[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 375504, member: 9252"] Was the previous shot to it freezing a long exposure? If so, there may not be a problem.... Check the settings for "Long exposure noise reduction". If you take a 30 second shot for example, the camera will record a LOT of info in that 30 seconds... It will then spend another 30 seconds after the shutter closes doing noise reduction.... All of this then needs to be written to the memory card. During this time, the green light will be on and the camera won't be able to take another shot. How is the camera now? Check the settings and try again with a long exposure tonight, but bear in mind that a 30 second exposure could take 1:10 - 1:30 mins to complete from shutter opening to the camera being ready to take another shot. You speed this process up by disabling long exposure noise reduction, but you will have noisier shots. ETA - The camera will not power off until the buffer is written to the memory card, which is why when you powered it off, it stayed on until you removed the battery. [/QUOTE]
