Can you take a thin business card or stiff piece of paper, and run it under the shutter button, around it, so to speak, in case some dirt or grime has built up or lodged in there. It may not work, but if it does, it may be a low cost interim solution. If that works temporarily perhaps you can work on cleaning that area.

I tried shooting with my IR remote and it seems to help. I will investigate a little further, but maybe it's the shutter button like you said.

If the remote works each time then this is either the button physically damaged or the timer as in many Canon it is the same option for remote and timer...
