Re: Frustrated with a problematic 7D

What you describe isn't the First Frame Black problem that was being fixed for free (at least it's not what I recall). That problem was annoying, but one could take more shots eventually after turning it off.

There was another problem with the Anti-shake dying, which caused major repair issues.

I do recollect that there was some procedure for other 7D issues mentioned here years ago, but I can't remember them. Unfortunately, it's a needle in the haystack problem trying to find them.

What happens when you go to CCD cleaning mode where the mirror is meant to flip up? Have you tried shooting with the Anti-shake turned off and on?
Regards,
Renato
