<p>I have taken both batteries out and I updated the firmware to the most recent, 1.0.9. <br> With a lens and memory card, the camera will only take a picture in manual mode with the lens in manual as well. When in non-manual modes it meters with the mirror up and thus way over does the exposure, and it won't let me take the picture. The lens will also not auto focus while the mirror is stuck up. But if I turn it to manual and take 2 exposures, the mirror goes back down, and I can turn it to non-manual modes and the camera functions normally. I suspect that it is a mechanical issue, I will probably take it in for repair - I was just hoping that it was something relatively surface level that I could fix myself because this behavior is so odd. </p>

<p>Thank you for your reply, I did reset all settings on the camera as well to no avail. I will try taking out both batteries and update tomorrow. Thanks again! </p>

<p>Hello, after searching far and wide on the internet I have not been able to find someone in a similar situation. <br> My Canon 50D mirror will stick up for 2 shots and then come down normally on the 3rd. The shutter works normally, and if I leave the mirror up in live view mode the camera will take photos normally. But if I put the camera in burst mode, for example, and hold down the shutter, it goes click-click-clack, click-click-clack, where on the clacks the mirror comes down as normal and on the clicks the mirror sticks up and blacks out the viewfinder, all the while the shutter mechanism continues to work. This all happens without the camera giving me any error. This all started happening when I dropped the camera about a foot onto the wood floor in my house. <br> I was wondering if there was a way I could fix this myself? I have thoroughly tried to peer in and see what is happening but cannot seem to figure it out - I feel like it should be an easier fix because there are no error codes involved. Hopefully someone knows what is happening!</p>
