This would cause fogging only if the frame of the film affected was left "in position" with the lens cap off for long enough to fog the film. I understand that this can occur if the camera is left in the sun (e.g. in the car window) for long enough for the focussed rays of the sun to burn through the shutter blind. If the film is being used in the normal way then the piece of film to be exposed would not be behind the perforated shutter blind long enough to fog, but if the camera is rested with its lens cap off then there would be enough light to fog that individual frame. Just a thought! Gerry (UK)
