Q3 first pressure point (half-press) stops working?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone experienced an issue with the shutter button on their Q3 where the first pressure point (half-press) stops working?

On my Q3 (Q3 43), the shutter button no longer gives that slight resistance or “click” at the halfway point; it just goes straight down and fires the shutter. The half-press focus activation seems to have completely disappeared.

When I compare it to my older Q3 (Q3 28), that one still feels ‘normal’; there’s a clear halfway resistance and a subtle click when pushing past it.

Everything else on the camera works perfectly, so I’m wondering:

• Has anyone else had this issue?
• Or is there a setting I might have (stupidly) disabled somehow?

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Chris
