RZ67 pro 2. Shutter help.

hey everyone,
I recently invested in a rz67 pro 2, but wanted to troubleshoot here with an issue i'm having. The shutter fires in the 'manual mode' , as well as in multiple exposure mode. But in the regular setting of the white dot...it doesn't. In the viewfinder the orange light comes on indicating something with the winder....theres a new battery in the camera, and like i said the shutter fires on other settings. Anyone know what's going on? Does film need to be in the camera for it to recognize the winder perhaps? Just hoping i didnt cop a dodgy camera !!

any help appreciated. cheers.

Try pushing the advance lever way down where you normally go, to the very limit it can move to. Do it gently but firmly. Sometimes the detection of film advance fails and seems to be at the end of the advance lever travel.

alas, that hasn't worked either. It sort of pushes back at a certain point

That is the correct behaviour, I wanted you to go to that "certain point".
