I received a Nikon FE2 - my first real camera - for Christmas this year. I've noticed that sometimes the meter just refuses to move no matter what I do, and I don't know what to do when that happens. Can it be fixed? Does it need to be fixed? Help please! |

The FE2 does not give any meter readings until you wind to frame 1. So, make sure the film counter is at or past the 1 mark.
Make sure you have a fresh battery and the battery contacts are clean. Try different ASA settings and see if there is a difference. A common problem on the FE2 is dirty electrical contacts. There are several of them under the top cover. Any camera repair shop can do a cleaning of those without much trouble. Its not a good first camera repair project, so I wouldn't suggest doing it yourself unless you have some experience.
The FE2 is definitely worth getting fixed. I use mine all the time and like it very much. |
