NO photo at all zero on the card, I will try manual mode, but I just cant see that going 'smoothly either, TYVM for your reply!!

Inadvertently set Mirror Lock Up?  1st press of the shutter button flips up the mirror, which sounds like it's taking the pic but it isn't.  The shutter doesn't operate until the 2nd shutter button press.  If no 2nd press in 30 sec. the camera resets without taking a pic.
