Help with film winding problem

Mwezzi · 15-03-2007, 18:21

I've been using my Canon AT-1 SLR for a while now without any trouble. Recently, when I was photographing a plant, I tried to wind on the film but instead of stopping there, the camera automatically released the shutter as the winding arm was at it's furthest point. I put the shutter lock on just in case I was accidentally pressing the shutter button, but this still happened. What's going on here? Has anyone else had this trouble before? Please help!

That sounds familiar for some reason.
It's almost as if the shutter button is stuck down.
Take the batt out and try winding on again, worth a try!
