Hi everyone
Does anyone have knowledge of the Oly XA2
I have one bought as not functional.
This is a synopsis of the fault(s)
Battery test OK Red LED lights
Self timer functions & Red LED light flashes
Flash setting switch set away from Flash ( the arrow pointing to
flash shows) This switch seems not to want to move towards the blue FLASH
lettering with the force I'm willing to use (do they stick?)
Opening clamshell shows a lit green LED at bottom right hand of
finder image
It looks as if a rectangular signal is out in front of the finder
lightning bolt on the left hand side of viewfinder
Shutter fires - sounds like 2 seconds, looks like diaphragm fully
open
Film counter not advancing
The "shutter" over CdS(?) cell can be seen to open & shut with
operation of ASA film speed setting lever
NOW
if I open the back & repeat the above ie open the clam shell fully,
the same thing happens (2 seconds wide open aperture)
BUT if I open the back & leave the clam shell closed, the shutter
fires apparently normally
I can open the clam shell to any point before the green LED lights
& still the shutter seems to fire normally
It isn't obvious the shutter programme changes when adjusting from
25 to 800 ASA
Any advice/clues/repair info??
Thanks in advance for any advice
Regards Frank
