    Hi guys,
    Hope you could help me with a few issues. I'm not exactly a beginner, have been using a camera about three and a half years now, but I'm learning every day so I don't like to class myself as a good experienced photographer. So I'm happy to be classed as a beginner.
    The problem is the led on my camera will suddenly start flickering as if to show its busy, even when I haven't taken a picture and I have not done anything with the camera. Just out of the blue, have you any idea why ?

    Thanks

    Peter

    Not sure what to tell you, the light you mention is the one that registers the camera accessing the CF/SD card so it should only really blink during image taking or other tasks such as scanning previews where the camera is accessing the card.

    If its acting really erratic I would see if you can update the firmware and see if that helps.
