Hi @cuzz

According to p.94 of the user manual, help indicates a winding motor problem.

The solution offered is to remove the battery and then re-install it.

What is the battery charge being shown by the 4 bar indicator in the data panel when you turn the camera on?

Just verifying that you installed a 2CR5 Lithium battery? Maybe check the voltage of the battery. It should be 6V. The shutter is locked when the battery has been depleted.
