Hi-

I have a Vivitar 3800N (a rebadged Cosina camera) that overexposes by about 3 stops. I would like to adjust the meter myself, Couldn't find instructions on the web about adjusting it.

How hard is it the job? I have a set of tiny screwdrivers, small pliers, ect. and have learned how to not burn myself with a soldering iron. Will the lack of specialized tools be a problem?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Beaker
