The above, in my experience, is the first indicator of weak batteries
with the 8008 (wish it had a battery check!). When I remove the batteries after such an incident, I try to use them in a small razor,
but they are usually on their very last gasp when these 8008 symptoms
occur - though they will run a couple of more rolls of film through
the camera, if nursed along...
Hope This Helps
