Good idea Josie... this problem is happening with the battery out so I think it's mechanical. Also the correlation with lighter fluid indicates mechanical.

Martin - That sounds like a possibility, but I can't tell from his picture which he means by the shutter closing spring. Is it roughly in the center of the image? I just had a look at mine and I don't think it's exactly the same shutter, but it might be similar. There must be at least 8 springs in the shutter visible from the top but none of them look gunky or anything.

It's hard to tell which mechanism actuates/closes the shutter, otherwise I would just follow through the sequence.
