60D giving blank photos - help!
Jan 11, 2014 17:49:32 #
Today I was out shooting some birds, but when I checked the results I saw that after a certain point all of the shots were blank: pure black. I checked the exposure details for them, and nothing had changed: RAW, ISO 250, aperture priority, f7.1 and shutter speed in the area of 1/500th. I tried shooting with a different lens, and with a different memory card: same result. The camera has stopped producing an image. Plus when I turned on liveview that was blank too. There is the sound of a shutter activation, but nothing on the screen.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Rotate the Mode Dial to something else then back and try again.

Who should I be paying that to Larrie? Yourself maybe;)

Thanks for the suggestion; tried it, same result. Grrrrr... I suspect the shutter is shot.

Thanks for that. Sounds like the same problem, but after reading that I am tending even more to think the shutter is gone.

The shutter is most likely your problem, but take the battery out of the body overnight and recharge it. Try it again tomorrow. Sometimes that can re-boot a weak shutter and get some life out of it again.

This sounds like a shutter failure. This happens all the time to literally all DSLR's.
