My canon 7d broke most likely due to taking the CF to early. The camera still takes pictures but none of the buttons work and I can't access the menu. Automatic mode somehow gives back the control but due to its limitations I can't do much. Any ideas what to do?
I figured out that if I put the camera in video mode and changed the dial I would get the live view for the video to show up. I then changed the dial from P to Auto and pressed the menu button. The menu showed up. This was the only way I could get the menu to appear. I am now going to load the firmware again and see if it will restore the camera to proper operation.
