[Leica] Question to the DMR users, a intermittent problem...

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

Well I have now been playing with my DMR for a day or so, and I have run 
into a perplexing problem.  After shooting a while the unit will not cock 
the shutter. I can remove the power unit and cock the R8 manually and it 
then works for a while.  Then I have to cock it manually to get it working 
again.  I can manually cock the shutter and it works every time.  The 
battery display shows full charge, and trying to charge the batteries, they 
charge only for a short time, which is what I expect if they are indeed 
charged.  A couple of times it sounded like a sluggish wind, so I tried to 
charge them, but as I said they appear to be fully charged.  The digital 
section seems to work just fine every time, so no complaints there, and the 
images are very nice.  At this point I am thinking a connection problem, but 
very strange.  Have any of you run into this problem or heard of any one 
that has had it?

Thanks for any help.
