hi, hope that somebody can help. When I turn the shutter speed dial on my MX, the number displayed in the viewfinder is about two stops out. Nobody has messed around with the inside of the camera.
Please help,
Thanks.

This adjustment requires taking the top off the camera and repositioning the speed indicator dial. The indicator wheel is connected via a wire and pulley arrangement to the shutter speed control.
