Troubleshooting and error codes

When the shutter will not function:
① Is the power on/off lever set to the ON position?
② Has the film been completely advanced to the next frame? Have all the exposures already been made (12 with 120, 24 with 220)?
③ Has the film advance lever been wound until it stops?
④ Is the lens mount retracted?
⑤ Is the light shield curtain closed? (In the case of examples ⑤, the red LED will flash a warning on the upper right side of the viewfinder.)
When the lens cannot be removed:
① Is the light shield curtain open?
② Is the lens mount retracted or stored in the body?
