Default How to adjust meter on Nikon FE2?


One of my Nikon FE2's meter is off about 1 1/3 stop. I set ISO to 100 and
exposure compasation to 0 on both FE2 and N80(in CW mode), use the same len
to meter north sky, on N80 is 1/90 & f/16, on FE2 is close to 1/30 & f16.
FE2 has new battery and clean focus screen.

Does anyone know how to adjust FE2's meter? (not just set different ISO to
compensate 1 1/3 stop)

Thanks!

You will need to remove the top cover to access the adjustment pots. Google
for a service manual, there are a bunch of them out there.
My advice is to send it to a local shop to have the camera calibrated.
