I have just purchased a used Aria. The camera seems to be in near mint condition and everything works except:
I checked out the auto exposure settings in all modes, using a hand held light meter. Under a wide range of "normal" lighting conditions the camera's meter was right on. However in very low light (like in a dark room with the lens cap in place) the camera still shows a permissible exposure (f1.7 at 1.0 sec.) regardless of exposure or metering mode. Do I need to send the camera for repair?
