I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem on my ae-1 program, once the lever was wound the shutter would automatically release. I opened the bottom of my camera to sort the magnet out and did so but now when I wind on my film frame the image won't fire unless I manually open the bottom and flick a little lever inside. Any information that could help would be much appreciated.
