I have a Minolta XE-7 that's been having metering issues. When I first acquired the camera, the meter was erratic, but it eventually fixed itself. However, the meter decided to not read above 1/30 sec at iso 100, no matter how bright the scenery was. Waiting several minutes/fiddling with the battery compartment would fix the issue. I sent it off to Garry's Camera, but it appears that all he did was set the meter to read up to 1000 without actually fixing the problem. Sometimes it reads 4-5 stops too high at iso 100; other times it's practically stuck at 1/1000 sec. at ISO 100. Does anyone have any suggestions/hints on how to fix/adjust the meter? I did see several adjustment pots in the viewfinder housing, but I'm not sure what exactly they adjust. Thanks, Matt V. |
