SOURCE: Minolta Maxxum 400si is locked up

link to your manual, it tells us that we have a winding motor problem, I would do as you have done, so I would ensure that batterys are in great shape, the only other thing I could suggest is to try to turn the winding motor by hand in case it is just locked up. Failing that I presume the motor has died and needs replacement.

You are probably on the right track with the batteries. Stick some fresh ones in and the shutter should release. Your may need to use the advance lever to re-**** the shutter and drop the mirror down. You could also try removing the lens and manually pushing the mirror down to see if it stays in the down position.

Is it a possible transmission problem?
Does the car start out in 1st gear?

Try and feel or hear if the RPM increases when you get the power back as it jerks.

hi dustin

this camera isn't particullairy fast the only thing your sister inlaw needs is a fast sd card, like sandisc ultra II and even then i gues it still won't win the race.

important with this camera and many others is that she eiter takes pictures in the sport mode and firts perss the shuuter half way aim the camera at the subject and press the shutter..

I hav fuji a330 and it stops as soon as i clik

My sister & I bought this same camera for our mom & she has had this same problem from the very 1st day.... I've researched it, and the onlysolution I've found is to purchase a 3V DC Charger for the camera. This will bypass the battery issue all together. I hope this helps.
