Dropped camera & lost shutter button.

You dropped it and that is the problem, it is junk. Repair cost will exceed price of good camera.

You're only hope is probably to remove the battery, press the power button a few times to reset any components & the try it again.

Wow, four days ago.

I would think that the camera has dropped the shutter by now.

There is a mode in the camera that holds the mirror up out of the way for sensor cleaning but this is defaulted as soon as the power is shut off and then turned back on again.

Or the camera was set in manual mode "Bulb" and is waiting for the next command from the photographer to "drop" the shutter "takes a second press of the shutter button.

The lens may be loose (unlocked) and giving a bad command to the camera.

The Canon 40D has a shutter capable of 60,000 actuation so if you are close to this I'd say the shutter has been shot out of it.

Also sometimes the shutter release button sticks and gives the feeling or appearance of a stuck shutter.

Shutter switch also known as a release button have been an issue sometimes where dirt and oil from a person hands get down into the button.

To release shut the camera off, take the battery out, remove and reinstall the lens, shift the taking mode to "P" program or full automatic green box.

Hi,

Hi, I've had the same problem - there are 4 legs that clip the zoom button on (which holds down the shutter button) and the ends of the legs snapped off. I didn't drop it or anything, just one day when I got the camera out the shutter button fell right off.

If you're in the US you can get a replacement part from here:

I think the part no: 10213210 is what you're after. Note that it's $8.50 (USD) and then they charge $11.50 (USD) to post it to you!

Unfortunately I'm in NZ and they won't sell it to me.

Try a camera store/repair shop.

I dropped the camera and now the shutter opens when turning off & closes when I open the camera. But when it is open, the shutter will open a bit making it impossible to take pictures. What should I do or where do I take it for repairs?
Tks, Ruth

Try replacing batteries (high Ah photographic type).
The lens motor & electronics may be draining power if Ah capacity has dropped too low. At night, it could be that your flash is trying to fire (another drain), or shutter timer / mirror staying open longer.

hi it depends on where it broke and if...(the button) if it just fell then u can just take the new button a shove it in untill theres a CLICK if its broke then u will need to pull out the rest and then shove it in DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE CAMREA IF U DONT KNOW HOW!! you will brake the pins inside when u will and then it will cost u as a new cam good luck windman
