It is true: the mode dial on my EOS-5 got broken after about 4 years
of use and needed to be fixed - and it seems to be extremely common.
The genuine repair is pretty expensive, since it involves exchange of
the whole top plate. However, there are repairers who mend the mode
dial for you for peanuts, although it does not operate exactly the
way it did before the malfunction
Best regards
