Better info, thanks.
Hmmm, perhaps metering is working properly, but the auto exposure connection
to the shutter is faulty. This would produce the images shown...
Check to insure that the shutter speed is what you set it at in manual.
(Open the back, you can see the difference) with different shutter speeds.
Regards,
Bob...
