canon trouble? Hi, I have recently purchased a new canon eos 30 and when I use a sigma macro lense some times when I take a picture it clicks and stays open and then the battery logo flashes (even though the batteries are fine), and then it closes when I press the shutter button again. Is this to do with the focusing or the camera itself? It cant be the lense because its compatible. Any help would be good. Cheers, Simon.

Sorry, no, the lens is not quite compatible. The symptoms described are those for a group of Sigma lenses that have a design fault that makes it incompatible with the EOS 30/Elan 7. See http://www.sigma-photo.com/html/news/Elan7.htm You'll need to send it to Sigma to be corrected.

I've had an Elan 7e for some time now, and all of a sudden, my camera has started doing exactly what you describe--regardless of which of my three CANON lenses are on it. HELP! thanks

Ive had an elan 7e for 6 months, and now it is doing the same thing too. I can take pictures in manual mode from 125th and up, but anything undr 125th, and the mirror sticks, and the battery light goes on until I depress the shutter button again. I need help. Please. Thank you.

I have had my Elan7e for 10 month, just this weekend my elan is doing the same thing with all my lens, Sigma, Promaster, and Canon. Please give me idea on hoe to fix this.

Collin and Dan--I had reached the conclusion that the camera had to be sent back to Canon for repairs. (I never got the chance, however, because my husband's car was stolen with my camera equipment in the trunk!) Good luck with yours.

People with the Canon Elan 7e with the shutter problem that it will not close unless the button is pressed again on anything under a 125 shutter speed... I am not one to wait for companys to help me out because they are slow... so I used my soft lens cloth to check out my camera myself... I found my shutter that opens to expose the photo to the film was slightly caughton a edge pulling it out of the alignment of the rest of parts... I simple opened up the spot where we load the film and slowly not to break anything pushed the shutter up till it flattened out and seemed to be back into place... after this... my camera seemed to work great again.... this to me is a temp fix for I want to make sure the problem does not happen again... check this out on your camera to see if you share the same problem... To samys I go tomorrow morning what a drive in teh snow it will be :)
