UPDATE: Well, I just took apart my XE-7 again, and noticed that one of the solder joints on the Rp resistor (the little resistor towards the back of the pentaprism) didn't look so good. So I re-soldered it, and the meter pointer flew to the top!

After some re-calibration against a known good camera (my X-700; no fancy calibration tools here!), the meter is pretty close to being good as new!

The only thing now is the fact that when set to "Auto", the camera fires roughly 3/4 stop faster than what's indicated by the meter needle. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Teraforce88
