I have two R4's and I cannot seem to locate any such socket on them. Was this reference in error? Is this feature on the R4? I see one little hole under the lens mount flange that has a little brass colored thing it it. If I depress that brass colored thing, all that happens is that the shutter will not fire. I assume that it has something to do with a motor winder/drive, which I do not have. I Emailed the author and got no reply. <<< Aram, You're right, the R4 does not have the mirror pre-fire feature. I'm not sure about the R5 and R-E but it is on the R6 R6.2 and R7. The little brass-colored thing is, as you suspect, one of the motor/winder fittings.
