Good day to all... I am a new owner of a Nikon F5 with a Nikkor Zoom AF 35-135/F3,5-4.5 lenz. Yesterday I had my F5 out for my first day of picture taking and a strange thing happened. The senario goes as follows. I had the F5 mounted on my Manfrotto Tripod using a Manfrotto head # 141RC with quick release. After taking a number of frames I went to remove the F5 from the tripod via the quick release. When the F5 and quick release plate was *partially* removed from the head, I heard the motar noise from the Auto Focus motar, refocusing my lenz. So I seated the quick release plate and F5 back on the head. With both eyebrowse raised I went to remove the camera again. At the same point, I heard the AF motar again and this time the F5 desided that this was a good time to take a picture (click). Running out of eyebrowse to raise I then uttered an explative ($#%$#!) and put the camera back on the tripod. I then ripped off 2 or 3 more explatives ($%#!$#) and called my friend over to observe my F5's strange antics. When I showed my friend what was going on, my F5 kept on refocusing and taking a few more frames until the F5 and quick release plate was *fully* removed from the tripod head. I *did* confirm that *nothing* was touching the shutter release button. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be going on? Al Simcoe So Many fish, so Little time!
