I had something similar once, with the camera on a tripod. I took it off the tripod, removed the base-plate and set it on a flat surface. Happily, it worked. My guess at an explanation is that the tripod base-plate was done up a bit too tight and caused the body to flex just a bit too much in a critical place, but I really don't know. I stopped thinking about it when the problem went away, and it hasn't recurred.
