Canon T70 Shutter Stuck Til Pressed Again

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Canon FD : One Thread

When I press the shutter button on my Canon T70, the shutter stays open until I press the button a second time. It does it on manual and auto as well as all speeds and settings. Any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks in advance.

I had something similar happen - turned out the batteries were flat (took the camera out of a drawer and forgot to check it - Doh!). If you've checked this and also tried removing the batteries anyway to reset the camera (and also tried without the lens attached, just in case) then it's probably something serious that needs professional attention.
