Shutter quit after about 15 minutes and I was shielding the camera in my jacket but once the top deck got wet. Anyone else have this happen. I am sure many of you have been shooting in similar conditions. Any suggestions for a cure. I know the camera will dry out by tomorrow. But the event will be over. I am disappointed with what I thought was my bullet proof camera. I guess I am back to film in my M6.
