Blackout switch

Post by StuartL »

My Pinz appears to have the blackout switch. There appears to be a mechanical key preventing the switch turning anti-clockwise. The key looks like it should push through to the other side to allow blackout selection but I can't see how to do so. The switch does push in a little and there is an interesting button in the middle of the switch that looks like it should release it.

Has anyone played with the blackout switch and figured out how it works and which position does what?

Thank you! I clearly didn't push it in far enough. I really should learn that on the Pinz it's ok to push it harder if it doesn't work first time...
