Problems with focus and shutter speed

Problems with focus and shutter speed My camera is having trouble focusing on the subject and so it won't take the pic for a while and then when it finally does the shutter sound is very slow no matter what setting I have the camera on.

"Your shutter is probably used up to its designed lifecycle. I have the same problem of shutter being slower than what the setting shows, which definitely leads to over exposure. I have to switch to continuous shooting mode (either H or L) to try more frames to get it back to the correct speed. Somehow the problem pops up again and gets worse through time. I guess I've clicked it for over 100,000 times over the last 7 years since I bought it. Aging was what my photographer friend suspected. Will check out.

I'm using a 17-55mm f2.8 lens as standard fitting , perfect for DX format and so far extremely rarely does focus error occur."

It seems to be costant with the shutter. I can have it on 500 and it sounds like under 30. The focus seems to happen mostly indoors when I want a flash.
