25% failure on the 5dmkII during an Antarctica expedition. Not good.

And that is what I did when I noticed that the camera did not work properly. I removed the battery right after I got the error. I let it open without battery, CF card and lens for days.

I cannot be 100% sure that no water entered the plastic bag, but I did not find any traces of water on the camera itself while in the plastic bag.


And if any water came into the camera it would...

Thansk... I have returned the camera to the local camera pusher. But due to vacation time it may take some weeks before I have it back [:(].

It's great for action (I shoot...
