Settings dial on AF360FGZ

I have been experimenting with the settings on my AF-360FGZ and I find the settings dial takes quite a lot of force to turn it. It is not so much force as to not be useable but a bit much to be able to set with my thumb.

I was just wondering what other peoples were like and do they need a bit of running in?

Same on mine but I don't use the dial much guess it may run in eventually.

Yeah, mine too. I often have to grab with two or three finger to get control of the thing. If I shove it with enough force from one finger, it tends to spin fast enough that the values go in the opposite direction. Rather frustrating...

I've had my 360 about three or four years and my 540 maybe a year and a half? The dials have not loosened up, so we're pretty much stuck with it.

Mine is a real early AF360 (around the MZ-S era). The dial is a bit of a pain - but I think I use a fingernail rather than trying to rotate the edge.

I noticed they've changed it on the AF540 so it's easier to rotate from the side.

Yep, I've a stiff one too.



Oooh no missues (etc etc)

Cheers for the replies, at least it means I have not got a duff flash

Better get practicing some thumb exercises.
