Hi, folks! My XD-7 always fires at 1/1000 (or 1/500), at any speed setting. The mechanical O-speed works fine, of course, everything else works normally. The problem can be temporarily solved by RUBBING THE BATTERY - then all speeds start working again. However, I think the trouble generally intensifies as time passes, as even rubbing doesn't seem to help much any more. I brought the camera to a friend of mine who has professionally fixed classic cameras his whole life. He was eager to help me, tried with different batteries, opened the whole camera, cleaned everything, looked after the condensers, changed one condenser - but couldn't solve the problem in the end. The camera has been used with great care. It is in a A+ condition. No scratch on it, new batteries, etc. I have used it regularly past the last year. Do you know, or think to know, where the problem could be? |
