Canon 60d- possible problem???

[Nathaniel]

I have just noticed that when I put my drive on to "hh"- the very fast continuous shooting mode, the shutter clicks even after I have removed my finger from the button. This doesn't happen all the time but occasionally after keeping my finger on the button for a series of continuous pictures, and when I remove my finger, the shutter clicks once more. Is this a problem that needs to be attended to or is it something normal which I have not noticed before.

Advice from other Canon 60D oweners will be much appreciated.

Thanks
Nathaniel

Hi there Nat,

I wonder if this is similar to taking in camera HDR pictures? Could it be that the noise you are hearing isn't the shutter clicking, but the mirror dropping down, after being help up whilst the series of shots is taken? I would think that the mirror is held up to speed up the rapid sequence of shots, and you don't need the mirror in such a sequence. Have I made myself clear? (I know what I'm trying to say!!)

Best wishes

Sounds logical to me Sara.

Thanks Sara. Sounds very logical and would explain the sound. I am of course relieved as I am generally very careful with my equipment and was quite worried.

You have to go to Conwy RSPB reserve where there is my "favourite Lapwing" sitting on her eggs. I went there today as well to see whether the eggs had hatched but no such luck.
