Hello.
Just got a Yashica Electro 35 GS. Changed its light seals which were deteriorating. I checked its meter with my other SLR camera and it appears as though its meter is working reasonably well. I am using a PX28 battery (6V, battery indicator lights up brightly).
There is one little quirk I am not sure I understand. When I press the shutter release button and the scene is too bright, the red light comes on. But it turns on with only a slight press of the button. If I press the button further, the red light goes off. The yellow light, however, becomes active (under appropriate conditions) only when I press the button deeper than in the case of the red light. So, is the behavior of the red indicator light the normal behavior?
Another question that I have is regarding the B speed. If I press the shutter button in B mode and release it after some time, the shutter does not close immediately upon releasing the button. It takes some seconds for the shutter to close. What's up with this?
Thanks.
