350d broke down
it was a sad day today as my 2 months old canon 350d broke down all of a sudden. me and sm was supposed to head down to the kl convention center for pc fair. at the same time, i would also like to take a few shots of the newly build structure located just next to the klcc twin tower. we left home around 1030am and had to meet a person to collect sm's defect headphone. while waiting in the car, i took out my camera and started shooting the surroundings. as a beginner in digital photography, i try to use the manual settings as much as possible to polish up my skills.
first shot was excellent. second was great. the third shot was the disaster when the entire thing broke down. i was trying to take a close-up shot in my car and after snapping it, the shutter did not open back to its normal position. at first, i thought that i must have set a longer shutter delay but after a couple of minutes, it's all bad. i tried switching it off and on again, it didn't help at all. tried removing the battery and memory card, it didn't gave me any response.
as a newbie to digital slr, i called up my friend and started asking for solutions. he was surprised on what had happened and he advised me to send it back to the place i purchased the camera. went to the shop in town, the owner was kind enough to find out the possibilities of why it stop responding. what makes it worst is that, not just the camera is not responding but the battery is dead too. oh crap!!! what the heck is wrong with canon now!!! eventually, it had to be send back to the main service center to get it repaired. oh man!!! what a day for me!!! the shop owner said that it should be all good in few days time.
as the day goes on, i suddenly recalled of reading a forum posting on canon 350d software crashing with lexar memory card. probably, that's one of a reason why it failed but the good thing is canon has already found a solution for that by upgrading the cmos software. well, hopefully it's all good when the camera comes back in a couple of days time.
