[QUOTE="nickt, post: 702238, member: 4923"] Failure to fire without a message is usually when the camera does not see focus. Switch your lens to Manual focus. I don't know what lens you have, but it should have an af/m switch. Switching it to M will tell your camera not to worry about focus. If that works, switch it back to af and try it.
