T1i Refuses to shoot.

Hi all,





I'm stuck.


I'm wondering if someone can tell me why my new T1i refuses to shoot in Manual Mode and with MF? I've tried all 4 metering modes and quite simply if it's too dark (I think - I'm just guessing here), it refuses to shoot. The camera is mounted on a tripod and the exposures are about 4 seconds. The Focus confirmation light blinks continuously but I figure since I'm in MF this shouldn't be a problem, right?





Any help would be greatly appreciated,





Max

Firstly; do you have a memory card in the camera? If so, then is the self-timer or mirror lock-up on?

Oh, and welcome to the forum. :-)
