Urgent request: 7D needed for Saturday

[Ecclesiasm]

Dear bros,

Am in a predicament. Got to shoot a wedding for Saturday, but both my 5600HS and Sony 56flashes cannot be fired from my camera. I think circuitry on camera is faulty.

Will appreciate any brother who could loan me your 7D if you're not gonna use it for the weekend. Only need the camera unit as I have the batteries and the grip. A token sum will be given in return for your kind help.

Best case scenario, I'll self-collect from you tonight. If not, let me know what's your best arrangement.

Thankss,
Marvin

Yo Bro,

It could be your hot shoe contacts are dirty.
Try cleaning the contacts to remove any oxide layer with a cotton bud or rub it
with eraser (pencil eraser)

rgds,

[eow]

upz for u...
if not hardly will anyone spot this ad
since there not much of a 7D users around

 

[Ecclesiasm]

Alas, it seems that suggested solution doesn't work. A trip to Sony Service Centre is a must.

Anyone?

 

[Galdor]

Sigh...if I haven't sold my 5D, then I can lend you my 7D. Where is the wedding dinner bro?

 

[Ecclesiasm]

Think I won't be taking during the dinner already. Will leave that to Kelvin Koh... heh heh.

I'm doing this for a good friend actually. But now... sigh...

I'll use have to rely on f/1.4 and f/1.8 and fire camera flash if really needed...unless someone can loan me one for the day...

Anyone?

 

[Ecclesiasm]

last try...



anyone?

 

[rOnGrEn]

just wondering.. does your on-camera flash work? If it works, maybe can try wireless? get a cheapo flash bracket..mount your flash and you are good to go..

 

[Johnston]
