I am not familiar with this particular meter so I do not know if it has a battery check or not. However, I have had a problem of over exposure due to batteries which were just on the verge of showing "no good" and giving an overexposure of about two stops. If you have seen the curve of how these batteries lose their voltage, you will note that there is a short perior of time where the curve starts down but may still have enough power to operate the meter. This was what happened to me as I lost a whole roll of slide film. Therefore, if you have not done so, check the batteries using a checker which will put a load on the batteries. If that proves negative, then I would suggest that you satisfy yourself that all contact surfaces are clean. An unseen and insidious film can build up and give you fits until those contacts are well cleaned. |
