Canon EOS1100D shadow in images

picbug_63 — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 01:11:02 GMT

I have just purchased a secondhand Canon EOS 1100D, total novice with such a camera & am wondering if anyone can suggest what is going on with these images please.

the camera is 10years old with 'hardly any use' does it need a clean etc...?

thanks & kind regards in advance Tracy

Welcome to the forums!

The used camera might need a shutter replacement.

hi Waddizzle

thank you for your reply... I too am thinking this is a shutter issue... a good clean might help... much fuzz & stuff in the body of... been in storage apparently for some years...

keep kind

kind regards Tracy

Cleaning won't help. You can't clean the shutter. It has very delicate curtains.

Greetings,

I agree with the guys. Cleaning is not going to help. This is a "return to seller" situation. If you are going to buy used, do so from a reputable source. KEH, Lens Rentals, Adorama, B&H, etc.. these sellers provide a warranty with your purchase.
