msgsnapshot Senior Member  303 posts Joined Aug 2008 More info | Aug 14, 2010 19:11 | #1 I have a 40d that I have not used in about 6 months. I have a 7d now and I love it. The problem I’m having is with my 40d. I charged the batters, everything seemed to word fine. I pushed the button to take a picture and the shutter gets stuck! It will not release unless I turn the camera off and take out the battery. I mean everything else works it focuses, and everything. I even updated the software and nothing. WHAT IS GOIN ON? CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I’m glad I have my 7d:o

Aug 14, 2010 23:50 | #8 OK IT WORKS ....You won’t believe what happened. I was getting frustrated sitting on the edge of my couch with the camera on and no lens. The camera slipped out of my hand and fell to the carpeted floor, only about a foot if that. It fell on the edge of the camera. When I clicked the shutter it fired away. It’s working like new. I guess there’s something to say about a good beating. :0
