Hello TDP forum, this is my first post in here , i come here cause i know this is a place every canon user have seen and frequently visit. im honored to be a member and will stay active cause ive always wanted to sign in but always forgot to ^^' .


my problem (and i suspect of a lot of other people too >_&gt


my 50D , never felt comfortable with this camera and never will (love my old and scratched 350D), but forprofessional and practicalreasons i need it. that camera always had something weird , but now its just going freaking crazy


it says it always has the external flash attached >.> ... i think i know when my 580ex II is attached and im 150% sure its not attached.


if I enable live view the button wont work but after a while it goes into live view mode and theres no way i can turn the little bastard off with the button , only by disabling the damn feature... (this i know how it happened, i accidentally pressed the depth of field button while in live view, since then its like that...)


sometimes when taking sequential shoots at high speed, it makes some kind of long exposure shutter sound... this is even weirder cause the shot is the same as the other ones at high speed.


its only been a year since i bought it, and its been a fail after fail (starting with the horizontal lines crappy noise it has and the poor dynamic range )


is there a way to master reset the camera? like a real hardcore way that may downgrade the firmware and all, i've tried taking the 3v battery out, leaving the camera with no battery or lens attached for a whole day and reinstalling the latest firmware update...none worked...


also my 17-55mm f2.8 blades got stuck in f22 and i cant any take pictures with it. it first started failing and giving error 01, then it didnt want to shoot anything if not in f 2.8 then one day just didnt do anything at all...i think it may be related to the crazy camera thing and i know its not something i can repair myself (how much it cost to repair it? anyone with the smae problem?), i just want to know what happened to it and if i should stop using my lenses on that camera





Thanks!
