May be nothing more than a bad switch. When the cover is open, it opens a
small switch. Switch may be open while cover is closed, possibly due to
dust or debris.

Subject: [OM] XA Problem - Advise Please
> Hi Folks,
>
> I recently purchased an XA camera to use when bicycle touring. It's in
> nice shape - clean, very minor scratches, seals are good, etc. but it has
> one problem that's going to limit it's usefulness unless it's fixed - the
> shutter can be fired with the dust barrier (cover) closed. In it's
present
> condition and, considering the XA's hair trigger shutter release, I think
> I'll end up with a lot of blank exposures. Anyone know if there's an easy
> fix for this problem or is it going to require professional repair that'll
> cost more than the camera is worth?

> Thanks,
> Johnny
