I have a similar problem with my M6 Classic - and am wondering what is
going on. In my case, I push down on the shutter release and instead of
engaging the metering (when the little red lights are supposed to go on)
they either flicker or don't show at all. I changed to fresh batteries
but found it didn't help. It feels like the shutter release just bypasses
whatever it is that turns the exposure meter lights on and goes all the
way down and trips the shutter.
After I removed the film, I did a dry run (no film) maybe twenty times
and at different shutter speeds and found that it was working as it should.
Anyone have an idea of the problem or what is causing it?
Thanks,
Ted
Dirty contacts on the shutter release mechanism. The camera top has to come
off in order to clean them. Many times just working the release, up and
down, will temporarily clean them, but the problem will be back. Time for a
CLA.
