Ron,
I had this problem a couple of years ago and it was solved by a nice
cleaning by a local technician - the shutter got gummed up? or 'gommé'
and was caused by old grease/oil/lubricant - worked perfectly afterwards.
It cost me 30 euros at the time.
If the camera perfomrs ok at room temperature, that will be the first
cause to investigate after ageing batteries.
Wish you good luck.

I've recently started having issues with my trusty R3 in cold weather
(when it gets to zero degrees). When on auto mode the shutter stays
open for around 4 or 5 seconds. It's as if the batteries are not
working properly. I replaced the batteries but the problem still
persists in cold conditions.
Has anybody else experienced these problems? Is there an easy
solution? I read somewhere that replacing the two silver oxide
batteries with one lithium type might help, does anyone have
experience of this?
Thanks for any info
Ron
