My 1Ds stopped taking pictures this weekend.
Admittedly it was a little cold, about 5 Celsius or 40 Fahrenheit. I had the camera set up on a tripod and it was exposed for over 30 minutes to a cold north wind. I had already used it for about an hour inside at the church so the battery was run down a little.
What it did was stop reading to the card. The shutter was still working and the flash still went off. The first indication I had that something was wrong was when I noticed that the back LCD wasn’t working.
I tried turning the camera off and on again but it didn’t help. I changed batteries and everything started working again.
I only lost about a dozen photos so it was not big deal. But it did give me pause and provided another reason for having backups. I just hope it was a battery related problem.
Anyone ever hear or experience anything like it?
