Today I went to use my Canon Ti Rebel with my 28-200mm zoom lens, however when I took a photo the shutter cliked twice and then the low battery symbol started flashing, i then turned the camera off and then back on. The battery symbol was back to full power.
Tried again and the same result.
Then changed the batteries and tried again but the same result once again.
I then tried it on my other cameras (Eos 1000FN and EOS300V) but still achieved the same fault.
Any ideas out there what it could be ??
Thanks
I am assuming you have no flash attached(front or rear curtain sync is a slowed shutter motion hence x 2 clicks)it sounds like it could be a sticky shutter and it senses a fault and shuts camera down. see the warranty and get it to an authorised repair service. its not a mechanical camera so sod working on it yourself you could do more harm than good.

No, EOS systems only use lens at a fix focal point like 50mm, or lens that have zooms built in, ie; 24mm to 105mm. You can zoom images in a image editor like Photoshop.
Try another lens. It sort of sounds like the flex in the lens is partially cracked - like what happened to the shutter flexes in the old 35mm point and shoot cameras
Just a thought - are your Image Stabilizer and Auto Focus switches On or Off? Might be worth experimenting with them. Otherwise, sorry, can't help. May be necessary to contact your vendor.
Practice, practice and more practice. With the 18-55 lens you are going to have to use your feet as zoom too. What you see in the viewfinder should be what you see in the final picture so if you can not zoom in close enough you will need to move yourself closer.
Don't be discouraged it will get better.
Zooming is done from the lens on a DSLR, assuming you have a zoom lens on the camera. For example, if your camera came with the 18-55mm lens, you should see the numbers 18, 24, 35 and 55 on the lens barrel with a white index line next to one of the numbers. Turn the barrel to move a different number next to the index line. 18mm is wide angle, 55mm is 'zoomed in'.
The 35mm Rebel Ti and the Rebel 300D use the same lens mounting protocol. All Canon cameras designated 'EOS' use the autofocus EF lenses. If your Quantaray lens worked on the Rebel Ti, it will fit and should work on the Rebel 300D.
Quantaray is a private label lens made for Ritz Camera. They make this lens to fit several different camera brands including Nikon and Canon. The only ones that will fit a Canon camera body are the ones with the Canon EOS mount. If your Quantaray lens doesn't have an EOS mount, then it won't work on your Canon camera. You can take the lens to any Ritz Camera location and they can help determine which mount it has, and which cameras it will fit.
