Q. Strange varying exposure problems with Canon A1

Asked by Lauren Everett (K=20) on 10/8/2009

Hi,

The other day I got a few roles of film back from a cheap processing place, and noticed that many of the frames shot in low light seem to be over exposed (or something?) in one particular corner. I have had this camera for years, used it just last week, and this is the first time this has ever happened. Is anyone familiar with this? Processing error perhaps?? Here are some links to examples;

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have been having non-stop trouble with my cameras these past few months :(

Hi,
I'd credit this problem more on the lab than on the camera. If you shot negative, maybe the lab's printer software was trying to compensate it somewhat or even had dated chemestry.
If you shot slide, then it is possible that the camera's shutter has a problem. I suggest you shoot a roll of slide film with it and develop it on a nice, reputed lab. Shoot plain subjects, like a white wall, for example. After observing the shots you'll be able to say if the problem is with the camera or the other lab you were using.

Best regards,

José Azevedo
