AE-1 Exposure Meter Problem

My AE-1 consistently shows a flashing red LED and an exposure meter needle that swings all the way to the bottom. The battery checks ok. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Could be one of two possibilities. You may have the lens set off the

"A"utomatic setting, ie, set at a numbered aperture. If this is

the case, the red "M" will be lit. Hold the little button on the

aperture ring in while turning the ring to the lowest number and then

all the way back to "A."

You may need to select another shutter speed to bring the needle back

up into the scale, based on the film speed and lighting condition. If

the "+" led is lit, use a faster shutter speed; if the "-" is lit use

a slower speed.
