Switch lenses? Do you have a canon lens on the camera?
Try taking the lens off and turn it on?
If you ever get it back where you can get on the screen, reset all settings to default and reload firmware.
If it starts working properly, get a different quick release since that one appears to be bad. Was that one used?
Good Luck
The prong if it is touching one of the others, or it is touching the side could definitely cause a short and may be doing this.
just a thing with switching lenses though:
If my theory of it being in constant

Dr....I didn't say turn the camera off...but yes .....do
I thought that one would be obvious but maybe not.
I guess we could check the theory of a short out by sticking a pin in my camera and bridging it to see what happens....but I think I will pass on that test
I turned it on without a lens attached & I changed lenses and still had the same problem.
UPDATE AGAIN: I was able to bend the one prong back and turned on my camera and all is fine! WHEW!!!!
My daughter made sure the prong is straight up (she has better eyes than me) and she plugged in the quick realease back in and it went in fine and worked fine! Looks like it was user error! I swear if I didn
I would have recommended bending the prong back straight, but if it had broke off I would have had to delete all my posts and deny I was ever here..
Good Job Denise
Thanks, I was afraid of that and my daughter was warning me of it happening also but once I started I could tell that these are pretty tough ...no chance of breaking off unless you bend it back and forth back and forth an number of times.
But if I would have done it at your recommendation and something went wrong ...I would reluctantly have had to accept a new camera from you to help ease the guilt you would have been living with! I
Yep, after numerous times of putting it back in and taking it off, shooting and reshooting ...all seems to be working properly!
It doesn't look like there are any lasting affects from it ...no short or anything.
Maybe this will teach me a lesson for not learning how to you the multi-function Japanese model I have. All I wanted was a simple release to use for long shutter speeds now ...not having to always use one that has a timer and this and that on it!
EDIT: I can't keep up with the quick responses ...thank you so much Rich and Brett! I am going to have my guard up high for awhile as I use this just to make sure all is good but I think it's perfectly fine now. Thank you Rich for checking out your own camera to simulate what I was going thru!
All of you guys are really awesome!
