I just bought a used F3, and tried it yesterday. When I set
exposure in the
A mode, I found that the shutter could not close if the exposure
time was
longer than 8 seconds. Does anyone have this experience? Is it
within the
spec or I need to have it repaired? Any advice will be appreciated.
I don't have much experience with the F3, but in other electronic shutter
Nikons of the same vintage, this behavior means you have a marginal battery.
Try a new battery before you seek repairs.
