Nathan I wonder if you have had some foreign body ingress around the shutter
release? Or maybe the detent mechanism is damaged somehow? You didn't get
some tapas and wine in there, did you? Maybe might be better for your
camera's long term health to get it rectified sooner rather than later (in
case it is something corrosive)? They should extend your warranty on the
whole camera, I think. Have a splurge and get the now discounted upgrades
too if you wanted them?
