In Reply to: Minolta Maxxum 7000 underexposed pictures posted by pam on April 23, 2000 at 22:57:12:
: My 13 yr old minolta maxxum 7000, which I have never had a problem with,has recently begun to give me underexposed pictures. The local camera shop states they can't see what is wrong and want to send it to Minolta and estimates $100 repair bill. As finances are a problem, could it be something simple that I could do or readjust or that could be done locally? In the manual that came with it, it talks of a 10 yr battery in the camera. Since the camera is 13 yrs, could that be it?
As I understand it, the battery in the camera is for holding information like ASA setting in memory when the other batteries die. Whether or not that helps I don't know. I also have a 7000, purchased in 1985 but haven't experienced the problem you have, yet. If you find out the problem and a solution could you post in on the Ace forum? Many thanks.
