I mean, when you use the body and motor drive by itself, does the camera
shoot more than one frame when set to single mode? Does the multiple
firing with the T-45 and motor drive happen on more than one body? As
Chuck said, the button on the T-45 is just a switch. If the motor is set
to single, and it fires more than one frame, it usually indicates a
defect in nicad pack or md switch in the camera body.
