p.1 #1 · Bad shutter ?


What exactly happens when a shutter goes bad ?

At last nights wedding my MarkII N started acting funny.....err 99 starting coming up, and that never happens.
Then everytime i took a shot, the lcd was blank.....the camera still would work, but nothing was showing on the screen.

When i got home i did a test.....camera worked, no image on lcd, no image recorded on card.

Is this a shutter gone bad ?

I did get some images such as your first one with some black lines on them.....then totally black.........hmmm...let me check on a different card....


Ok, just did a check with a different CF card and all captures come up black....no image on lcd.....it still shows the info on the screen but no image........

tried different lenses, manual, auto, ambient, flash, etc.........

Probably a bad shutter.

Thanks.

Can you see previously recorded images at all and does the camera recognize the card? If you set the camera not to shot without a card and you only have a cf card in, it still shoots?

It might be worth checking the CF slot pins to make sure you didn't bend one. If not that, sound like an internal problem for canon to check out (maybe shutter). Maybe pull the battery and clock battery and try to reset everything? I might also try to trip the shutter with a slow shutter speed and no lens mounted to watch it and see if it looks like it's working. Good luck.

Hi Marcus, well I tried the slow shutter speed testing and I can see the shutter has a broken blade.......off to Canon.
Thanks for the assistance.
