Hi guys,
I have a Canon new F-1 that has some shutter issue. The shutter can fire, but the curtain will close as soon as I release the finger. If I use a longer exposure time, say 8 seconds, I have to press 8 seconds to make it fire properly, otherwise the curtain just shuts after I release the finger. The camera works fine for short exposure, but not ok for longer exposures.
all the shutter speed is correct if fired properly.
Also the self timer works in a similar manner. It fires but requires pressing the button the whole time. Otherwise, the beep just stops after releasing the shutter button.I also discovered that every once in a while, the timer works fine —- may be 1/50. Seems like some contact issue?
the camera looks very new.
Thank you for any inputs!
