I've run in to a peculiar problem with my 600d. Whenever I try to take a shot in Live View mode with something connected to the hotshoe (flash or trigger), the camera just stops. Black screen, nothing works. IF I turn it off and back on, I can view pictures using the play button but can't shoot anymore, either in Live view or using the viewfinder. The only way to get it back to normal is to remove the battery and put it back.

Can anyone help me figure out what could be wrong here?

Canon -EX series speedlite or other?

Did the camera work with speedlite/trigger before and now it doesn't?
