Hi all,
I recently had a shutter release cable tip break in my shutter release button. I was able to retrieve it with a mini screwdriver but since then the camera's shutter speed has been moving at higher speeds than I'm setting it to. For example: I was shooting at night with my tripod and when I put the speed dial at 1/30 of a second it still sounded like it was shooting at around 1/500 or 1/1000. To test it out I put my lens cap on and shot it. It only varied a little. Still way too fast. It shoots fast no matter what dial setting or lighting. I'm not sure what happened...thoughts?
