DTD Posted March 9, 2007 Share #1 Posted March 9, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm just getting used to using my M6. Yesterday it was very bright and there were times when I just could not see the arrows in the viewfinder to set the exposure. I wear glasses (if this adds to the problem) and am waiting on an eyesight correction lens Are there any tips if this happens again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicanomad Posted March 9, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 9, 2007 Hi David, Just a thought, have you tried changing the batteries with fresh ones? It may just be that they're running down a little. My M6 manual advises a 20hour life and that the LEDs will start to dim at the end of the battery life. Meter accuracy is maintained if the batteries are visible. I wear glasses and typically shoot in very bright conditions but have yet to have a problem reading the meter. - Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTD Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted March 9, 2007 Thanks Jim, I'll give that a go. I've got a feeling I left the meter running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted March 9, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 9, 2007 Saw the same in January. Had to replace my battery and everything came alive again. I wear glasses too and have no problems seeing the arrows. - C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_g_wolf ✝ Posted March 9, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 9, 2007 Same thing happened here ! And with a new set of batteries my M6 always comes back to life. So will yours. But the good thing is, even with dead batteries the M6 is still alive and with a bit of guessing the exposure you can keep on shooting. Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
