Re: Agree not at all what FSB or FFB was (nt)

When the shutter locks up and you get a black frame that freezes the camera:
1 - shut the camera off and remove lens
2 - turn it back on
3 - go into the menu and locate the "clean ccd" option
4 - select yes
5 - lightly touch the louvered curtain that is sitting over the sensor. It should sitting open when touched.
6 - shut off the camera and reattach the lens

It should work fine now. I find as long as I use mine daily it seems tip be ok. Regardless this always fixes the problem
