Zero Project preview at the Open Circle Theater

By Sparky | November 19, 2005

Tonight I had the pleasure of going to a cinema preview event being put on Ear To The Ground Theatre. My friend Alissa was a major part of the piece and had invited me to see it. The Zero Project is a physical theater experience that explores the concepts of zero and infinity. I took along my (now not so trusty) camera and got some great shots.

To my distress my 10D started giving me a strange error midway through the performance and it would shut down suddenly and display “Error 99″ on its display. I could remove the battery and start the camera up no problem but it would display the same error. I tried switching lenses to see if that might help - but nothing.

Luckily a bit of research on the net is showing that the error is most probably from dirty contacts. There is a lot of discussion as to what causes it but several people have commented that by cleaning the contacts on both the camera and the lens you are using with a pencil eraser the problem will be fixed. I’m going to try some test shots in the morning and hopefully the problem is fixed. With my sisters wedding coming up I both need a camera and can’t afford a new digital back!
