Another strange F100 problem

[stnoonan]

I'm experiening a problem with my f100 that I haven't read about

before.

 

<p>At the end of a roll of film, the camera seemed to slip in to

permanent self-timer mode. Every time I hit the shutter, the

blinking light would come on, wiat ten seconds, then fire. I tried

all firing modes (single, continuous high, low, multi) and it did the

same thing every time.

 

<p>I swapped batteries, changed film, remounted lenses (which

relieved the problem for about six shots on a new roll before

starting up again), cleaned contacts, and tried all focus modes

without any luck.

 

<p>I've had the camera since 2000, so it has seen some serious use,

but it concerns me that I've only now experienced this problem. I've

had the locking up and focus selector freezing issues when batteries

ran low, but this problem seems unaffected by battery strength.

Anyone seen this before?

 

<p>Thanks,

 

<p>Sean
