Re: weird *istDS glitch

[Paul Stenquist]

The *istD will do strange things when the batteries are almost dead. I 
suspect the S is the same. I would guess there's a momentary voltage 
drop that causes computer glitches. Never shoot without backup 
batteries.

So I'm taking pictures at a show, and the *istDS locks up.
Out of nowhere, it sets itself in "bulb" mode, won't let me trip the

won't let me do anything.

Turn the camera off, turn it on, it pops the flash, the back displays

1.0 and goes black, and same story.

Annoyed now, remove and replace the batteries.  No change.  Remove and 
replace
SD card.  Remove and replace batteries again...and everything is back 
to
normal.

My batteries were close to being totally discharged, though. (they 
were fully
depleted by the end of the night)
