Databack MF-26 (F90x) is flashing.... why?!

Hi!

 

Since I have replaced the 2 batteries in the MF-26 Databack, the

display started flashing... no matter whether the camera is switched

on or off, and no matter whether I've got an AI or an AF lens mounted

to the system....

 

Also, when focusing with my 50mm AI-S, the F90x does not indicate the

focus in the viewfinder anymore (the small arrows with a circle in

the middle, down in the bottom left corner of the F90x viewfinder).

 

How can I solve that problem?

 

Thank you!

Björn

Bjoern,

 

If I remember correctly, the MF-26 display flashes to indicate a low battery condition.

 

Try cleaning batteries and the contacts in the battery compartment. The contacts and/or the batteries may be dirty. You may also want to try another set of batteries, the ones you just installed COULD be bad. You may also want to check the contacts between the body ad the MF-26.

 

About the focus indicator, have you tried a fresh set of batteries in the F90x? Does it work with another AI/AIS lens, or with an AF lens?

 

I hope this helps.
