Hello all, This is my annual coming-out-of-lurking post :)
Some time ago, I was shooting a time lapse with my K3 on a tripod. The camera was working great, as it has since I got it last January. I went to change the camera angle, and when I put it on live view to tweak the framing, the top part of the image was black. The shutter is not opening all the way, the curtain shows about 1/4th of the way. This happened all of a sudden: all the photos in my time lapse were fine. There were no bumps or drops, just me stopping the time lapse and putting the camera in light view. It keeps doing it regardless of what I do--fresh battery, shoot on continuous high speed, set the camera on sensor cleaning mode. The shutter just doesn't want to open all the way. Given that it's been less than a year, I suppose this should be covered under warranty. I'm about to send it in, but I wanted to ask: has anybody had an issue like this? Any recommendations on how to fix it myself?
