Hello,

I inherited a Konica C35 AF a while back and totally forgot I had it until today. When I pulled it out, I decided to try to run a roll of film through the camera to decide what I wanted to do with it.

I loaded brand new AA batteries in and the flash seems to work, but I have discovered that the shutter seems to be having problems.

I was a bit mystified at first because there seemed to be a delay from when I pressed the shutter button, but it did kind of work. (I've read online and see that the camera has always had some sort of delay.) However, it now seems to take at least a minute (sometimes more) before the shutter fires, if it fires at all. I thought maybe there was an additional battery in the thing that needed to be changed, but I could find any info on that.

Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Many thanks in advance.
Paul
