[LRflex] Re: motor R >3 - instruction manual- advice RQD

Philippe,

Rewinding is manual. But you can free the the film advance sprocket without 
having to separate the winder from the camera body. For this you just have 
to depress the chromium-plated knob located in the center of the "one dot / 
two dots" lever.
Concerning the battery pack, you can electrically disconnect it from the 
winder, simply by giving a light push on the front lever marked "MOTOR 
WINDER R".The battery holder will pull back just enough to ensure an 
electrical disconnection, whille remaining mechanically attached to the 
winder.I always do that as a precaution, before storing the camera with 
winder attached.
One more hint : the winder's battery pack will ensure power supply to all 
camera functions, so even if the two EPX76 (or so) batteries are not 
installed, everything will work !
BTW, the 5-pole contact at the back of the winder is for remote control.The 
mating (male) connector is of BINDER manufacture.
Good luck with your R4, but everything is in the Leitz lenses, on top of 
your photographic talent of course...
Meilleures amitiés, Etienne

Thanks Etienne,
that was fast!

The Drive does beep on the two dots position, thanks for the
tip.

Do you happen to know if, and how, it rewinds ? I first thought
this bottom plate lever was the one to move to do the trick. Is
it automatic? I wouldn't like to ruin my R4 though
misappropriate manipulations.

You're right about the R3 - it is much simpler. But the R3 has an
on-off lever, which to my mind is more convenient.
Do you have to remove the battery pack every time you're not
using the camera? Doesn't sound very Leica, does it?
Or is there a trick or a hidden switch?

I just shot my first picture with it, seems to be in working
order.
Thanks again
