How do I know I have had shutter failure, well the camera told me in no uncertain terms.? That much is fact.

What I find interesting and would like speculation\explanation about is the nature of this shutter failure. The camera would not fire the shutter when held horizontally, yet when I moved the camera, tilting it up or down it would fire. I now have a fine collection of well exposed ceiling and floors. Perhaps this is the direction that my talents should take and the camera has decided, being the superior in this relationship, that I should go in that direction.

I can only speculate, is there some trigger (mercury sensor or something) that will only allow the camera to operate in a certain position? I am sure there are other, better thoughts out there on this and I would welcome them.

Please try to refrain from imputing idiocy as a possible explanation , the thread originator has suffered enough with the above behavior.
