That means it works in the 'sensitive' but = not in the 'normal' range. I conclude that the sensor itself is = working, because when switching to the 'Black' setting some kind of = filter (small hole) turns in front of the lens. Looks to me that this = 'filter' just dampens the light by 7 steps. Would I be able to fix that myself with just a little screwdriver and = clean that filter or is there something more involved? Thanks in advance.
