Great video. I wish we hat commentary. Short question: Would you recommend I replace all capacitors? I just got my Minolta XG-M and it fired ok for 5 days. Then it suddenly stopped working. I can see the LEDs working in the viewfinder until I try to fire. When I do, the LEDs turn off and only turn on again after I turn the camera off and on again. From the stuff I read online, the capacitors are most likely faulty. I haven't opened the camera but I will do so in a few days when I have more time.
Thank you. I'll try to post another video with a voice over once a suitable camera becomes available. I would certainly recommend replacing all three - one on the bottom and two on the top.
Great video. I have X70 with symptons likely resulting from these capacitors. Can you Pls advise which part number (or specs on uF, V, size..) of the capacitors I should buy for replacement? Thank you.
Hi Gary, what are the symptoms of the bad capacitors? I have an XG-M and the shutter won’t fire sometimes even with proper exposure. Is this related to the bad caps? Thanks in advance.
Hello. There are various symptoms to failing caps - failure to release shutter, light meter LEDs going out after pressing release button, no power to the camera at all.
@@GarrysCameraRepair Thanks Gary. I noticed the shutter doesn’t want to fire only when in “A” mode on the shutter speed dial. If I manually set a shutter speed it will fire every time. Using the meter to tell me the recommended shutter speed I’ll just shoot manually I guess. I’m on my first roll of film after inheriting the camera from my dad. Wish me luck and thanks for the response!

@@DuyHungNguyenbk Thank you. Those caps are 220uf 4 vdc or 6 vdc
Complimenti splendido video
A quando la sostituzione dello schermo si messa a fuoco?😁😁
Continuerò a seguirti comunque 😁

Thank you for your comment. I will try to post replacement of the focusing screen video as soon as we get one needing that service.
