Mirror Lockup

[pkay]

Have the latest version: 3.1.14

Canon 500D

Last night the mirror locked up 5 times.

I can send LOG files but I don't know where they are.

Sorry, can you explain what you mean by "the mirror locked up"?

What steps were you doing to cause this to happen?

I started a capture plan of 90 images. It started OK.

I came back an hour later and it had stopped at 10 images.

BYE had disconnected from the Camera and would not reconnect.

I turned the camera OFF and heard the mirror close.

I reconnected and it worked fine for about another 10 images and did the same thing.

The next time, I was watching the count down timer. it was doing weird things: flashing on and off, giving strange numbers.

LAst night, it worked faultlessly. 

Maybe a glitch of some sort?

I would check the USB cable and camera connection. This is where communication glitches usually occur.
