I have the same camera & the same problem. My main suspicion is that I'm using the wrong type of batteries. You do know that the ST701 originally requires MR400 mercury batteries right? Well, as far as I know, there's no silver oxide or zinc air replacement for the MR400 EXCEPT the Weincell, which I haven't bought yet. So I don't know if they'll work or not. I tested my ST701 with Maxell SR936SW batteries (silver oxide, used it in my Spotmatic SP500 with no problem, and the SP500 requires the same MR400 batteries originally,so I thought they'll work, but guess what..I was wrong)..and the meter on my ST701 just spiked all the way to overexposure on just sits halfway down the middle mark..in all lighting conditions. What battery did you use to test yours? I guess we'll never know for sure until we get the Weincell. |
