Hi Matt,

Well I picked up the developed films and there are 36 and 37 shots respectively. Exactly what you were suggesting , it keeps taking shots until the film runs out.

I guess I just got so carried away I couldn't remember taking all those shots!

Thanks very much for your help.

Nick.

Hi Etienne,

Thanks very much for your reply.

I have checked and double checked the setting for multiple shots and i was fairly sure that this wasn't the problem although your post has got me thinking!

I'ved put the films in to be developed so I guess i'll know when I pick them up later today.

Thanks again for your help.

Nick.

Hi All,

Just wondered if a beginner can get some help. I've been reading the forums with interest for about two weeks now and have quickly found it to be of great help.

I have been given a second hand MZ-50 which i'm really enjoying learning how to use.

The problem is that the display that tells me how many photos i've taken, appears to be wrong. It starts off ok but as I get further into the film, it seems to skip maybe by two or three shots instead of just moving on by one. This is really annoying as it gets to 36 and then rewinds the film when I know that I haven't taken that many (and I am using 36 exposure film). I know i've loaded the film properly as i've carefully followed the instruction manual.

Has anyone come across this problem or have any ideas why it may be happening ?

Regards,
Nick.
