Hi

I have a very old Pentax A3 which I had not used for years. Last month
I started using it agian and noticed that some times when took shot the
shutter would open and close 3-4 times and the reel would forward by
the equal number of steps as well.

Although I had camera for a long time I am still bigginer in
photography. Could some one tell if my camera is damaged or is it a
some kind of setting. Last time when this happened I had flash on and
the f-point was at 4. I was taking shot indor with normal indor light
bulbs on. As soon as I pressed the button to take shot the shutter
opened and closed 3-4 times and the film jumped ahead by same number.
But it does not happen all the times.

Thanks

Rajesh
