:help:can any one tell me why my canon 30d keeps shuting down.
more so with a big lens on. it has got my head batterd: thanks
 
from that description I'm sure someone could immediately diagnose the problem


do you get any error codes?
does the screen change or freeze up?
how old are your batteries? they may have high residual charges

Check lens contacts on body and.battery contacts on body, clean with contact cleaner or pencil eraser in a pinch.

If that doesn't fix it look up dead battery syndrome. You had the camera long?
 
only had camera 4 weeks got it on flebay hopeing it will be beter than my 400d i will try all your tips and hope for some luck
thanks lots
 
thanks a lot i think you have sorted it the generic grip is a bad fit shoud have went for a canon one again many thanks for your help
 
Not had that problem with any of my grips, however I do use only one make so maybe I just hit on a good one.

Canons prices for grips are shocking.
 
Yup looked at the price of a spare battery for my newly aquired 1d3, I thought the one for my 5d2 was bad but I felt very fient after looking at this one.

£95 for a battery jeepers what are they thinking of :(
 
Yeah they are, but then again used BG-E2 grips are not bad at the moment I picked mine up in like new condition for only a few quid more then a generic one. It only takes one small voltage problem to negate the original extra cost.
