My M3's shutter dial seems to be flaking out on me lately. Just about anytime I shoot at 1/125th, as soon as the curtain closes it jumps to the 1/50ths flash synch speed. If I shoot at 1/250th, every three or four frames it will jump down to 1/50th if I don't touch it.
This sound like something bad growing inside? I can deal with it right now if I stay conscious enough to fiddle with the dial between each shot, and my shutter tester confimred that it isn't making the switch until after the exposure, but if this is a precursor to complete camera failure, I should probably get it serviced.
Perhaps the ghost of a former owner is telling me I should do more flash work, since that seems to be my strongest body of work I've produced this year with it.
