Odd behaviour from the booster of my EOS-1: at colder temperatures,
it starts whining during transport, and the 's' from single-shot mode
starts blinking; all this while the battery-check turns up with the
full 3 bars, and pressing the drive selection button makes the
blinking disappear, until the next shot.
All involved AA NiCd's show the same sufficient voltage as well....
(a single bad apple would explain things....although I can't rule out
one with a very high resistance, theoretically, can I?....after all,
I can only measure voltage in an idle situation, not under load (and
I can't measure in the coldest situations either; perhaps time for
some lab tests in a freezer?....:))
(have some nice high-tech charge/cycle/capacity reading equipment;
put AA cell in freezer, wires running out, and measure away)
(also want to run some tests one day with a small mobile compressor
freezer inside a normal household freezer, to see what data I get at
the combined/added -30/-40C)
Or perhaps the lube in either EOS-1 or booster has lost it's
lubrication properties?....just too much resistance?
Anyone ever had his EOS serviced for arctic lube, just like Leica &
others offer?....:))
