Nikon F5 - advanceing frames on its own

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Camera Equipment : One Thread

I just bought a new F5. I noticed that when shooting with the verticle sutter release on the camera at times will advance frames on its own. This happens when the lens is pointed down towards the floor. I stoped at a camera store to see if another F5 acted the same as mine. It did the same thing. Has anyone had the same problem? If so, what is the cause? By the way I am not hitting the sutter with the heal of my hand. If anyone is having this problem and can provide a solution please let me know. Thanks in advance.
