Hi there,
I just bought a Contax T and have been checking it out make sure everything is in working order.
One thing I've noticed. When the flash is attached and activated, the shutter speed indicator in the view finder flashes (as it is indicated in the manual) however, the shutter speed is no different than it would be if the flash was not activated.
For ex&le, with no flash, the finder indicates the shutter speed is less than 1/30sec (with a continuous indicator light). When I attach and active the flash, it still indicates the shutter speed is less than 1/30sec, regardless of selected aperture (although with a flashing indicator light). Therefore it seems the camera is indicating it has selected the same shutter speed for a given aperture, regardless of whether the flash is on or not.
Is this normal? This does not seem logical to me and I have a feeling the camera is faulty. Can someone explain what is suppose to happen?
Thanks very much for your help.
