<p>I've owned my 7d for approx. 2.5 yrs and shoot youth/HS sports and portrait photography. I started getting error 30 and have never used Liveview. I got the error with two different canon lenses so ruled that out. I originally got the error at the end of a vacation and then again during a paid shoot shortly after getting back. Setting up the night before the paid shoot worked flawlessly without any errors, turned it off for the night and then it occurred on my first test shot with my client. Had to use my old 30D as a backup.<br /> My firmware was 1.0.0 and decided to try and update to 2.0.3 before dropping it off for repair. No more shutter errors. I've been doing test shots practically every day for 2 weeks now... not a single error. Hope this fixes it permanently!</p>
