Thanks: Gave 136, Got 97 | What a complete idiot!
I have been having trouble with my 40D, the shutter has been playing up and nor working properly in any of the creative mode settings, I have to press the shutter button twice to get it to work!
On investigating it turn’s out the custom function, C.Fn 111 -7 Mirror lockup had been enabled, now I swear I have never set this function but I’m glad that this was all the problem was, having thoughts of having to return the camera to Jessop’s for repair!
