I had an identical problem, but only when I took my ESII out in cold weather. Somewhere on the web I found a reference to it (I think the originator was French) and he suggested that the solution was as simple as a drop of light oil on the spindle of a certain gear in the base of the camera. The gear in question is as far as I remember the largest diameter one there and is dark grey/black in colour on a silver shaft. With the ESII of course it's necessary to remove the circuit board to access the mechanics, but that's easy enough. A single drop of oil sorted my problem. |
