craig_h1 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I have a few questions. 1st I can bearly see the shutter speeds in the viewfinder. I can sort of see a needle move. Nothing works on auto. The mirror locks up. Also what is the lever? right under the shutter speed dial. Sometimes when I press the meter activator, I see a red led light. Thank you for your answers.

Brian Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I have a few questions as well. Did you just buy this camera? Was it sold as working, or just "as is"? Have you thought about getting an instruction manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_h1 Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Mine was sold as working. I can get the regular shutter speeds to work. I do prefer it that way but it would be nice to learn how to use the complete camera. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_moon2 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I bought mine "as is". The shutter speed dial was disengaged, it just span around, refusing to engage the speed detents ... and the seller, a well-known long-established camera store, had no idea how to fix it. So I went on line, googled it, downloaded the manual, figured out the quick "fix", and bought a functionally perffect XK for $45. Sounds to me as if you've encountered some of this model's idiosyncrasies, just as I did. Get the manual and I expect you'll get your XK up and running.
