thanks for the reply sir. Indeed: it sounds like it's taking photo's. but after it does that, the frame count (and you also can hear that) goes from 0-30 in just four or five shots. I found out that the shutter does move, so that thing might refer to the shutter mode. When I hold my hand in front of those little sensors ( the things that say 'the back is closed you can take photo's now') the winder is still not working. the camera functions perfectly (lights and battery and stuff) but it keeps making 6/7 images every time.
