Got it VERY cheap, upper wheel did not work. Can get by that. But now sometimes, it shows -3 or 1.4 or stuck at 1/400 using A or P or S. Mostly it is ok. Been spraying and blowing the upper wheel gently. But this must be something else? Any cure for it? - Can get a new one but would try to fix it anyway.

"Spraying and blowing gently" is fine if the contacts in question are exposed. However, if they were exposed, they'd be very prone to contamination, so, I suspect, you'll need to disassemble the camera as far as necessary to access the switch mechanism, which is probably sealed, in part at least, so you can actually inject your spray into the switch. There is, of course, always the risk of mechanical failure of the switch, which will require replacement, or failed solder connections, which maybe an easy repair for someone with the appropriate tools and skill-set.

Good luck

Thanks! Well, have never disassembled cameras so that would be a risk. Will use it daily, that could help, maybe. One user said check firmware, which is 01.31. Is that ok?
