Thanks John,
I was hoping that it was a common fault with a easy solution. As the camera
works perfectly when its not buzzing & locking up. John did you solve the
buzzing problem or was it a circuit replacement fix?
Incidentally some of my photos are displaying a dark vertical patch (middle
only) and around this an over-exposure patch which makes it kind of look like a
vertical eye. The rest of the photo is ok. This has happened 3 times just
before the camera locks and buzzes.
Has anyone else experienced this or is this the effect of low voltage curtain /
shutter release delay? I'm hoping that this might provide more support to the
problem. Note that camera shutter is easily reset by switching to B.

The buzzing thing is different than loose ground screws (which cause a
chirping in the same tone as the battery check). The first time I heard the
buzzing I thought "what's inside that could possibly buzz that way".
Tighten bottom cover screws, use chrome battery cap, silver oxide batteries.
Sorry, I don't have a solution for the buzzing.
