Didnt have a lens cap,or an extra battery,i got the camera with lens and bag...so im thinking about going back and offer a lower price and bring it to a camera repair shop and if its only because the battery is almost dead,then i got a t1i for really low price,if its the shutter,then ill bring it back again....hope its only the battery.when your battery light is blinking,does it allow you to shoot videos or does it give you an error code too....?
Hi, we don't have that specific model, but in all cameras we use, if the battery is low (and blinking) and the camera turns on, you can shoot video and take pictures, no error code due to low battery low.
I suggest to try unmounting the lens, just in case, and try to shoot video. It will expose the sensor to ambient, so don't do it outdoors or in a dusty room. If you do it just for a moment, nothing bad could happen and you'll know if the lens has anything to do (I don't think it does, but doing so you can isolate the problem).
Some cameras display a message when they don't detect a lens and you turn Live View ON, but you can bypass it pressin "Ok".
Hope this helps. Let us know what happened after you find a solution. (unfortunately I think the problem is hardware related, but I may be wrong).
Regards.
