Yep. I've had the camera since I bought it new, never had any issues with it. 1.11 firmware. Bought the flash new, connected it, and the screen started glitching. First the menus looked all good and I could view my pictures, the glitching only happened in live view mode. Well, a few hours later and now the camera is unusable ie broken. The screen will be "on" - the backlight is on but nothing recognizeable shows on screen. It stays like this when I turn the camera off, only shuts down when I remove the battery.

Tried:

Taking the battery out and leaving it for a few hours.

Re-installing firmware.

 

Any similar experiences?

Hey draakko,

Did you find an answer?

First of all is your screen turning on? Remove the flash from the camera and try to cycle screen infos with DISP BACK button.

You also should know that when attaching a flash, you should disable PREVIEW WHITE BALANCE/EXPOSURE and maybe NATURAL LIVE VIEW too because as you connect your flash, your camera is setting the exposure triangle according to the flash that is very bright and there's a big chance the screen turns black when live viewing because of that PREVIEW EXPOSURE. To explain, the live view is very underexposed but the picture will not. So if you want to live view, you need to disable that setting that is affecting well, the live view.

 

Hope that helps.

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
