Is there a way to adjust the meter needle travel
on the Oly Trip 35? The meter and auto aperture
features are working but, when the light is too low,
the needle doesn't move all the way to the left as
it should. It's short by about a 1/8 inch. Since
it doesn't move all the way, the red flag doesn't
pop up under low light and the shutter release block
doesn't happen as it should.
If I block the light meter and manually push the needle
all the way to the left then the red flag and shutter
block works. I see nothing blocking the travel
of the needle.
Otherwise, the camera seems to operate properly.
Is there a way to adjust the needle travel so it
moves all the way to left under low light?

Hi Bob,
Have you tried the Trip-35 group at Flickr? Several people on there have repaired their own, so it's possible that one of them has dealt with the same problem.
Hope that helps,
