I have a Nikon F3 w/ MD-4 motor drive, the rewind function doesn't work according to the instructions.  According to the instructions the MD-4 has a automatic rewind function, they read: "Depress the lock button on R1 and push the slide to the left. Then while holding R1 in position, push R2 up.  Immediately the film will start to rewind".  ​Mine doesn't do that, after pushing R1 and R2 sliders I have to press the "Trigger Button" on the MD-4 in order to initiate the rewind process.  After doing that the film will rewind, no problems.  My question is, did Nikon make a change in how the rewind function works and didn't bother to change the manual, or is there something wrong with this camera?  Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,
