Oh yes, you reminded me of something else I forget to mention! You need
film in the camera in auto mode. Without film, the TTL sensor dutifully
tries to get enough light reflected off the black pressure plate. The
shutter would close eventually, but before that happens, we panic, reset
the camera and look for the problem.
