ISO wheel on S3 limited

How to move the dear thing? It won’t budge.

If that is a millenium edition - that is the one I have - then mine can be changed with the plate open and 'pushing' the dial from the inside, if that makes sense.

I love this camera to bits.

I just bought it but it feels super solid. Do you know if Nikon still services it?

Yes - push on it while you turn - it's spring-loaded

I don't know I'm afraid; there are other repair options though, depending on your location.

Changing the ISO dial I think is done normally by pushing the dial from the inside - i.e. I don't think this is abnormal/broken.

The idea is that you remember to change the film speed while you load film, and that you cannot accidentally change it afterwards. It makes sense as a system design concept, place of change = place of check versus place of use (where you cannot change a parameter).

@piero2025 Congrats on your acquisition btw, I am sure you will get a lot of great pictures using it.

The rangefinder patch on mine is a bit vague compared to Leica bodies I've owned but other than that, I prefer it to M bodies. (the 50/1.4 is also exceptional).

Have fun!

I meant repairs in general (you can see my expensive adventures with the ikon ZM in other posts) although it seems that focus patch adjustment is rare with this camera

Thank you!

I am working on a 3d printed diopter/finder holder combo now (the 28mm is a must for me)
