Just tested this with an empty SP. Film counter does advance when the camera is empty. The little window just below the advance lever doesn't move, but the shot number on the top plate does change.

Hi, I just got a used Super Program. With the back closed and no film, I took a few shots and wind the camera. The film counter did not advance. As a result, the shutter stays at 1/1000 second. I know the shutter stays at 1/1000 second until the counter reaches 1. Is it easy to fix the film counter problem? Please advise. Thanks.
Real easy - just put film in the camera.
(Seriously - that's all you need to do. The frame counter only advances when there's film in the camera).
