The camera is in very good condition and the problem is only on the right side which I suspect may be a faulty connection  of dials contact point with the top plate circuit board or faulty ribbon from the top plate circuit board to the motherboard. the camera will need to be opened up and those areas inspected and tested.   Right now I am using the camera as is with its limitations by using a darkening filter to reduce light in daytime and camera placed on a tripod. Nighttime shooting is easier as surrounding light is already reduced. Camera produces very nice pictures and just shooting non moving objects right now. Plan on trying moving objects for controlled blur effects. There is a lot you can do with a one second exposure. I've been using a 28mm 2.8 lens at f22. Will try some of my zoom lenses that are darker to begin with and the darkening filter. Once I get to opening it up I'll let you know how that goes.
