[QUOTE="doms, post: 612650, member: 43464"] Hi, a couple of month ago, during shooting, exposure meter suddenly spiked to 30s, saying "subject is too dark". The problem went away after turning the camera on and off. The same thing happened about a month later. I solved it by tapping the camera gently and re-inserting the battery. But in the last week, this happened 5 or 6 times - it happened again today and I'm stuck at 30s - now there's nothing I can do to make exposure metering work again. It can happen when the from the moment the camera is on or the during shooting, occurencies seem random. For example, exposure meter is stuck at 30s at iso 100 f1.8, then 15-20s at double iso or aperture etc., camera always says "Subject is too dark", exposure meter always shows underexposure. I usually use aperture priority, but If I switch to manual and set a good exposure (by trial and error, checking the histogram), the photo turns out fine. Any ideas? Thanks [/QUOTE]
