oly xa light meter indicator
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.
