Shutter has only one speed (about 125th sec) reguardless of dial setting.
Googled for this and no results. Any ideas? Thanks for any replies. Warren

I have a similar problem with my XG-1's shutter speed setting. Sometimes it
won't go into automatic shutter speed mode unless you turn the knob back and
forth through the mode a few times. I suspect it's either a bad shutter
speed switch mechanism or dirty contacts within it. You might turn the
shutter speed dial quite a few times through all of the settings to see if
better contact can be made.

If you have this camera, you certainly need help.
