John,
         Don't agree completely here, since part of the switch also switches 
over from photo-diode to switched resistors, so if it goes open in either one 
of the "on"  positions the time can get very long and approximates lockup. A 
more subtle error would be a contaminated (leaky) switch but this would be 
more consistantly bad than described.

The other switch that might get flakey ( only on manual ) is the speed ring 
switch which might also give a "lockup" effect. Not applicable to Joel since 
his problem seemed to be on Auto.

                  Regards,
                 Tim Hughes
