Hi. I have a Minolta x7A that I LOVE and do not want to give up! Lately, when I take pictures, there is a black line on the side of the photos, that range from 1/2" to 1" sometimes. Also, the pictures look grainy. I have tried a different lens,settings, films, etc. Nothing is working! I live on an island away from everything and there are no real camera shops within a 200 mile radius-please help! |

Are these pictures taken with Flash? If so check your shutter speed setting to be sure it's at sync (1/60th). If it's all photos, I'm afraid it's time for service. |

If they are not flash photos, it's most likely a shutter magnet problem on this model.
Straightforward repair but requires major surgery to access the magnet for service. The pictures look grainy because they are very underexposed- the shutter magnet is not holding the shutter open for the required time. |

Hi, I have a Minotla X7A. I don't know How well that mine Works Because I have never Got it Set and Fixed due to Some Problems that we were having at the Time.
I do Wish to Get it Fixed and would Appreciate any help that I can be Given in Doing so. I'm not sure if tehre is a Real Problem or not as I haven't yet gotten the chance to work with it. However I do know that the Shuter is Open on this one. My Brothers That We have Enjoyed for Years the Shutter Died on it sometime Back and this one was bought as a Replacement Camera so all the Lenses and Stuff could be Used.
Please Help as I would love to use this Camera if I get to go to a concert that I want to go to over the july 4th weekend.
Thanks Again.
