HI
I HAVE GOT A CHINON CE-4 BUT THE SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON WILL NOT DEPRESS TO FIRE THE SHUTTER. THE SHUTTER WILL FIRE OK USING A CABLE RELEASE. CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO REMOVE THE SHUTTER BUTTON AND SHUTTER SPEED SELECTOR TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.I CANT SEEM TO SEE A "WAY IN "
HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM OR ANY ADVICE TO OFFER

THANKS
STEVE

Hi, Steve.
Some of the Chinons used a collar type shutter button lock...yours may have one. Rotate it 90 degrees opposite where it currently is and see if that solves your problem.

I'm having exactly the same problem and unfortunately it doesn't have the collar type lock. As far as I know, the only shutter button lock is when the shutter speed selector is set to 'off'.

Any tips?

Thanks,
Law.

I'm not sure if mine has the collar type shutter button lock, and I'm still a beginner with these cameras, but I've had my CE-4 for just over a month now and the past couple weeks it has been acting up. I didn't know what was wrong at first, but gently rotating the shutter button seemed to work, so maybe that's all you have to do.
