Hi Jason,
Is this not the result of the meter reading the scene and the lights
re-acting accordingly in relation to the exposure/aperture settings?

If you have your instruction manual handy I'd be checking to see if you may
be mistaken in the malfunctioning of the camera or meter system. I'm not
saying you haven't read it through, however one must ask; is this a recent
meter happening or has the camera been functioning in this manner since you
acquired it?

But your observation sounds like the camera is working quite normally, but
you're not understanding what is happening inrelation to adjusting the
shutter speed dial or aperture ring to have the correct exposure and lights
come on indicating it's OK to shoot.
