Re: First Frame Black Problem - Quick Question

if it is random it is very unlikely FFB. As the name says, it's first frame being black. It happened because of a poorly designed gear in teh shutter charging mechanism. And happened almost exclusively after turning the camera on.
Could very well be something with the CF card, especially if it's happening when teh camera tries to unload the buffer. I hope it will be fixed with a new card and yo ucan enjoy your camera. The 7D is really a lovely camera.

It's just some glass, some silicon and magnesium. It isn't a religion.
