God save my F3

[Richard Pippin]

Need help getting a stuck shutter unstuck. Put a new roll of film in, but shutter won't advance. Camera was CLA'd at Pro Camera about 2 years ago and has been working flawlessly till now. Gotta be something simple, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Did you try the mechanical release, the button on the front? See the manual if you don't know how to operate it.

It's not a button, it's a lever that releases the shutter. The button is for the exposure memory lock.

Turns out the camera just needed fresh batteries as the old one were dead !

Trying the mechanical release first would confirm the shutter wasn't jammed .
