Problems with my Canon Elan 7E My Caonon Elan 7E keeps flashing that the battery is low and won't make pictures . If I turn it off and back on again, it will take one picture and do the same thing again. The battery is not low, I have tried several sets of new battery's and nothing has helped. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be the problem? Thanks,

This is one of the classic symptoms when using some third party lenses that have a faulty internal ROM chip. Usually (but not limited to) Sigma and Sigma-made Quantaray lenses that were designed and made prior to 2002. The lenses work fine on older model EOS cameras, but with the Elan 7 and later models they'll exhibit this incompatibility. See http://photonotes.org/articles/beginner-faq/lenses.html#compatibilitythirdparty. If this is the case, contact Sigma Customer Service and they will update the lens's ROM chip to restore compatibility (if the lens is a current model). See http://www.sigma-photo.com/faq/faq.php?navigator=3 , FAQ #7, and . If it is an older lens that cannot be updated there is nothing to be done, save trying to return it to the seller.
