(Note: IQ160 is M-mount with appropriate M adaptor plate)
I have a small problem with functionality that seems to be attributed to the camera.
Ever so often (too often for my liking) orange light is visible in viewfinder and there is a beeping sound with no shutter trigger. From what I understand in the manual it is indication of cocking lever has not been turned fully. The lever seems to be operating fine without back attached.
Additionally, ever so often lever refuses to be cocked and is stuck solid. I couldn't find any information on this, but it seems to be due to battery running out of power. Though even when batteries are replaced (I use 4x 1.4 CR44 as the silver halide one is far too expensive) the issue manifests on occasion. The only way to clear it is to set ring at the trigger base to red and switch of digital back, test and then repeat....
With the issues in mind, I was hoping to find a service centre in Japan that could service the RZ67 itself, since I don't believe there is an issue with the IQ160. I also have examined mounting plate and have not found any mechanical damage or abnormalities.
Could you possibly advise?
PS Could the issue possibly be attributed to a slower CF? Seems that the issue began around me reverting to Sandisk Extreme (60Mb/s) - back takes much longer to read it on each startup.
