    Excellent video, it clears a lot of stuff up in regards to working with this camera. One question: what oils and greases to do you use and why do you use them in that particular situation? Or any oil at all? In one you use the small bottle with some oil (which one?) and later you use "graphite grease" which seems much thicker and you apply using the back of a Q tip.

      I got it. If anybody gets in the same pickle, whip the top cover back off and remove the screw that holds in the rewind side strap mount, then remove the mount. A flat head can fit in the hole you just made and jimmy the latch.

    Hi again - something super important to note is that the 1/30 and 1/15 speeds will appear to be too slow when the case of the camera is not reattached. I was very confused about this until I saw someone's forum post mentioning it. I think it's a big omission from the video!

  • @Invincibleagent

    • @m.l.703
      @m.l.703 7 днів тому

      @Mosesybanez ich beantworte es mal auf deutsch,weil es für mich einfacher zu erklären ist. Dein Problem klingt nach korrodierten Kabeln ,oder gelösten Kabeln. Es kann aber auch sein,dass das „Pad of death“ ausgetauscht werden muss,denn dieses kann auch zu diesem Problem führen. Du kannst sehr einfach das top-Cover entfernen und schauen,ob dort Kabel ohne Kontakte zu sehen sind. Des Weiteren würde ich das Batteriefach überprüfen,ob dort Korrosion vorhanden ist und diese,wenn möglich,beseitigen. Ich schätze,dass es ein gelöstes,oder korrodiertes Kabel ist,welches zum Belichtungsmesser führt. Beste Grüße

Have tried several reset user settings, taken out battery, changed battery and pored over manual, but no display whatsoever. Is it possible that the socket flex cable doesn't fit properly? where is the viewfinder socket located. Any ideas? Much appreciated.
