Re: Miraculous recovery

I had the exact thing happen to me while traveling in China two weeks ago, the dial had been playing up once in a while for a few months, but luckily it works most of the time.

This is what I have notice based on my experience. the dial skips when turn on cold after a few days unused, but after a few power on and off, it will get back to normal.

I also notice when that happens, the aperture dial is in the mid region such as F5.6 (maybe where I left off on my last use), I would try to turn the aperture to it's widest such as F2.8 before power off, then turn back on, it seems to work.

But by all mean send it back for warranty service if convenient.
