Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2004 - 02:33 pm:        hello, i don't know if the xd7 can be discussed in this forum. a friend of mine gave me his old xd-7. the electronic works irregularly. if i switch it to 0 (mechanic shutter) it seems to work fine. somewhere i read that this could be a release capacitor problem. but where are the release capacitors (or 1 r.-capacitor??) in the bottom or the top? i replaced the 150uf caps in the bottom but this didn't change anything. if i press the release button 5 times it may work fine 4 times but the 5th time the shutter stays open for some second or more... can anybody help me with this problem? thanx joerg   Henry Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

I'd try cleaning the resistor tracks by cycling them a bunch before opening it up. Try that first Henry
