Nikon FG Question

[Nikon Collector]

One of my FG's has developed a problem recently. The led's at 1/60 and 1/125 both blink regardless of what aperture, shutter speed, or mode is set. Started half way through a roll of film. Any ideas?

You didn't open up the back halfway through the roll, did you? Or rather, have you tried shooting two frames to make sure it isn't that problem of the camera thinking it's starting a new rolls?

Further to Heather's comment (although you probably know this) the FG needs the frame counter to be on at least 1 in order for the meter to work so if you are trying it without a film, it needs to be wound on as if a film were in it.

That's the usual way with this camere. Photos are OK though. It seems, in certain circumstances the meter cannot decide between 1/60 and 1/125. Move the camera a little and they will become one.

counter is on frame 9, leds are same if pointing out a sunny window or with the lens cap on. Im thinking either a switch that tells it there's film in the camera or a switch telling it the lens is set to min aperture is malfunctioning

Problem fixed, even though it was mid roll, I opened the back and closed it, fired shutter twice and leds started responding to light changes
