shutter speed dial loosening up

[dfoo]

I've been shooting like crazy for the past 3 weeks, and the shutter speed dial on my M4-p has started to loosen up. When I first got the camera, it was very tight. Now it turns very easily, so much so that I'm having to check it to make sure I don't accidently change it. How can I tighten it back up?

dfoo,
looks to me like you take the shutter speed dial off and underneath is a circular kind of screw with 2 cutouts. maybe make a special wrench and while stopping the dial movent, tighten this up

Had the same problem with one of my M4-P cameras (after a "CLA" involving to much oil ...), where the excessive oil had found its way to the screw below the shutter dial. Just tighten that screw slightly and it should work fine again.

How do you take the shutter dial off? Remove the very small screw that is in the dial itself?

yep just unscrew that and lift off the dial

Ok, just repaired it. Super simple. Take out the small screw, lift off the dial, and tighten the big screw underneath.
