Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
- Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
- To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
- To
**bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word - Embed images by entering:
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets. - * Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
- 1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
- > Quote text by starting lines with >
- Mention another user by @username
- For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block. - If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.

Longggg shot.
I just received a Konica Big Mini 302 this week after purchasing one from auction. It wasn't tested but I took a gamble as the condition looked good compared to most others online.
Ordered a CR123 battery and popped it in. Fired up fine, had no film in it but would allow me to take a shot, lens extended as it should, counter and rear panel worked as well as lights to indicate exposer and if the flash would fire. The flash didn't seem to fire but I wasn't sure if this was due to no film being loaded and if it was a busted flash I could probably live without it.
I switched it off.
When I went back and switched it back on it immediately smelt of burning and the low battery indicator flashed up. I'm assuming something blew due to excess power?? The battery I received looked like it had been partially opened and I wasn't sure if it could have been faulty and damaged the camera??
I haven't touched it since.
Gutted as it was intended as a gift for my wife's birthday as she's looking to get into film and I thought it would have been ideal.
Any advice, potentially but unlikely repair options greatly received.
Thanks.
