To John and all other respondents,
Thank-you so much! I am embarrassed that I missed this after owning the camera
for almost 10 years.
I had completely forgotten about the metering mode dial. With my aging eyesight
it's easy to miss that knob behind the exposure compensation selector and
without the manual I was stumped.
New problem: the locating of the meter mode knob begs the question now (since I
can't find my manual) what do the different exposure mode designations mean?
Once again thanks so much,
David

Hi David,
On my 6008i, the inverted ‘L’ comes on when the meter mode selection knob on
left hand side is fully anticlockwise to the letter ‘R’. I do not know off hand
what that ‘R’ stands for but I shall look it up later (although it might be to
reset the multi metering mode memory).
Just turn the knob to one of the other metering modes.
...If the battery is low the signal is ‘bc = a number’ if reasonably charged
‘bc=full’
...If slide is closed ‘ SLIde’ shows up.
Hope it works now.
John

Hi Chuck,
I have tried much sliding on two separate film backs-- so much so my wife wants
me in galoshes and mittens-- but no luck; I still can't get the shutter to
advance. Do you think that the " --L-- message I'm getting pertains to Load--as
in the camera doesn't know it's loaded? I thought the message might indicate
"Lock" since the shutter does not respond. Either way I'm still stuck. It's a
good thought and may have to do with the connections made when the slide is
closed Do you have the 6008i manual? I was hoping someone would find that
particular viewfinder error message and say "Aha" you merely have to do this.
Anyway, thanks for the thought.
Regards,
David
