Shooting a cross country meet this evening there were numerous instances in which the shutter did not fire or firing was delayed when I pressed the shutter release button.
My camera is a k-5. I was using the 4-5.6/50-200 lens. On some of the occasions I experienced the problem, maybe all of them, I had a polarizing filter on the lens. Many of the situations were likely underexposed. I assume exposure settings should not affect whether the shutter fires or not. The battery indicator indicated about a half-charge. I changed batteries anyway, and for a moment that seemed to make a difference, but only for a moment. I checked through the menu after the meet to see if there was something I might have set that would have caused this problem, but didn’t find anything. Any clues as to what was going on? Might it be a mechanical problem?
