Mainly works fine, but an intermittent fault occurs. I sometimes get a run (maybe 2 or 3 exposures, or maybe an isolated one)of exposures which are totally wrong. This shows on SLIDES as coming out as nearly clear cellophane (is this over- or underexposure??), though prints do not seem to be affected. Mechanically everything seems OK. The automatic shutter speed system seems to work and most pictures come out fine. The red speed indicator dots all show up and work properly according to light conditions. Is this some deep-seated electronic fault? I've cleaned the lens to body terminals and the battery terminals, but to no effect.The fault is there on both automatic and manual. Any ideas, please, because this is family heirloom.
