I am having some serious problems with my A1. I cannot take any pictures with it anymore. When I take a picture and wind to the next, the winder gets stuck. I have no idea what it gets stuck on, but I practically have to force it to get to the next frame. I've stopped this after the first couple of times it did it as I imagine this is very bad for the camera. Also, the unwind mechanism will not work. Hitting the button and attempting to unwind it will not do anything. I cannot pinpoint why it is doing this. Nothing appears to be stuck in it.
Sometimes pictures will not take and I will need to hit the button a bunch of times until it will. The exposure display will dim and go entirely dark and it will make a very strange noise that I can hear inside the case. Sometimes the display will say something like BULB or some other random thing when I try to shoot. After I press the button a bunch of times, it will go.
What do you think is wrong? Is there any way to get this repaired? Is it at the end of its life? I'd hope not, because it's a great, great camera and I'd hate to see it go. |
