If it hangs up only in auto (this is assuming the shutter is open during all
this) then problem is probably a bad asa ceramic.  If it does it in auto and
manual, something's up with the lower circuit board.  If mirror goes up and
shutter does not fire (shutter lock) then it's something else that is wrong.
