Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / December 2006shutter speed
i have a minolta maxxum 5000 and whenever i would look in my viewfinder to see the shutter speed, there is something blocking it. any ideas why? > i have a minolta maxxum 5000 and whenever i would look in my viewfinder > to see the shutter speed, there is something blocking it. any ideas why? big - HUH? What do you mean "...to see the shutter"? If you are looking in the viewfinder as you press the exposure button, the mirror inside the camera that shows you the image - that mirror flips up so as not to block the film and then the shutter opens so that light can expose the film - you'll never be able to see the shutter - unless you look into the lens as an exposure is made. > i have a minolta maxxum 5000 and whenever i would look in my viewfinder > to see the shutter speed, there is something blocking it. any ideas why? I have no idea exactly what you mean but is it possible that there is an electronic display of the exposure in the viewfinder and perhaps that is broken? >> i have a minolta maxxum 5000 and whenever i would look in my viewfinder >> to see the shutter speed, there is something blocking it. any ideas why? >> > I have no idea exactly what you mean but is it possible that there is an > electronic display of the exposure in the viewfinder and perhaps that is > broken?

See my second post of yesterday. Is there something IN FRONT of the display or is the display not working properly. > > i have a minolta maxxum 5000 and whenever i would look in my viewfinder > > to see the shutter speed, there is something blocking it. any ideas why? > what i meant was that when i look into the viewfinder to adjust my > shutter speed, there seems to be something blocking the number. how do > i fix it? Oh - hope it's still under warranty - there's something wrong with the internal display screen - need to take that in and get it fixed. how much will it cost? > > > i have a minolta maxxum 5000 and whenever i would look in my viewfinder > > > to see the shutter speed, there is something blocking it. any ideas why?

As I said: Have a look at http://www.mcvr.com/minmaxxum7000.htm > how much will it cost? sorry - didn't see the post - under warranty - probably nothing - if not under warranty and it is a known recurring issue with the model, they probably have a procedure for the fix that shouldn't cost much - other than that - dunno |
