Pentax ME Super - Light Meter won’t turn off

ZJay · 03-24-2023, 05:47 PM

Hello! As title suggests, I noticed an issue early on when the batteries on my camera drained fairly quickly. Replaced them, light meter comes on, then I notice it stays on. How can I fix this?

Issue resolved! Apparently having the (broken) shutter timer moved at all made it stay on.
