I have found that if I shoot and manually check shutter cock between shots it works just fine. Maybe it is because the R8 has sat in active for so long and its shutter is stiff? ;-) Thanks to everyone who has replied so soon. I will try cleaning the contacts, I would guess the sensor cleaner would do or I may see if we have some alcohol around, and keep exercising it and it will go away.
