Hi. I have a problem with the Auto exposure on my Canonet. The aperture stops down one stop more than it shows in viewfinder.

The viewfinder readings are just about right (compared to 2 other SLRs). But when the reading is for example f4 and I release the shutter and then I slowly stop down aperture manually - the blades start to move only at f5.6.

It simply stops down more than it should. Is there a way to adjust this? Somewhere I read (I don't remember where) that on some other compact rangefinders it is possible - is it also on Canonet?

The easiest solution is to use manual exposure, but sometimes it's faster to use auto...
