oly xa light meter indicator

[dukovac]

Hallo to all,

My otherwise perfectly functioning oly xa shows too long exposures in the viewfinder (but exposures perfectly). The indicator neede is moving, but it allways shows 2-3 stops too long exposure. I changed the batteries and i got about 1/4 to 1/2 stop better showing, but still far from the true. Has anybody experiences with it? How complicated is it to repair. I found the repair manual on the net, but I'm not sure if I want to try it...

Thanx for any help

The XA has two separate meters - one for the viewfinder and another to control exposure. Go figure. My VF meter is off as well. I'm not fussed as I know what its off by and compensate mentally if worrying about camera shake. As with yours, mine exposes fine.
