You mean 'after remembering to take the lens cap off'?

(only wish I was joking).
Rich,
Try these tricks.
I noticed a simple trick this evening that checks in OVF whether you have the lens cap on or not.

1. If you look at the Histogram box in bottom left this is empty if the lens cap is on as there is no light impacting on the sensor!.. Simple.
2. This wont work for those who MF. If you press the shutter release to focus you get the Red box of failure. No AF!! No light so image, no AF.

So simple :-)

Hope these help reduce the black shot syndrome.
