Hello
I have 3 Canon T80s, two of which function perfectly with and without the matching AC lenses.
One camera, although cosmeticaaly perfect, however has an odd fault:
new batteries appear to discharge very quickly when the camera is switched on. Camera will fire just once or twice before battery check shows batteries flat. Then camera just makes a sick click when I attempt to expose. Seems like a straightforward short-out, but where could it be? All obvious battery terminals are clean. Any ideas and or experienced shared would be very welcome. Thanks.
