before I send my 5D off to Canon for repair, I'm hoping that maybe there's some kind of self reset procedure I can try first.
The camera is suddenly firing (taking pics) all by itself. It just keeps on firing until I turn it off. Also, at times the top-controls get locked out. This happened after I tried to use it with very drained batteries, so I'm thinking that maybe I messed up the rom logic or something.
Has anyone had / fixed this problem before? Is there some secret reset procedure?
A mechanical component in the shutter can fail, so that the shutter does not lock in the charged position. It then continuously repeats the futile cycle. For some reason many Canon bodies don't have a system to detect the failure and shut the camera down.
