Could be, but more likely its a dirty main switch, dirty trigger, worn out
cut plates, out of adjustment cutplates, magnet position. Oily magnet will
more often cause extended first exposure, not shutter lockup (which is no
exposure at all).

Subject: [OM] Shutter lock up in auto mode on OM-2N
| I am enjoying my new OM-2N, though I sometimes forget about using auto
mode.
| It works great in manual mode and I keep having to remind myself it's not
an
| OM-1.
|
| Anyway, every now and then my first shot in auto mode locks up the
shutter.
| The batteries are brand spanking new and a flip of the switch to reset
(while
| cursing) resolves the lockup.
|
| Since the camera has been flawless in manual mode, I'm assuming the
occasional
| lock up in auto indicates the magnet might be a little sticky. Is this
likely?
