I have no idea what lens yo uhave. There was a old Sigma Zoom Telephoto 75-250mm f/4-5 Manual Focus Lens for Canon but it will not fit an 80D.

Touch some metal object to ground yourself before you touch the camera.

It is never, ever normal for a properly working camera to shock a user at all! Stop using the camera immediately and contact support.

If you're in the USA, call 1-800-OK-CANON (800-652-2666) weekdays from 8am to Midnight (ET) or Saturdays from 10am to 8pm (ET).

Outside the USA, please click HERE and select your country or region for support options.

Your camera did not shock you, period, end of story.

Ernie called it > Static electricity. Will probabaly never happen again unless you run around in your socks and shuffle your feet on the carpet before touching your camera.

The only thing in a camera that can shock you is in the pop-up flash. Was that up and ready to fire when you got shocked?

Did you take Stephen the Moderator's advice and contact Canon (and/or Sigma) support? It sounds to me as though there might be a current leak between the lens body and the focusing motor. I suspect that the static electricity explanation is a red herring.

The camera's battery may not be able to deliver enough current to pose an actual danger, but it might be different id you ever used an AC adapter. In any case, it's not the sort of problem that lends itself to DIY experimentation.
