Re: Shutter problem

Sometimes it can be as simple as leaving AF priority to Shutter release on. I can't remember where on the menu is that, because my 7D has been dead for a while, but sometimes if you have it set to give priority to AF it won't fire the shutter until the AF "thinks" that it has got it on the fly. You could try resetting the camera, but if I recall well, the AF priority setting is the default setting.

Anyway this could also indicate that your camera may need AF adjustment.

Hope this helps and sorry that I couldn't be of more help as I can't check on my camera where that is on the menu (the 5D and 7D have near identical menus).
