Hi,
On 75% of indoor pics with flash, it seems my AE1's shutter only opens part way in that half of pic is black, rest is fine. All outdoor pics are fine. I assume there is a shutter problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David |

David,
Are you using a dedicated flash which would automatically set the shutter speed to the proper synch setting for flash photography? If not - is the camera set to its 'X' setting when you use flash?
If your camera is set for a speed faster than 'X' (on the AE-1 I believe the 'X' speed to be 1/60s), only a part of your picture will be exposed.
You might know all this, I thought I would start with the simplest solution first.
Good luck,
Jan |
