Hey all,
My 50D died whilst on holiday and am hoping for inspiration for things to try before sending it off to Canon.
Happened, after 2 weeks on holiday, 1000 ish photos in. Camera was at rest on a table, and I was flicking through photos. Turned away for a couple of mins, turned back, camera had gone to sleep as expected. I tried to look at another photo, and the thing has been dead ever since.
I've eliminated the battery (tested as working in another camera, and another known working battery didn't solve the problem)
I've remove the batteries (both clock and main), clicked the shutter release to eliminate any remaining charge then reinserted everything - no joy
Next suspects - CF or battery compartment switches, but I don't actually know how to diagnose if they are the problem (and given that I didn't move either compartment lid, doubtful.
Any more suggestions on things to try?
