> Hi everyone,

> Occasionally using the camera the second shutter fails to complete its

reset

> I have operated the camera extensively with film, taking approx 50 shots
> consecutively with no problems, until the occasional fault described
above.
> Auto exposure works correctly, batteries replaced etc.
