Eos 500 problem

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon EOS FAQ forum : One Thread

I own a Eos 500 since 2 yrs. Recently i have started facing a problem, the some of the snaps get missed out or washes out just by itself on any type of light conditions. I changed the battery of my camera (CR-123A) & tried but still i am facing the same problem. Out of the 36 snaps nothing less than 5 snaps will be blank. Have any eos 500 users faced the same problem, if so wht is soultion.

Open the camera back and look at the shutter blades. Sometimes there is a black oily looking substance that appears on the upper left corner. If it's there you need to replace your shutter assembly or just clean it yourself with lighter fluid. Be carefull though. Shutters are fragile.
