It happens with and without flash. I thought it was the shutter at first (I've taken about 16,000 pictures) but I have no idea. Thanks!  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

yeah, that's what I thought too so I did one without the flash. I've done long and short exposures and horizontal and vertical. They all have the same problem.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Kristina

More info | Nov 19, 2006 22:11 | #5 I wonder if this is a mirror issue... maybe the mirror isn't flipping out/all the way out of the way. 1D MKI + 1Ds MKI + 5D MKI Kit - EF17-35 f2.8L | EF24-70 f2.8 L | EF 100-400L IS | EF15 f2.8 | EF35L | EF50 f1.4 | EF85 f1.8 | EF135L | 580EX II | 580EX I | 270EX II | G12

ok, not sure if this is normal or not. I have it on sensor cleaning mode. It's hard to tell though with the pictures. I'm pretty sure something's wrong with this.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Kristina

Nov 19, 2006 23:03 | #15 ok, well...i put it back on bulb and held it open and the lower mirror did not go up (like it shows in the picture) so i helped it and it gave it a push up. When I re-clicked the shutter it went up like it should and took a full picture. So far, it's still taking full frames but I'm guessing I should still call because it will probably happen again.
