Hmmm... this camera does have one mechanical setting: 1/90th second, works without batteries. Does that change the equation? It also works in Bulb without batteries.

Subject: OT: leaving old Copal electronic shutter cocked: Allowed?
My new-to-me Rikoh XR-2 has a vertical Copal CSS-E electronically controlled shutter.
Will leaving this cocked weaken anything? I downloaded the manual from butkus.org, and no mention of any problem leaving the camera cocked. It does not even have a "shutter cocked" indicator.
I understand from others that this is the same shutter used in the Nikon FM.
It shouldn't, since the shutter is electronic. It may be the same shutter as the FE, the FM was a mechanical shutter.
