F31fd aperture priority mode not working?

[buddy]

My F31fd doesnt alter the shutter speed much when I change the aperture from low fstop to high fstop. Is this normal? The converse is ok - as in the aperture does change when I adjust the shutter speed.

thanks for feedback!

maybe this kind of pns has limited stops? I am not sure though.

OK this is very very interesting.
Decided to try after reading your post.

First I set it to A mode and then find that the SS does not change when I change aperture. I switch to S mode and find that the aperture changes when I change SS.

Then I set it back to A mode and find that the SS DOES change when I change the aperture.

I switch it off and try again and I cannot repeat it !!!!

What's the shutter speed stuck at? Probably time for servicing liao.

Cannot repeat what? Quite vague on this.

By the way, what's your ISO setting?

Cannot repeat the A mode with the SS not moving when I change the Aperture.

Exactly. maybe the iso changed to maintain the same shutter speed!

i dont think its a matter of not enough stops. thanks anyway.

My iso is fixed when i tried this. Thanks Russ for testing this as well. anyone else?

Was your shutter speed red or blue in colour when this happen?

Secondly, what was your shutter speed when you change the aperture from low fstop to high fstop.
