Will not take pictures

Gibsalot — Tue, 04 Jul 2017 19:31:27 GMT

ok so i have an EOS Rebel T5 , it stoped taking pictures mid shoot the other day.

symptoms , when powed on it opens flash and takes a picture, normaly 1 but have several times started taking multiple pictures as if the camera was in burst mode and would only stop when i press the shutter button.

when trying to take a picture it will auto focus with half press , but with full press i only get flash or normal beep but no shutter action no picture and no error or busy message. it does this in all modes including MF and with all 3 lenz i own.

i have cleand every thing including the contacts on lez and body. i have also switched it into every configuration of AF , MF and other setings it has no effect.

Try resetting the camera. It may be in a multiple exposure or bracketing mode.

Make sure your battery is fully charged. If you are using a battery grip, remove it temporarily.

Have you ever low level formatted your memory card in the camera? Every memory card needs to have it done before first use.
