The center post is nylon. I breaks off rather easily so be careful!

Subject: Re: [OM] Still need Help: Odd behavior from MD1
| My original post:
| :I installed NiMH batteries in an old 15V Control Pack and everything
worked
| :fine after I got it back together. Now, however, when I put the Control
Pack
| :on an MD1 and turn it on, either in single of continuous mode, it starts
| :shooting continuously.
|
| The reply from hmz:
| "This probably means that the tuning ('re-timing'), as explained in the
repair
| FAQ, isn't done properly or that the centre post which is used for this
tuning
| wasn't tightened enough and has come loose."
|
| I already checked the 'timing' and the center post (if I understand you
| correctly) is tight. What is so odd is that I don't even have the press
the
| shutter release on the MD1. It just starts shooting as soon as I turn the
| Control Pack to either single or sequence mode.
