Canon T50 broken light meter?

[patterson]

Hello!

I recently inherited a Canon T50 and have been experimenting with film photography. However, whenever I attempt to shoot, the P warning for dim lighting flashes, regardless of how dim the lighting actually is. I could point the camera directly at the sun and still the P would flash. Is there any way to fix this? Or, if the problem is not fixable, could I use the manual aperture settings to circumvent it?

These types of situations are often hard to solve.  Typically, because of parts availability.  I think a complete camera replacement would be the most economical option, but you never know.

Is the light meter battery good?

🤔  I think the T50 only uses 2 AA batteries.  I don't believe it has a Light Meter Battery.
