My shutter has stopped opening

[Melissa]

While shooting my shutter stopped opening between shots. Which means the LCD and eye view are black. There is nothing to view. I took the lense off and lightly touched the shutter and it flew open. When I put the lense back in I could see a picture. I took a photo and now it’s black again.

Hi Melissa, you don't say which camera you use but it seems you may have perhaps set an advanced mode - pano, bracketting, double exposure etc. Check under the ISO dial to make sure it's set to "S" single.

If necessary, do a factory reset (user menu)  but maybe take a note of what settings you have so you can re-input them. Factory reset puts the camera back in the new camera state.
