In some ways I miss the full manual cameras they were quicker to set just twist the Dials and that was it..
But After 4 resets and finding a small bit of plastic about 3mm x 1mm x 0.5mm in the body sitting on top of the Light meter censor in the bottom of camera all is looking rosy with the Metering system.
Test Shots on Auto after the several resets and removal of foreign object.
Thanking all for you assistance.
You just never know. Good think you found the foreign object. Intermittent issue can drive you crazy.
I had a dualsport motorcycle once that would randomly shut off while riding. Then as soon as you would stop, it would start up an go for another 2 - 3 days before it would do it again. Was making me nuts. Turns out where the tool box and owners manual were stored was right by the intake. The manual was in a plastic bag and the bouncing around caused it to occasionaly get sucked over the intake, choking the engine.
Anyway, glad you solved it. Happy shooting!
