zbigniew_kacprzak1 Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Hi, had anyone problems with film rewinding in Dynax (Maxxum) 7? After the film is finished, the camera has problems with rewinding. I have to switch it off and on couple times and then finally it rewinds. Sometimes I have to shake it slightly, but it seems to be not the best way ;) Maybe someone faced already such a problem and knows the reason. I'm affraid I have to give it to the service isn't t?

julian sanchez Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 This may be too dumb of a suggestion and you've probably looked at it already, but just in case I'm going to go ahead and say it... The 7 is famous for swallowing batteries. After 30 rolls or so I have to change them even though the indicator says the batteries are full. I don't have problems rewinding film but I notice it in the autofocus, which becomes incredibly slow (specially with the bulky 28-70 G). I hope that's what it is.

michael_moon2 Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 7s are battery hogs, but mine always rewinds without fault. Too little battery juice will result in total lock down and a message, "Replace batteries". It won't do the sort of temperamental thingy you describe. For my money, this unit is defective and needs to be seen by the Mind's service center in NJ. Hope you bought it less than a year ago, or bought an extended warranty, and there's no impact damage.

michael_moon2 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Julian, you get 30 rolls? I get 20 with minimal flash use. Never before have I bought batteries in bulk! The only downside to the 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic1 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Buy the VC-7. It will pay for itself in a short time, just in battery savings. Besides it gives the 7 better balance and the vertical release is handy also. The only problem is that its hard to use one of the buttons like AEL and move the focus sensor when you are using the vertical grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderbergphotography Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 I have used 47 rolls with my first set of batteries for my Maxxum 7. It is better then my old 600 si on batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
