I'm looking for some feedback on a strange malfunction. I was shooting a wedding the other day with my 4 month old 5D2, 70-200 2.8L II and 580EX flash when an err30 message popped up (at the exact moment the bride walked in the room for the reception no less).

I did the standard try not to panic but holy poop on the fly reset (mem card out, battery out, on off). The camera reset and would shoot 1 or two pics then the err30 message would reappear.

After spending hours with the search button I've pretty well decided that the CPS sounds like a great option for repair. Small side note I had no idea that the Canon Professional Service even existed!

So the weird part is tonight as I was packing the camera up it seems to be working great except when I strap on the 580EX flash. Any thoughts on why that would be? Could it potentially be the flash?


1DX MK ii, 5D3's, 5D2, 7D, Some L's, Some Sigma Art Lenses plus a bunch of Elinchrom strobes.
