Minolta Auto Meter IV F Error

<p>I recently purchased a used Minolta Auto Meter IVF everything seemed to work OK, except after I removed the white diffuser dome, then reattached it all my readings get the flashing "E" and "u" signs, as if the meter wasn't able to read in low light. This isn't the case though, since nothing changes when I adjust the ISO and shutter settings or go into a brightly lit location. The meter seems to be stuck in this mode. I've tried to reset things by reattaching the diffuser several times, removing the battery and replacing it, pushing the dome activation pin in and out to make sure it wasn't stuck. Nothing works. Any thoughts on what's causing the problem?</p><div></div>

There's a little pin that gets pushed in when the

dome is attached. See if that happens. Also try a

new battery. Minolta Autometers are heavy on

batteries. I usually remove the battery in mine when

not in use.

Hi

,

Wondering if you somehow got around the issue.

I was about to use mine after a long time and I'm having the same issue.

etgalim, do you realize that that thread is over a year old?

Of course. But having not find any other place that discuss that issue, I thought I should give it a shot :)
