Error 30 is an error you don't want to see. It means there's a problem with the shutter (electrical or mechanical). You can read more about it [http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/infobank/camera_settings/eos_error_codes_and_messages.do|here].

Error 30 is really bad on Canon. It's a confirmed shutter failure (mechanically dead, or electrical). You can read more about it [link|http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/infobank/camera_settings/eos_error_codes_and_messages.do|here|new_window=true].

I suspect your shutter is at the end of it's life. On these low end cameras, the shutter usually lasts ~50k shots. To make it worse, there's no way verify the actuation count on these cameras; you have to go blind and hope it doesn't happen on used cameras.Most do not meet the 50k shutter count, but some do. If the camera has been abused, it's going to die much earlier. The bad news is it's usually not something you can clear with a battery; it's usually a failed shutter. The cameras continuously operate the shutter when it fails; if this happens, it's usually severe.

It's often a "EOL" shutter, which was only rated up to ~50k on older budget Canons like this (newer ones from the Txi line are ~100k, non "i" is still ~50k). To make it worse, there's no way verify the actuation count on all of these cameras; you have to have the right one with the right processor (DIGIC II or newer), or go in blind and hope it's not near the end with used. Since these are purchased by amateurs, most of these never meet that rating due to being abused and die early. If it was taken care of, it might but don't expect it to happen on a entry level body. The bad news is it's usually not something you can clear with a battery; it's usually the shutter - worth a try, but don't buy a genuine pack; get a good clone, to make the inevitable hurt less. The usual warning on Canon when the shutter is toast is cameras continuously operate the shutter. This is very bad, and should be assumed a dead camera until you can run it in a non critical setting with a new battery reliably for 1-2 months. ***Yes, it's THAT likely to fail again.***

It's best to get this repair done professionally since the entire camera needs to be taken apart, but it usually isn't worth it on the T series because the price of a used camera is usually close to the repair. Get it checked out professionally and brace for the worst. If it's about the same as a new camera, I'd just buy a body only Canon to replace it.

It's best to get this repair done professionally since the entire camera needs to be taken apart unless you can do it yourself and are willing to run the camera due to a disassembly error. Even as a DIY repair, unless you can get a NOS shutter or it isn't obsolete, the cost vs body only price for a prosumer model tends to be the end of these.

If the shutter continuously operates in that mode without you doing anything, it's probably bad.
