I recently purchased a used D810. Everything seems fine except the light meter. It consistently reads very low and I must “overexposed” by about 18 stops, where it’s of the scale. I wonder if there is a calibration procedure or can it be replaced. Has anyone had this issue?
Thank you for any ideas, information you might have for me.
