The numbers you mention are f stops, not shutter speeds. Set the camera to
"Manual", set the shutter dial on the front of the body to "30" (NOT the
ring on the front of the lens). Fire shutter. Does shutter fire at 1/30 or
more than 1 second. Try rocking "Auto-manual" switch back and forth a dozen
or so times to clean the inner switch and try again.
With the camera set to auto, look through the finder (while pointing camera
at a bright object) the turn ring on the front of your lens. As you change
f stops, the dots on the shutter speed scale in the finder should go up and
down.

| Thanks for the questions, Yes, there's film in it, yes there's a lens.
| I've tries it with different lenses, with and without my doubler (2x) .
| The shutter speed has been set on 4, 5.6 and 11 and it happens on all.
| It's been on Aperture priority and manual and has happened.
