I've had my Canon 30d since last summer and it's been excellent up until the new year.
Recently when its been on for a few minutes it constantly turns itself on and off. It seems to turn off as its moved around. I thought perhaps it was the battery moving around inside but i'm not sure that this is the case.
I've tried cleaning the battery contacts inside. This hasn't helped. It also seems to do it with a full battery. It does it with different lenses, so thats not the issue. But I cannot work out why it is doing it!
It's becoming a real problem because i'm being asked frequently to do photoshoots for people and it looks far from professional if i'm constantly staring at my camera in frustration.
Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe somebody has experienced a similar problem? Please help!
[please note: i've checked around on forums for this problem, but have not found any solutions. so apologies if this has been covered before, but i did check]
