Help!!
My Minolta Dynax 5 has gone funny... but I might just be being completely silly.
I went to use it about a week ago, popped some slide film in, closed the back and had the whirry noise saying it acknowledged the film. Then I turned it on, and all that was showing up on the display was the ISO no (200) and the pic of the film with flashing 0 next to it. So I tried to change the settings, was moving the wheel around, and nothing!
I assumed it was dead batteries!? So bought fresh ones, but the problem still occurs. But, when I first put the batteries in, the camera makes the whirry turning on noise and displays all the other settings for just a couple of seconds but then goes away again (tried this with the camera both off and on!)
So I thought.. the contacts must be buggered! But they look fine, and I'm always so delicate with my camera.. and the camera acknowledges the batteries at first so can that really be the problem?
Am I missing something HUGELY obvious?
Hopefully someone can sort me out! Lol
