Hi everyone,
I have some problems with my "new" olympus XA1 camera.
1. First one is problem wtih shutter release, it was blocked. I found a probable cause, which is a selenium plate around lens. Propably selenium get old and stop make voltage, I measured it to be 0,05mV and I dont know it is measurement error or this plate work olny with sun light.
2. When I tried disassembled the camera, some parts fell off and I have trouble putting them back together.I know that the spring should be in the place marked with a red circle in the photo, but I don't know exactly how it should be installed. I also don't know where the plate and the "nut" came from, because I caught them while disassembling
I also tried find some manuals in pdf but I only managed to find the manual for the XA camera, which unfortunately turned out to be useless.
I will be eternally grateful for any advice or documentation.
