[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 160664, member: 13090"] I've not tried this technique but I've heard it can unstick a stuck shutter... Turn your camera on. Turn off "VR" if the attached lens supports it. Put your camera in Manual and set it for a 15 second exposure. All other settings are unimportant. Take the shot, wait five seconds and open the battery compartment and pop the battery OUT and then quickly back IN. The idea here is to cause a little bump in the power cycle, [I]during the exposure[/I], to get the shutter to pop free. You may need to repeat the above steps several times to get the shutter unstuck. Like I said, I've not tried this myself but I do have it on reliable authority that this can solve the problem. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
