Strange camera behaviour

Win 7 SGP 2.4.2.6

During frame and focus, the shutter closes after about 3 seconds even if a longer time is specified. Tonight was the first time for this problem.

Last session and tonight, the frame and focus images are empty - no data visible even stretched. This happened last session just before getting clouded out, and even 2 minute exposures came up with no data. Camera records data to the SD card no problem if I run it with an intervalometer instead of SGP.

I just tried to solve and sync, and the problem is there too. 10 second exposure ends after 2 seconds and is blank.

Solved! I had set the mirror settle time in SGP to 2 seconds recently. I just changed it back to 0 and it works fine now and the images are not blank anymore.
