Hello!

I've just bought a FE2 in pretty neat conditions. I do have one problem.
The Aperture prioritty (Auto) just doesn't work as it should. If I softpress the shutter to activate the light meter it jumps to 3 secs and stays there no matter where I point the camera. If I set it to any other shutter speed, the light meter works as it should. But if I dial back to Auto it just stays locked wherever it was on before switching to Auto and shoots at that speed. I hope I make sense.
Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

edit: Well I fixed it. The auto timer lever was locking the auto exposure in place. I played a bit with the lever and now everything works. Phew.
