I sometimes get the dark frame problem if i don't use my 5D for some time. However I encountered another problem when using my 3600HS flash. The image will be under expose to the extend it looks black. At first I tough it was contact problem and after cleaning it seems to disappear but it came back. Lately it hasn't occurred.

Just encountered Error 58 on my 7D 2 days back. Got a shock cos it was the 1st time I got it. Luckily, it was OK after I powered off & on again. :sweat:

Not to frighten anyone of you here.This problem will happen again.Last photo session with my Bro in law who uses KM7D.During the outdoor shoot ,it happened.Total blank after taking few shot,power down the camera a few times does not help.Suspected must be some setting problem.Later of the day,the camera working again.Just few days it happened and have to sent to service centre to have it repair and have certain component replace.:dunno: :dunno:

no need lah, u go Sony SG they hear, orr black screen, shutter problem, auto change a new 1 if under warranty... no warranty then u suay lor...

If you see the link I posted, the problem is related to a AF part and not the shutter. Hope SONY did changed the "design fault" part as well.

The service manuals from here are the older version, doesn't contain the "ERROR 58" info.

let's wait for sony to make more announcements. maybe they will indeed give free repairs even if warranty is over.

a similiar case happened 1.5 years ago with minolta. the dimage A1 had a CCD problem that caused colours to go hay-wired, and sometimes even totally distorted. my A1 had that problem (totally pinkish strips barely showing anything). my warranty ran out that time, luckily, the problem was recognised as a fault by minolta, and i got my A1 fixed for free.

so, let's wait for a moment.
