MEB Posted May 21, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Over the last 3 days I have shot over 400 pictures. Everything worked perfectly. This morning I went to take a shot. The camera autofocused perfectly and everything appeared normal until I went to shoot the picture then nothing...no shutter and the camera just ignored me. I tried shutting it off several times and taking out the battery several times. The battery is fully charged and the camera recognizes the discs in the camera. I had the SL 24-90 lens attached but the same result when I mounted the M50 lux with the adaptor. Anyone experienced this? Is there something I should be trying?

MEB Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted May 21, 2016 Ok, I fixed it. I had to "Reset" the camera. I have no idea what happened but after the reset it is now working. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgktkr Posted May 21, 2016 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2016 The next time it happens do this: look at the top of the LCD (or EVF). Do you see the icon of a microphone and two volume bars to the right of it? If so, the camera is in video mode and won't respond to the shutter release. Give the LV button a short press to return to photograph mode. With my new SL the problem happened a couple of times before I became deliberate about the difference between short presses and long presses of the buttons. dgktkr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted May 21, 2016 dgktkr Thank you. I think you are correct about what was happening except that I could not get the camera to come out of video mode. The only way I could get back control over the shutter was to reset the whole system. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugues33 Posted May 22, 2016 Share #5 Posted May 22, 2016 Same experience for me ... I have not understand. Anyway, my video mode is blocked in the menu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgktkr Posted May 22, 2016 Share #6 Posted May 22, 2016 Same experience for me ... I have not understand. Anyway, my video mode is blocked in the menu. Hugues33, Could you elaborate? Your SL is in video mode and a short press of the LV button doesn't return it to photograph mode? dgktkr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEB Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted May 22, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hugues33 That is correct. It is now working correctly. A short push does disengage the video mode. Before I reset the camera, however, it did not reset. Now all is working correctly. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
