Hi!
I have a wonderful Canon EOS Rebel t2i that I just love to death. I bought it second hand and have been using it for the past 6 months. Today, I pulled it out to take a picture and the shutter stuck! This happens on M & Av modes, but not on any of the other & automatic modes. I checked the mirror lock and that's not on.
So basically, what happens is:
Camera focuses, I press to take the photo and the shutter makes it's regular sound and closes... and then does not open up again. There is a red light that blinks, the screen is black, and after about 22 seconds, it re-opens and the photo is over exposed.
What is happening? How do I fix it? How did this happen? I am currently traveling and won't be able to take it in for diagnostics immediately.
Thanks for the help!

Test it in M mode. In Av mode, the camera will select a shutter speed based upon the Aperture, ISO, and available light. A long shutter time could be normal for the conditions.
Try dialing in the same settings [Shuuter, Apeture, ISO] from the A mode, into manual, and take another test shot.

At least on M, what is the shutter speed set at?

It's at 1/250, F6.3

Do you have a second lens that you try? We need to determine if it is the camera or the current lens. What lens are you using?

Wow... thank you both! You are both right! Thank you so much. Now, to return to the basics so that I don't panic and make a mountain out of a molehill because I don't understand the ISO/aperture/shutter trifecta.
Thanks again! Very helpful!!

Upload two pictures here. One from M or Av and one from Auto. Then we can take a look at the EXIF information bundled in the pictures.
