Canon EOS 6D Black 26.2MP Digital SLR Camera

I've used Canon cameras for over 20 years without issues. However, my Canon 6D now only works in automatic mode. In manual settings, the shutter fails to respond correctly and stays open for 5 to 10 seconds before closing. I've reset the camera to factory default and updated the firmware, but the problem persists. I would like to inquire if anyone has any insight into the current situation or has encountered a similar experience. Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When you say "automatic" do you mean Program mode?

Can you write down the settings (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) that the camera is setting in P mode and adjust Manual to the same settings and see what happens?
