Hello
I have a new leaf afi 10 back connected to a hy6 sinar body( firmware 3.1 ).Everything seems to work except i cant trip the shutter.
I wonder if I missed something setting up the back? The back gives a message ready to shoot and when I press the shutter release it ( the camera) says back busy. Any thoughts??
Cheers JOHN

John,
In the back's Camera menu, check that the camera type is set to AFi and not to Large Format or something else.
Also I assume that you have a CF card in the back?

Hello Yair

one more thing, when I press the button the back fan wakes up - so its sensing the camera. i have tried it with just battery in camera and also with batteries in both. As I said everything seems to work fine except for the release.

Does the camera fire without the back on it?
-
Yes it does.Also the camera normally has a sinar 75 back attached - and it works fine.
Sorry to be a pest - it is 7pm here and my dealer is closed.

Problem solved!!
The instructions that came with the back say that you MUST first format the CF card on a computer - I did that ! - and it does NOT work.
My dealer suggested formating in camera instead - and it works ;D now all I need to do is figure out the software :P
