila. |
