P67 shutter fires when MLU depressed

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Pentax 67 SLR : One Thread

My P67 shutter fires immediately after pressing MLU switch. This occurs once after installing a lens. Can I avoid this problem or is the camera a candidate for repair?

Mine has done this once and it was traced to a near dead battery. If your battery is not the source of the problem, try calling Pentax. SR

Thanks, Steve. Replaced the battery and everything's working fine.
